The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X125S 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 ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACED63X125S delivers 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa in either direction, because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 63 mm bore pushes 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa the same way out of each end, so no direction is weaker. Its short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight jigs, gantries and guarding where a full-length body cannot fit.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and 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. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries magnet slots, and this model is ordered with the -S option, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches mount directly. As a rule of thumb, plan on about 875 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which is roughly 74 kg lifted vertically 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).
| 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.
Equal 1458.1 N force from both rod ends lets one cylinder clamp a machined aluminium housing from two sides in a CNC fixture, keeping clamp pressure identical on both faces.
With about 74 kg of vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin, the double rod guides a small pallet elevator platen on a packaging line without a separate guide post.
The rear rod carries a sensor flag while the front rod presses bearing cups into housings, and the fitted -S magnet feeds CMSE switch signals to the PLC at both ends of the 125 mm stroke.
At 63 mm bore this sits between the 50 mm size (881.2 N at 0.5 MPa) and the 80 mm size (2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa), so pick it when a 50 mm cylinder is under-rated but 80 mm is oversized. The 125 mm stroke is well inside the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. FA/FB flanges, LB feet, FTC brackets and I/Y rod knuckles bolt to the ISO 21287 face. Note that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. This unit already carries the -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switching.
Quick checklist
Output is equal in both directions because a rod exits each cover and both strokes use the rod-side area: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa, 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa, and up to 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, speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um, and -20 to +70 C temperature.
It is an ISO 21287 short-body cylinder whose hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with an S45C hard-chrome rod through both covers and a fixed TPU bumper at each end. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches clip into the body slots; FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets mount on the standard face.
