The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED25X60S 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 built to ISO 21287, the ACED25X60S pushes a 10 mm rod out of BOTH covers, so the 25 mm bore delivers an identical 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 288.6 N at 0.7 MPa in each direction - both strokes work on the rod-side area. The S in the code means the optional magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped onto the body slot for end-of-stroke sensing.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with a hard-chrome plated S45C rod runs at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. Because the short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it slots into tight fixtures; and since the through-rod resists rotation, the rear rod can also carry a sensor flag or a symmetric tool plate. As a rule of thumb, plan on roughly 124 N (about 12.6 kgf) of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts around 10 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.
The equal 206.2 N clamp and push from the same 25 mm bore lets one ACED25X60S hold a machined bracket from either side inside a compact jig, where the short body fits between fixture rails.
With a rod at both covers, the rear rod drives a pusher plate while the front rod returns a guide arm, moving cartons at 30-500 mm/s with identical force in each direction.
The fitted magnet feeds CMSE or DMSE switches at both stroke ends, so a QC bench can confirm the 60 mm probe stroke completed before releasing the part to the next step.
At 206.2 N per side, bore 25 suits light clamping and transfer tasks; step down to bore 20 (117.8 N at 0.5 MPa) for smaller loads or up to bore 32 (345.6 N) when more grip is needed. The 60 mm stroke sits well inside the 150 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a catalogue item. 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. Female M6x1.0 rod thread, PT ports, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA clevis brackets bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both strokes, 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 range 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 a standard length (bore 25 goes up to 150 mm).
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow gantries and guards. This S-coded unit carries the optional magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches mount in the body slot for stroke-end signals. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA clevis brackets attach directly to the standard mounting face.
