The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE63X250SCB is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 250mm 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 ACE63X250SCB is a double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, with a 63 mm bore and a 250 mm stroke. Its hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight machine frames and guarding where a full-length unit will not. The S45C piston rod is hard-chrome plated for wear resistance, and the fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke impact.
At 0.5 MPa this unit delivers 1558.6 N of push force and 1458.1 N of pull force. For a real-world estimate, plan on about 935 N of usable work at that pressure, which translates to lifting roughly 95 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The optional -S magnet is fitted on this model, so you can mount CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches directly to the body for position sensing.

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 1558.6 N push force at 0.5 MPa to drive a small stamping or piercing die in a benchtop press. The compact body fits under a die set where a profile cylinder would not clear, and the fixed TPU bumper protects the tooling at the end of each stroke.
Mount this cylinder with a CB clevis to tamp or square cardboard cartons before taping. The 250 mm stroke covers a range of box heights, and the 1458.1 N pull force retracts the tamping plate quickly to keep the line moving at speeds up to 500 mm/s.
In a CNC machining center, use this cylinder to clamp a workpiece against a fixed stop. The 63 mm bore provides enough force to hold a mid-size part securely, while the short body leaves room for chip guards and coolant nozzles. The optional -S magnet lets a CMSE switch confirm the clamp is engaged.
When sizing an ACE63X250SCB, compare it against the ACE50X250, which produces 981.7 N push at 0.5 MPa, or the ACE80X250, which pushes 2513.3 N at the same pressure. This 63 mm bore sits in the middle, offering a strong balance of force and compactness. The 250 mm stroke is the maximum standard for this bore, so it is a made-to-order option if you need longer travel. Since this is a double acting cylinder, it will not hold its position if air pressure is lost; for a held load, add a rod lock or pilot check valve. The 1/8" port and M10x1.5 female rod thread match standard ISO 21287 accessories, and the CB clevis mounting bracket bolts directly to the body face.
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 rises to 2182.1 N and pull to 2041.3 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 317.9 kgf. The operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), and the proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The ACE63X250SCB has a hard-anodized aluminium body that is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight spaces like machine guarding or gantries. It has a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb impact, and the optional -S magnet on this model allows CMSE or DMSE switches to detect the piston position. The 1/8" port and M10x1.5 rod thread are standard for this bore size.
