Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED125X60S
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED125X60S is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 60mm stroke, 1/4" 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 ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED125X60S
A double acting AirTAC compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED125X60S pushes a 25 mm rod out of BOTH covers, so the 125 mm bore delivers an identical 5890.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 8246.7 N at 0.7 MPa in each direction - both strokes work on the rod-side area. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a roller-burnished bore, the S45C piston rod is hard-chrome plated, and a fixed TPU bumper sits at each end of the 60 mm travel. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed range 30-500 mm/s.
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 must fit inside a press frame or gantry. Because the through-rod exits the rear cover too, it resists rotation and side load and gives you a free back-end shaft for a sensor flag. The fitted -S magnet lets CMSE / DMSE switches report end positions. At 0.5 MPa the 5890.5 N rating works out to roughly 600 kg of force, so plan on about 360 kg of real work, or lift roughly 300 kg vertically with a 2:1 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.
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 ACED125X60S Is Used
Heavy press-frame clamping
The symmetric 5890.5 N push and pull at 0.5 MPa suits stamping and forming fixtures where the clamp must retract with the same force it clamps with, inside a frame too short for a full-length profile cylinder.
Counterbalanced lift columns
A rod on both ends of a 125 mm piston gives about 300 kg of vertical lift capability at 0.5 MPa with a 2:1 margin - useful for raising heavy weld fixtures or die carts on a 60 mm stroke.
Dual-side part ejection
The rear rod on the ACED125X60S can eject a machined housing from the back while the front rod strips it forward, both strokes delivering 8246.7 N at 0.7 MPa with CMSE switches confirming position.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED125X60S the Right Cylinder?
At 5890.5 N per direction this is the top of the ACED range - step down to the 100 mm bore (3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa) for lighter clamping, or move to a TACED non-rotating version if the load must not turn. The 60 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for bore 125, so it ships as a catalog item. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost; add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and I/Y rod knuckles suit the 25 mm female M16x2.0 thread.
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 ACED125X60S FAQ
Yes - it is a double-rod cylinder, so a 25 mm rod exits both covers and every stroke uses the rod-side area of the 125 mm bore. Output is 5890.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 8246.7 N at 0.7 MPa in EITHER direction, with a peak of 1201.3 kgf (about 1201 kgf) at the 1.0 MPa maximum. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um.
The -S code on this model means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches clamp into the body slots for end-of-stroke detection. The ISO 21287 compact body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets mount on the standard face. The rod end is female M16x2.0, the air port is 1/4" PT, and fixed TPU bumpers decelerate the piston at both ends of the 60 mm stroke.
