The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X15S 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 ACED63X15S is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the ISO 21287 short-body format. A 16 mm rod exits both covers, so output force is equal in both directions: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa, either way. The through-rod resists rotation and light side load, and the rear rod end can carry a sensor flag or a second tool. At 0.5 MPa that force lifts about 148 kg vertically, or roughly 74 kg with a 2:1 margin - enough to match a real part weight before you buy.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome-plated rod runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, -20 to +70 C. Its short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and gantries. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be mounted for end-of-stroke detection, and a fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends.

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 15 mm stroke with 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa both ways suits pressing bearings or bushings into small housings on an assembly bench, with the TPU bumper absorbing the end-of-stroke shock.
The fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches so a PLC can confirm both stroke ends, while the rear rod carries a flag - useful in electronics assembly gantries where space is tight.
Equal force in both directions lets one cylinder raise and lower a forming mandrel in a packaging machine, lifting roughly 74 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin at 0.5 MPa.
For a 15 mm stroke doing around 875 N of real work at 0.5 MPa (about 0.6 of the rating), the 63 mm bore is well matched; 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) for heavier presses. The through-rod gives a symmetric mount and the rear rod can drive a flag for position sensing. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must be held. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face, and I/Y rod knuckles suit the 16 mm rod.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both strokes, 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, air filtered to 40 um, -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 shallow jigs and guards. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed / solid-state switches clamp into the body slots for end-of-stroke detection. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets mount on the standard face; the rod end is female M10x1.5 with a 1/8" port.
