About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED125X60
The ACED125X60 is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 125 mm bore pushes a 25 mm hard-chrome S45C rod out of BOTH covers, so thrust is identical on the extend and retract strokes - 5890.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 8246.7 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction. At 0.5 MPa that is roughly 600 kgf of raw force, so a sensible plan for real work is about 3530 N, which corresponds to lifting around 300 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The 60 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm standard range for this bore.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters when a 125 mm bore press or clamp must fit inside a guarded frame or a low gantry. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a fixed TPU bumper at each end, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tool. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face, and I/Y rod knuckles suit the 25 mm rod. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, with 1/4" ports.

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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø125mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 5890 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 8247 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 1201 kgf |
Double-rod: a rod exits both covers, so output force is equal in both directions (rod-side area used).

Where the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED125X60 Is Used
Short-stroke pressing fixture
A 60 mm stroke delivering 5890.5 N each way suits swaging or staking aluminium housings on an assembly line where the press head must sit inside a compact guarded frame.
Gantry lift-and-lower stage
The through-rod gives a symmetric mount and about 300 kg of practical vertical lift at 0.5 MPa with a 2:1 margin - ideal for lowering castings onto a pallet in a foundry cell.
Reciprocating transfer carriage
Equal force in both directions drives a heavy conveyor cross-shuttle back and forth between hard stops, with the fixed TPU bumpers absorbing the end-of-stroke shock at up to 500 mm/s.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED125X60 the Right Cylinder?
At 5890.5 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, the 125 mm bore is the top of the ACED range; step down to the 100 mm bore (3769.9 N) if your load is under about 380 kgf, or up from the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N). Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve where the load must stay put. This code has no magnet: order ACED125X60S if you want CMSE / DMSE switch positions, and add FA, LB or FTC mounting plus a G-port suffix when ordering.
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 ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED125X60 FAQ
Yes - because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area. Output is 5890.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 8246.7 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, with a maximum of 1201.3 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 1/4" ports take PT thread as standard on this code.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body and a 25 mm hard-chrome S45C rod; the short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. Each end carries a fixed TPU bumper that only decelerates the piston - it never holds or brakes a load, so use a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay in place. FA/FB flanges, LB feet, FTC brackets and I/Y knuckles bolt to the standard face. Position sensing needs the optional -S magnet code; this version has no magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches cannot be fitted to it.
