The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X150 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 150mm 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 ACED63X150 is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the ISO 21287 short-body format: a 63 mm bore with a 16 mm rod leaving BOTH covers, so the through-rod sees the rod-side area on every stroke and delivers an equal 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa in each direction. Its hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it drops into tight gantries and slide assemblies a full-length body cannot fit.
In service terms the 1458.1 N rating at 0.5 MPa works out to roughly 875 N of practical working force when you keep a 40% margin, and the same figure corresponds to lifting about 74 kg vertically even after halving for a 2:1 safety factor. The S45C hard-chrome-plated rod, grease-retaining two-way piston seal and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends keep it running at 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um, across 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and -20 to +70 C. Position sensing is not fitted on this code: add the optional -S magnet if you want CMSE / DMSE switches.

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.

| 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).

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.
A through-rod slide on an electronics assembly line: the back rod carries the tooling plate while the front rod drives a fixture, both ends pushing a matched 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa so the stroke profile stays identical in each direction.
Clamping aluminium extrusions from two sides of a welding jig: the 63 mm double rod applies equal force to both workpiece faces, and the short ISO 21287 body fits between the jig rails where a longer cylinder would foul.
A pallet-stacking assist arm needs the same push and pull force to raise and lower a 70 kg carriage; the rod-side area on both strokes gives symmetric force, with a pilot check valve added because the cylinder alone will not hold position.
At 63 mm bore this sits in the mid-heavy class: step down to the 50 mm bore (881.2 N at 0.5 MPa) for lighter clamping, or up to the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa) when the 150 mm stroke must move a heavier slide. The 150 mm stroke is well inside the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a catalogue item. Remember the piston will drift if air is lost, so pair it with a rod lock or pilot check valve for held loads. Mount it on the ISO 21287 face with FA/FB flanges, LB feet or FTC brackets, and order the -S code if your control loop needs CMSE / DMSE switch feedback.
Quick checklist
No, the two are identical. Because a 16 mm rod exits both covers, every stroke works on the rod-side area of the 63 mm piston: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa, equal in both directions. At the full 1.0 MPa rating the cylinder reaches a maximum of 297.4 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed range is 30-500 mm/s.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder: hard-anodized aluminium body with roller-burnished bore, S45C hard-chrome rod through both covers, threaded aluminium covers, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end that absorbs end-of-stroke energy. Air ports are 1/8" PT, the female rod thread is M10x1.5, and mounting brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face. Switches are possible only with the optional -S magnet code, which enables CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state sensors; without -S there is no magnet in the piston.
