Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE63X160S
The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE63X160S 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 ACE63X160S
This AirTAC ACE63X160S is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder that extends and retracts its 16 mm rod with air pressure. With a 63 mm bore it delivers 1558.6 N of push force and 1458.1 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it a solid mid-range workhorse for automated equipment.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight guarding and gantry layouts. The optional -S magnet is fitted on this model, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted for position sensing. For a 2:1 safety margin, plan to lift about 79 kg vertically with this unit at 0.5 MPa, not the full rated force.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø63mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 1559 N | 1458 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 2182 N | 2041 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 318 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

Where the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE63X160S Is Used
Machine Guard Door
Actuates a sliding safety guard on a CNC mill, using the 160 mm stroke to clear the work envelope while the compact body fits inside the machine frame.
Carton Ejector
Pushes finished cartons off a conveyor onto a pallet in a packaging line, with 1558.6 N push force handling boxes up to 79 kg at a safe 2:1 margin.
Clamping Jig
Clamps a metal bracket in a drilling fixture, using the 63 mm bore's 1458.1 N pull force to hold the part firmly during machining operations.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE63X160S the Right Cylinder?
For lighter duty, the ACE50X160 with a 50 mm bore gives 981.7 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the ACE80X160 with an 80 mm bore provides 2513.3 N push at the same pressure. Choose the 63 mm bore when you need a balance of force and compactness for medium-sized fixtures.
This model has the -S magnet option, so order CMSE or DMSE sensors separately for position feedback. The 1/8" port suits standard air lines, and the fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact, but it does not hold a load if air pressure is lost - use a rod lock or pilot check valve for load holding.
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 ACE63X160S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, push force is 1558.6 N and 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.
This model carries the optional -S magnet, which is not standard on all ACE cylinders. With the -S magnet fitted, you can mount CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches for position sensing. The compact ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
