Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED125X60SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED125X60SB 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 ACED125X60SB
A heavy-duty double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED125X60SB pushes a 125 mm bore through a 60 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers. Because each side of the piston sees the rod-side area, output is a matched 5890.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 8246.7 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction - no push/pull mismatch to design around. The male rod thread (B code) and the fitted -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches come ready from the factory.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated 25 mm rod saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters when a 60 mm stroke must fit inside a press frame or welding fixture. A fixed TPU bumper at each cover absorbs end-of-stroke shock, and the through-rod resists rotation so a back-end rod can carry a sensor flag. Running at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-500 mm/s, plan on roughly 3534 N of real work at 0.5 MPa (a 0.6 rule of thumb), which is about 360 kg of vertical lift at 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 ACED125X60SB Is Used
Heavy press and forming fixtures
The matched 5890.5 N in both directions suits a 60 mm-stroke clinching or staking head in an automotive press frame, where the short ISO 21287 body fits between platens.
Pallet transfer pushers
A warehouse pallet diverter needs equal push and return force; the double-rod design delivers 8246.7 N at 0.7 MPa either way, and the rear rod can carry a flag for a DMSE switch.
Steel coil clamping stations
Clamping a steel coil on a processing line demands symmetric force and a rotation-stiff 25 mm rod; the male thread takes a custom clamp arm directly.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED125X60SB the Right Cylinder?
At 5890.5 N per direction this bore sits a full class above the ACED100 (3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa); if the load is lighter, the ACED80 at 2356.2 N keeps the same compact footprint. The 60 mm stroke is well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for bore 125, so it ships as a catalogue item. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the press or clamp must hold position. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face, and I/Y rod knuckles suit the male-threaded rod ends.
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 ACED125X60SB FAQ
Yes - it is a double-rod cylinder, so a rod exits both covers and both strokes use the rod-side area. Force 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 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 in ACED125X60SB means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clamped into the body slots to signal end positions. Deceleration at each end of the 60 mm stroke comes from a fixed TPU bumper in both covers - it is not adjustable. The cylinder is double acting and will drift if air is lost, so use a rod lock or pilot check where a held load is required.
