About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED20X60B
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACED20X60B pushes with the same 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa (164.9 N at 0.7 MPa) whichever end you feed, because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 20 mm bore takes a 10 mm rod and an M5x0.8 port, and the male rod thread from the B code bolts straight to your tooling. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s across 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) of clean, 40 um filtered air.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight pick stations and sliding guards. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, the hard-anodized aluminium body resists wear, and the through-rod resists rotation and light side load. At 0.5 MPa the 117.8 N output supports roughly 70 N of real work, which is about 6 kg lifted vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note this model has no magnet: order the -S code if you need CMSE or DMSE switch sensing.

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 (Ø20mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 118 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 165 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 24 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 ACED20X60B Is Used
Symmetric parts ejection
The rear rod pushes finished aluminium brackets off a CNC fixture at the same 117.8 N the front rod clamps with, so one valve stroke clears and reloads the nest.
Bottle line pusher gates
A 60 mm through-rod stroke kicks rejected PET bottles off a 300 mm/s conveyor; equal force both ways means the same cylinder also pulls the gate back clear.
Lab sample press
About 6 kg of vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin lets the 20 mm bore lower a microplate sealing head onto sample trays inside a compact enclosure.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED20X60B the Right Cylinder?
At 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa this 20 mm bore suits clamping and positioning under about 70 N of working load; step down to the 16 mm bore (75.4 N) for lighter fixtures or up to the 25 mm bore (206.2 N) when the job needs more muscle. The 60 mm stroke sits well inside the 100 mm standard maximum for this bore. Choose the B male rod thread for knuckle or tool attachment, add FA/FB flange or LB foot brackets to match the fixture, and remember a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - use a rod lock or pilot check if the load must be held. Order -S only if CMSE / DMSE position sensing is required.
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 ACED20X60B FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area, so force is equal either way: 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa, with a peak of 24.0 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 60 mm stroke is within the 100 mm standard maximum for the 20 mm bore.
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 rod knuckles fitting the standard face. This ACED20X60B ships without a magnet; add the -S code to the order and CMSE or DMSE switches can then sense piston position along the body slots. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy.
