About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED20X60SB
The ACED20X60SB is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the ISO 21287 short-body format, with a 20 mm bore and 60 mm stroke. A 10 mm hard-chrome-plated S45C rod exits both covers, so the output force is EQUAL in both directions - 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa on each stroke, because both sides work on the rod-side area. The through-rod resists rotation and light side load, and the rear rod stub can carry a sensor flag or a second tool. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed range 30-500 mm/s.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight pick-and-place heads and small fixtures. This SB variant carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots, and the B code gives a male rod thread. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. At 0.5 MPa the 117.8 N thrust is roughly 12 kgf, so halving for a 2:1 margin lets it lift about 6 kg vertically - size the part weight accordingly.

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 ACED20X60SB Is Used
Pick-and-place gripper head
The symmetric through-rod drives a two-finger gripper on a small assembly robot, with the 60 mm stroke covering a tray-to-chute transfer of parts up to about 6 kg with a 2:1 margin.
Lab sample press
Equal 117.8 N force in both directions lets the same cylinder cap and release microplate liddes in a diagnostics machine, with CMSE switches confirming each end position via the fitted -S magnet.
Conveyor diverter pusher
The back-end rod doubles as a guide or flag mount while the front rod pushes cartons between lanes at 30-500 mm/s, all inside a guard sized for the compact ISO 21287 body.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED20X60SB the Right Cylinder?
At 117.8 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, the 20 mm bore sits between the 16 mm (75.4 N) and the 25 mm (206.2 N) in the ACED range - step down for lighter grippers, up if you need the 42 kgf class. Note that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost; add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. The male rod thread (B) suits external knuckles, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face. The -S magnet is fitted on this model, so CMSE / DMSE switches work out of the box.
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 ACED20X60SB FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area, so output is EQUAL both ways: 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of about 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), and speed runs 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um.
The ISO 21287 short body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, ideal for tight gantries. This SB model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be clipped into the body slots. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy; it does not lock or hold a load, so use a rod lock or pilot check where position must be kept.
