Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X120
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X120 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 120mm 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 ACED63X120
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED63X120 pushes a 16 mm rod out of BOTH covers, so every stroke works on the rod-side area and delivers an identical 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa (2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa) in each direction. The 63 mm bore reaches a peak of 297.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa, enough for heavy clamping and press-fit work in a body that saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, while the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. In practical terms the 1458.1 N rating supports roughly 875 N (about 89 kg) of real working force at 0.5 MPa, or lifts about 74 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome plated rod stand up to continuous jig duty at 30-500 mm/s.

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 (Ø63mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 1458 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 2041 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 297 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 ACED63X120 Is Used
Press-fit station for bearing housings
The equal 1458.1 N force in both directions lets one ACED63X120 press a bearing into a housing on the forward stroke and eject the finished part on the return, with the 120 mm stroke clearing a deep fixture.
Reciprocating conveyor pusher
A rod on each cover means the through-rod resists the side load of a pusher blade sweeping cartons across a line, running 30-500 mm/s between fixed TPU bumper stops.
Counterweight lift on a packaging gantry
With about 74 kg of vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin, the double-rod build balances a counterweight head on the rear rod while the front rod lifts the load frame.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X120 the Right Cylinder?
At 1458.1 N per direction, bore 63 sits between the 50 mm frame (881.2 N) and the 80 mm frame (2356.2 N) at 0.5 MPa - step down for lighter gates, up for heavy presses. The 120 mm stroke is well inside the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a standard build. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost; add a rod lock or pilot check where a load must stay put. Order the optional -S code if you need the magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches, choose the B code for a male rod thread instead of the standard M10x1.5 female thread, and bolt on FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets. Ports are 1/8" on this bore.
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 ACED63X120 FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on every stroke, so output is equal both ways: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa in each direction, peaking at 297.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, air filtered to 40 um, -20 to +70 C, speed 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets bolt straight to the standard face. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy but never holds a load - use a rod lock or pilot check for that. Position sensing needs the optional -S magnet code; only then can CMSE / DMSE switches be mounted. Rod end is M10x1.5 female thread, ports are 1/8".
