The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X125 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 125mm 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.
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED63X125 pushes a 63 mm piston through a 125 mm stroke with a rod leaving BOTH covers, so thrust is identical on every stroke: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tool. Its short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it drops into tight jigs and gantries.
The hard-anodized aluminium body pairs with an S45C hard-chrome plated rod, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. At 0.5 MPa the rod-side thrust of 1458.1 N equals roughly 148 kgf, so halving for a 2:1 margin lets you lift about 74 kg vertically with margin to spare. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s across 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) of clean, 40 um filtered air. The magnet is not fitted on this code; order the optional -S version if you need CMSE / DMSE switch positions.

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 | 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).
| ACED | ISO 21287 compact cylinder (double-rod). |
|---|---|
| 63 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×125 | 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.
Symmetric 1458.1 N force at 0.5 MPa lets one cylinder clamp and unclamp a machined housing from either side of the jig without re-plumbing.
The 125 mm stroke and 30-500 mm/s speed suit diverting cartons on a bottling conveyor, with the rear rod driving a position flag.
Lifts about 74 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin, enough for raising battery trays or lids on an assembly gantry.
At 1458.1 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, this 63 mm bore sits between the 50 mm size (881.2 N) and the 80 mm size (2356.2 N), so step down for lighter presses or up for heavier clamping. The 125 mm stroke is well inside the 250 mm standard limit for this bore. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. Mount with FA/FB flanges, LB foot or FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles, and specify the -S code if CMSE / DMSE sensing is planned.
Quick checklist
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal in both directions: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 297.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the air must be filtered to 40 um.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow guards and tight fixtures. Sensing needs the optional -S magnet code; this standard ACED63X125 has no magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches only work on the -S variant. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and the female M10x1.5 rod thread with 1/8" PT ports keeps plumbing simple.
