The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X15SB 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.
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED63X15SB pushes a 16 mm hard-chromed rod out of BOTH covers, so thrust is identical on the extend and return strokes: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa either way. The male rod thread (B code) bolts straight to tooling, and the through-rod resists rotation and side load while the rear rod can carry a sensor flag.
The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight welding fixtures and press gantries. The hard-anodized aluminium body with a roller-burnished bore runs at 30-500 mm/s on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air filtered to 40 um, with fixed TPU bumpers absorbing end-of-stroke shock at both ends. Because the -S magnet is fitted on this model, CMSE or DMSE switches can be clipped onto the body slots for end-position sensing. At 0.5 MPa the rod-side area equates to roughly 148 kg of thrust, so plan on about 89 kg of real work once a 0.6 margin is applied - enough to index a 60-70 kg pallet or clamp a heavy weldment.

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).

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 symmetric 1458.1 N clamp force in both directions lets one ACED63X15SB hold a steel weldment from either side of a robotic welding jig, with the rear rod driving a position flag.
A 15 mm stroke is ideal for short stopper-bar lifts; the through-rod keeps the stopper bar square under the roughly 148 kg thrust available at 0.5 MPa.
In electronics assembly, the back-end rod ejects a finished connector housing while the front rod retracts the nest, both strokes delivering equal 2041.3 N force at 0.7 MPa.
At 63 mm bore this model delivers 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa in both directions; step down to a 50 mm bore (881.2 N) for lighter clamping or up to an 80 mm bore (2356.2 N) for heavy press work. The 15 mm stroke suits short-tramp positioning and is well inside the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and I/Y rod knuckles suit the male thread; PT ports are standard, or order the G version.
Quick checklist
Yes - this is a double-rod cylinder, so a 16 mm rod exits both covers and both strokes use the rod-side area. Output is 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa in EITHER direction, 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, temperature -20 to +70 C.
It follows ISO 21287, the short-stroke compact standard, so it needs about 50% less mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder of the same bore. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries magnet slots, and this -S model includes the magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly for end-position signals. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets bolt to the standard face, and the male rod thread accepts I or Y knuckles. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke impact; it does not lock or hold a load.
