Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X60B
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X60B is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 60mm stroke, 1/8" 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 ACED40X60B
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED40X60B pushes a 12 mm rod out of BOTH covers, so its 40 mm bore delivers 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction - both strokes work on the rod-side area. The male rod thread (B code) bolts straight to tooling, and the short hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight guarding and slide fixtures.
Because the through-rod exits both ends, the shaft resists rotation and side load and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tool. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, and the roller-burnished bore with hard-chrome S45C rod keeps wear low at 30-500 mm/s. Practical sizing: at 0.5 MPa plan on roughly 343 N of real work (about 0.6 of the rating), which vertically lifts about 29 kg with a 2:1 margin. Air supply 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), -20 to +70 C.

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 (Ø40mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 572 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 800 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 117 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 ACED40X60B Is Used
Symmetric part ejection
The 571.8 N through-rod pushes a machined aluminium housing off a CNC fixture from either side, so one cylinder serves both unload stations on a 60 mm stroke.
Bottle-line pusher gate
A beverage plant uses the rear rod to drive a deflector flag while the front rod swings the gate, both strokes delivering equal 800.5 N force at 0.7 MPa.
Twin-pad press fixture
Front and rear male-thread rods each carry a rubber pad to clamp a PCB test jig from two sides, with about 343 N of usable work per pad at 0.5 MPa.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X60B the Right Cylinder?
For a 60 mm stroke in the 500-600 N class at 0.5 MPa, the 40 mm bore is the match; drop to the 32 mm bore (345.6 N) for lighter clamping or step up to the 50 mm bore (881.2 N) when the load grows. The piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. FA/FB flanges, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt to the ISO 21287 face. This unit has no magnet - order the -S code if you need CMSE / DMSE switch sensing.
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 ACED40X60B FAQ
It is a double-rod cylinder, so force is identical in both directions: 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 116.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Both strokes use the rod-side area because a 12 mm rod exits each cover. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 60 mm stroke sits well inside the 200 mm standard stroke for a 40 mm bore.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, an S45C hard-chrome rod, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end to soften end-of-stroke impact. The B code gives a male rod thread on a 1/8" PT ported body. Sensing is not fitted as standard: order the -S version to get the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches, otherwise no magnet is installed.
