The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X125B 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 ACED63X125B pushes a 63 mm piston through a 125 mm stroke with a 16 mm rod leaving BOTH covers. Because each side works on the rod-side area, output is identical in either direction: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa. The male rod thread (B code) bolts straight to your tooling, and the through-rod resists rotation and side load while the rear rod can carry a sensor flag.
The short hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight gantries and guarding. Run it on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, -20 to 70 C. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. For sizing, keep real work near 875 N (about 0.6 of the 0.5 MPa rating); vertically that is roughly 74 kg 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 | 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).

| ×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.
The male-threaded 16 mm rod mounts a forming die that must hit 1458.1 N identically on approach and return, ideal for crimping or staking aluminium brackets on a 125 mm stroke.
A rod on both ends lets one cylinder index parts forward while the rear rod drives a position flag, cycling at 30-500 mm/s between packaging stations.
With about 74 kg of vertical lift capability at a 2:1 margin, the through-rod guides a small pallet elevator in an assembly cell without a separate guide column.
At 1458.1 N per direction, bore 63 sits between the 50 mm frame (881.2 N at 0.5 MPa) and the 80 mm frame (2356.2 N) - pick 63 when 50 is under-rated and 80 is oversized. Stroke 125 mm is inside the 250 mm standard range for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost; add a rod lock or pilot check when the load must stay put. FA/FB flanges, LB feet, FTC brackets and I/Y rod knuckles mount on the ISO 21287 face. This code has no magnet - order ACED63X125BS if you need CMSE / DMSE switch sensing.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area, so force is equal either way: 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 range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 short body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end and FA/FB, LB, FTC or I/Y mounting options. Sensing needs the optional -S magnet: order ACED63X125BS to enable CMSE or DMSE switches - this version (no S) carries no magnet.
