Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED16X60B
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED16X60B is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 60mm stroke, M5×0.8 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.

About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED16X60B
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED16X60B pushes a 16 mm bore through a 60 mm stroke with a piston rod leaving BOTH covers. Because each side of the piston sees the rod-side area, output is a symmetric 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction - no push/pull imbalance to compensate for. The male rod thread (B code) bolts straight to your tooling.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into slim pick-and-place arms and fixture plates. A fixed TPU bumper at each end takes the end-of-stroke shock, the through-rod resists rotation and light side load, and the back rod can carry a sensor flag. Plan on roughly 45 N (about 4.6 kgf) of usable work at 0.5 MPa - enough to lift a 2.3 kg part vertically with a 2:1 margin. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).

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 (Ø16mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 75 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 106 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 15 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 ACED16X60B Is Used
Small-part ejection from press dies
The symmetric 75.4 N output at 0.5 MPa kicks stamped terminals or connectors off a die face in either stroke direction, and the 60 mm stroke clears the part without a long body in the way.
Product pusher on packaging lines
With about 4.6 kgf of rod-side force both ways, the through-rod shunts cartons or blisters sideways off a conveyor; the male thread takes a pusher paddle directly.
Lab and test-rig actuation
The 16 mm bore, M5x0.8 port and 30-500 mm/s speed band suit bench-top cycling fixtures; the rear rod doubles as a mount for a position flag on the rig.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED16X60B the Right Cylinder?
At 75.4 N @0.5 MPa this bore sits between the 12 mm size (42.4 N) and the 20 mm size (117.8 N) - step down for lighter gripper duty, up if your load creeps past about 45 N of real work. Stroke 60 mm is within the 75 mm standard for bore 16, so no made-to-order build is needed. Note the cylinder does not hold position if air is lost; add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. This unit has no magnet fitted - order the -S code instead if you want CMSE / DMSE switch sensing, and pair it with FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC mounting plus I/Y rod knuckles.
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 ACED16X60B FAQ
Force is equal in both directions because a rod exits each cover and both strokes use the rod-side area: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa. The maximum rating at 1.0 MPa is 15.4 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I/Y knuckles on the standard face. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. Sensing needs the optional -S magnet code - this model (no S) has no magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches cannot be read on it.
