Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED16X60SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED16X60SB 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 ACED16X60SB
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED16X60SB pushes a 16 mm bore through a 60 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers. Because each side sees the rod-side area, output is 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction - no push/pull imbalance. The male rod thread (B code) suits couplings and tooling plates, and the M5x0.8 port keeps tubing runs small.
The short hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into slim pick-and-place arms and guarding where a full-length body cannot. The through-rod resists rotation and light side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. This S-coded model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches mount directly on the body slots. Fixed TPU bumpers at both ends absorb stroke-end shock, and the S45C hard-chrome rod runs 30-500 mm/s. At 0.5 MPa the thrust equals about 7.7 kgf, so halving for margin lets it lift roughly 3.8 kg vertically.

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 ACED16X60SB Is Used
Small-parts ejection
Kicks stamped terminals or plastic caps off a die or nest, with 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa ample for parts under a few hundred grams and the 60 mm stroke clearing the fixture.
Position-verified clamping
The fitted -S magnet drives CMSE or DMSE switches at both stroke ends, confirming a jig clamp is fully open before a robot picks the workpiece.
Balanced reciprocating slide
Equal force both directions makes the through-rod ideal for a light reciprocating carrier on an electronics assembly bench, reversing at 30-500 mm/s without push/pull mismatch.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED16X60SB the Right Cylinder?
For lighter duties the bore 12 ACED gives 42.4 N at 0.5 MPa; step up to bore 20 for 117.8 N. If your fixture needs more than 75 mm of standard travel, a longer stroke is made to order. Remember a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check for held loads. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the male thread on this B version pairs with 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 ACED16X60SB FAQ
With a rod on both covers, force is identical on each stroke: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa (rod-side area both ways). At 1.0 MPa the bore 16 double-rod reaches a maximum of 15.4 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure.
The ISO 21287 body is about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and this S-coded unit carries the optional -S magnet so CMSE / DMSE switches clip into the body slots. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke impact; it does not hold or brake a load, so use a rod lock or pilot check where position must be kept.
