Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE63X160B
The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE63X160B is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 160mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. Its short compact envelope saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.

About the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE63X160B
This AirTAC ACE63X160B is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a 63 mm bore and a 160 mm stroke. It delivers 1558.6 N push and 1458.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa, so it suits medium-duty automation where space is tight. The hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, letting it fit inside machine guards and compact jigs. A fixed TPU bumper at each end softens the stop, and the S45C hard-chrome rod resists wear in continuous cycling.
Because this model has no -S code, it has no magnet, so CMSE or DMSE sensors cannot be mounted without ordering the optional magnet version. For a real application, plan to use about 935 N (0.6 x 1558.6 N) as a safe working load at 0.5 MPa, which equals roughly 95 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The male rod thread (B) simplifies direct coupling to a load, and the 1/8" port matches standard fittings for quick installation.

Where the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE63X160B Is Used
Compact Jig Clamping
Use in a CNC fixture to clamp a 60 kg part with a 160 mm stroke. The 1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa holds the workpiece firmly, and the short body fits between guide rails where a longer cylinder would not.
Pneumatic Pusher
On a packaging line, this cylinder pushes boxes off a conveyor at 160 mm stroke. The 1458.1 N pull retracts the pusher quickly, and the TPU bumper prevents shock to the frame at high cycle rates.
Machine Guard Door
Actuate a sliding safety guard on a press. The 160 mm stroke moves the door fully open or closed, and the compact body mounts behind the guard panel, saving about 50% of the space of a profile cylinder.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE63X160B the Right Cylinder?
Choose this ACE63X160B when you need a 160 mm stroke with a 63 mm bore. It pushes 1558.6 N and pulls 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa, which is stronger than the 50 mm bore's 981.7 N push, but lighter than the 80 mm bore's 2513.3 N push. If your load is closer to 800 N, the 50 mm bore may save cost, but for 1000 N or more, this 63 mm bore is the right fit. Remember, this unit has no magnet for sensors, so order the -S version if you need position feedback with CMSE or DMSE switches. The male rod thread (B) is ready for a clevis or rod end, and the ISO 21287 face accepts FA/FB flange, LB foot, or CA/CB clevis mounts. Since it is double acting, air extends and retracts the rod, but it will not hold a load when air pressure is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for vertical lifting.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Short stroke fits the compact body
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Add -S if you need the magnet for sensors
- ✓ Rod type (female / male B) & mount (FA/LB/CA)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Compact body: keep the stroke short and avoid side load on the rod.
- check Do not dismantle the threaded front/back covers.
- check Keep speed within the rated range; the TPU bumper absorbs stroke-end energy.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE63X160B FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 1558.6 N and the pull force is 1458.1 N. At 0.7 MPa, push is 2182.1 N and pull is 2041.3 N. The theoretical maximum force is 317.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
No, this ACE63X160B does not have a magnet because the model code lacks the -S suffix. To use CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches, you must order the -S version, which includes the optional magnet. The cylinder body has magnet slots, but the magnet is only fitted when you specify the -S code.
