The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED25X60B 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.
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACED25X60B pushes with the same 206.2 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 25 mm bore sits in the mid-light force class, and the male rod thread from the B code bolts straight to your tooling. Running on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 30-500 mm/s speed band, it suits fast, symmetric push-pull motions.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and gantries. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. With the 206.2 N rating, plan on roughly 123 N (about 12.6 kg) of real work per direction, which lifts roughly 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.
| 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).

|---|---|
| 25 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×60 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSE / DMSE sensors (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
ACE-family variants: ACE (double acting), ASE / ATE (single acting push / pull), ACED (double rod), ACEJ (adjustable stroke), TACE / TACED (non-rotating twin-guide yoke). Mounting accessories: FA / FB flange, LB foot, CA / CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, FTC; plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G.
Equal 206.2 N force in both directions lets one cylinder clamp a PCB fixture on the forward stroke and eject it on the return, with the 60 mm stroke matching typical tray pitch.
The short ISO 21287 body fits inside a welding jig arm where a full-length profile cylinder would foul the clamp arm, and the male rod thread takes a standard clamp tip.
A rod at each end gives a symmetric mount for center-guided diverters on a bottling conveyor, with the rear rod available to drive a flag for a proximity sensor.
At 206.2 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, this bore handles light clamping and synchronized push-pull tasks. Step down to ACED20 (117.8 N) for smaller loads, or up to ACED32 (345.6 N) when the part gets heavier. The 60 mm stroke sits well inside the 150 mm standard range for bore 25. Choose the -S code if you later need CMSE or DMSE switches - this unit has no magnet. Note that the piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for held loads. FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA clevis and FTC brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area, so output is equal both ways: 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 288.6 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 42.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed is 30-500 mm/s.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome plated rod, M5x0.8 ports and a fixed TPU bumper at each end, about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. Sensing requires the optional -S magnet code; this model has no magnet, so order ACED25X60BS to use CMSE or DMSE switches.
