The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X15 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 15mm 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.
The ACED63X15 is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 16 mm hard-chrome S45C rod exits both covers of the 63 mm bore, so output force is equal in both directions because each stroke works on the rod-side area. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 1458.1 N either way, and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa. The short hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it drops into tight jigs, guarding and gantry frames where a full-length body simply will not fit.
Plan real work at roughly 874 N (about 0.6 of the 0.5 MPa rating), which means this 15 mm stroke unit lifts about 74 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and the optional -S magnet lets you fit CMSE / DMSE switches - without the -S code there is no magnet fitted.

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 15 mm stroke clamps a machined aluminium housing in a 4th-axis fixture with 1458.1 N of grip, and the equal force both ways lets the same cylinder release it without re-plumbing.
A rear-rod sensor flag tracks carton position on a bottling conveyor while the front rod pushes off-cuts sideways at 30-500 mm/s inside a tight guard.
Pressing caps onto 70 kg test vessels in a quality lab: the symmetric through-rod keeps the platen square, and the compact body fits under a bench-top frame.
At 63 mm bore this sits mid-range: the 50 mm ACED gives 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 80 mm bore takes you to 2356.2 N. If your part weighs near 74 kg or less, the ACED63X15 has margin; above that, go 80 mm. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost - for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. FA/FB flanges, LB feet, CA clevis and I/Y rod knuckles bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the 1/8" port keeps plumbing simple.
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, 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, and the 1/8" port suits the 63 mm bore.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA clevis options plus I/Y rod knuckles. Position sensing requires the optional -S magnet code - order ACED63X15S and CMSE / DMSE switches will work; without -S no magnet is fitted. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy.
