About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED20X60S
The ACED20X60S is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 20 mm bore with 60 mm of stroke and a 10 mm piston rod leaving both covers, so output force is equal in each direction (117.8 N at 0.5 MPa, 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa). The hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome-plated rod, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
Because the short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, this model slips into tight slide assemblies and small fixtures. The through-rod resists rotation and light side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped onto the body for end-position feedback. In practice, plan on roughly 70 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 6 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 (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 ACED20X60S Is Used
Small-parts ejection on rotary tables
The 117.8 N symmetric push from either rod end knocks finished bushings off a machining rotary table, and the short ISO 21287 body fits under the fixture plate where a full-length cylinder cannot.
Position-flagged gate on a filling line
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches on the body confirm gate open and closed on a bottle filling line, while the rear rod drives a repeater flag for the operator panel.
Light press-fit of bearings
About 70 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa presses small bearings into plastic housings on an assembly bench, with the through-rod keeping the tooling square under slight side load.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED20X60S the Right Cylinder?
At 117.8 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, the 20 mm bore suits light clamping and transfer tasks; step down to a 16 mm bore (75.4 N) for smaller loads or up to a 25 mm bore (206.2 N) if you need roughly 75% more force. The 60 mm stroke sits well inside the 100 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a catalogue item. Female M6x1.0 rod thread, PT ports, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face. Note that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put.
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 ACED20X60S FAQ
Both directions are identical because a rod exits each cover and both strokes use the rod-side area: 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 24.0 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, temperature -20 to +70 C, air filtered to 40 um.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits cramped slides and gantries. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be mounted in the body slots. FA/FB flanges, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I and Y rod knuckles attach to the standard face, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end decelerates the piston at stroke ends.
