The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X150S 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.
A double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a through rod, the ACED63X150S pushes 1458.1 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa because both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 63 mm bore. The 16 mm rod exits both covers, so the piston resists rotation and light side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate. At 0.7 MPa the same cylinder delivers 2041.3 N either way.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters inside pick-and-place gantries and machine guards where every millimetre of envelope counts. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a fixed TPU bumper at each end, and the S45C hard-chrome rod runs at 30-500 mm/s between 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). As an S-code model the magnet is already fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots. Working from the 1458.1 N figure, expect roughly 875 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 74 kg 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. |
| ×150 | 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 through rod carries a tooling plate on both ends of a Z-axis gantry, lifting about 74 kg of parts per cycle with equal force up and down at 0.5 MPa.
1458.1 N in each direction seats bushings into aluminium housings on an assembly line, with the rear rod driving a part-eject pin on the return stroke.
The fitted magnet lets CMSE or DMSE switches confirm full extension and retraction of a 150 mm transfer slide on an automated packaging machine.
Size between the ACED50X150S at 881.2 N and the ACED80X150S at 2356.2 N, both at 0.5 MPa; the 63 mm bore sits squarely in the middle for medium clamping and transfer duty. Note that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the 150 mm stroke must hold a position. Mount on FA/FB flanges, LB feet or FTC brackets with I or Y rod knuckles, and the 150 mm stroke sits well inside the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore.
Quick checklist
Output is equal both ways because a rod exits each cover and both strokes use the rod-side area: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa, with a peak of 297.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, air filtered to 40 um, speed 30-500 mm/s and -20 to +70 C.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits tight guards and gantries. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. The S code means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE switches mount in the body slots, and FA/FB flanges, LB feet, FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt to the standard ISO 21287 face.
