The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE63X20S is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 20mm 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.
This AirTAC ACE63X20S is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder that extends and retracts its 16 mm rod with air pressure. The 63 mm bore generates 1558.6 N of push force and 1458.1 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, so it suits medium-duty automation tasks.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, saving valuable space in tight machine frames. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs impact, and the optional -S magnet is fitted here, enabling CMSE or DMSE switches for position sensing. For a safe working load, plan for roughly 935 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which equals lifting about 95 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACE-series (ISO 21287) datasheet. Body: hard-anodized aluminium alloy; piston rod: S45C carbon steel with hard-chrome plating. Rod type: female thread (blank) or male thread (B). Thread options: PT (blank) / G. A built-in magnet is OPTIONAL — add the -S code to fit CMSE / DMSE position sensors.

| 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.

ACE-family variants: ACE (double acting), ASE / ATE (single acting push / pull), ACED (double rod), ACEJ (adjustable stroke), TACE / TACED (non-rotating twin-guide yoke). Mounting accessories: FA / FB flange, LB foot, CA / CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, FTC; plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G.
Use the ACE63X20S to clamp a workpiece in a CNC milling fixture. Its 1558.6 N push force holds parts securely, while the short body fits under a machine guard.
Mount this cylinder on a packaging conveyor to raise a stop gate. The 20 mm stroke is enough to block cartons, and the 1458.1 N pull force retracts the gate quickly.
In a small assembly press, the ACE63X20S pushes a stamping die with 2182.1 N at 0.7 MPa. The compact body lets you install it in a benchtop frame with minimal clearance.
Choose the ACE63X20S when you need a compact cylinder with a 20 mm stroke and a 63 mm bore. Compare it with the ACE50X20S, which pushes 981.7 N at 0.5 MPa, or the ACE80X20S, which pushes 2513.3 N, to match your force requirement. This model uses a 1/8" port and has a female M10x1.5 rod thread, fitting standard ISO 21287 mounts like FA, LB, or CA brackets.
Because the magnet is fitted, you can add CMSE or DMSE switches for end-of-stroke detection. Remember that a plain ACE does not hold its position when air is removed; use a rod lock or pilot check valve for load holding. The fixed TPU bumper only softens end-of-stroke impact, not a braking function.
Quick checklist
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).
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body that is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It has a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb impact, not an adjustable cushion. The bumper does not lock or hold a load; for that, use a rod lock or pilot check valve.
