Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X120S
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X120S 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 ACED63X120S
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED63X120S pushes a 16 mm rod out of BOTH covers, so thrust is identical on every stroke: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa, whichever end you feed. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the back-end rod can carry a sensor flag. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight gantries and guarding where a full-length body will not fit.
The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a roller-burnished bore, and the S45C hard-chrome plated rod runs on a two-way seal that stores grease. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. For sizing, treat roughly 875 N (about 89 kg) as the usable working force at 0.5 MPa, which means this cylinder lifts about 74 kg vertically even with a 2:1 margin. The fitted -S magnet lets CMSE / DMSE switches report end positions, and speed spans 30-500 mm/s over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).

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 ACED63X120S Is Used
Reciprocating transfer slide
The through-rod drives a pallet slide on a packaging line where 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa is needed in BOTH directions - the return stroke pushes just as hard, so no separate return cylinder is required.
Lift-and-locate gantry station
Raising and lowering a 70 kg weld fixture between two hard stops: the equal rod-side force both ways keeps the descent controlled, and the short ISO 21287 body fits inside the gantry beam.
Position-verified clamp press
A rod exits each cover of the ACED63X120S, so the rear rod carries a flag past a DMSE switch while the front rod presses a bearing into a housing - position feedback without extra brackets.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X120S the Right Cylinder?
At bore 63 you sit mid-range: a 50 mm ACED gives 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa, while an 80 mm bore steps up to 2356.2 N, so pick 63 mm when your fixture needs roughly 1.4 kN both ways. The 120 mm stroke sits well inside the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a catalogue item. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. FA/FB flanges, LB feet, CA clevis and FTC brackets bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face, and the female M10x1.5 rod thread accepts standard I or Y knuckles.
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 ACED63X120S FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means a rod leaves both covers, so every stroke works on the rod-side area. Force is 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa, equal in both directions, with a maximum of 297.4 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, air filtered to 40 um, temperature -20 to +70 C.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight jigs and guarding. This -S version carries the optional magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches mount in the body slots for end-of-stroke detection. Fixed TPU bumpers absorb stroke-end energy at both covers, and FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA clevis and FTC brackets bolt to the standard ISO 21287 face. The rod thread is female M10x1.5 and the port is 1/8" PT.
