Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED25X60
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED25X60 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm 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 ACED25X60
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACED25X60 pushes with the same 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa (288.6 N at 0.7 MPa) on every stroke, because both sides of the 25 mm piston work on the rod-side area. The through-rod resists rotation and light side load, and the rear rod end doubles as a mount for a sensor flag or a second tool. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures and guarding. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, the hard-anodized aluminium barrel runs on an S45C hard-chrome rod, and the 60 mm stroke sits well inside the 150 mm standard range for this bore. As a working rule, size the job to about 124 N (roughly 6 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin) rather than the full rating.

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 (Ø25mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 206 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 289 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 42 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 ACED25X60 Is Used
Bidirectional push on a packaging line
The equal 206.2 N output both ways lets one ACED25X60 eject a carton then retract with the same force to seat the next blank, no direction derating needed.
Symmetric fixture clamping in a jig
A rod on each cover lets the cylinder clamp from either face of a machining jig, and the 60 mm stroke clears part loading inside a compact ISO 21287 envelope.
Flag carrier on a transfer gantry
The rear rod end carries a position flag for a proximity sensor, while the through-rod keeps the tool plate from rotating at 30-500 mm/s travel speeds.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED25X60 the Right Cylinder?
At 206.2 N per direction this bore 25 unit covers clamping and transfer tasks up to roughly 12 kg of vertical load with margin; step down to ACED20X60 (117.8 N) for lighter pick-and-place or up to ACED32X60 (345.6 N) for heavier dies. Air ports are M5x0.8, the rod end carries a female M6x1.0 thread, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA clevis brackets bolt to the standard ISO 21287 face. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load, and order the -S code if you later want CMSE / DMSE switches - this unit ships without a magnet.
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 ACED25X60 FAQ
Yes. Because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area: 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 288.6 N at 0.7 MPa, equal in extend and retract. Maximum output at 1.0 MPa is 42.0 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder, roughly 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod. Fixed TPU bumpers at each end absorb end-of-stroke shock. This version has no magnet fitted; order the -S code to enable CMSE / DMSE switch detection. Air connection is M5x0.8 and the female rod thread is M6x1.0.
