Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X160
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X160 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 160mm 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.

About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X160
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED63X160 pushes a 63 mm piston through a 160 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers. Because each side sees the rod-side area, output is identical in both directions: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight gantries and fixture plates. In practice, plan on roughly 875 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which corresponds to lifting about 74 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, and the hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod stands up to long duty cycles.

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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø63mm)
| 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).

Where the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X160 Is Used
Reciprocating pick-and-place
The through-rod gives a symmetric mount on both faces of a palletizing gantry, and the 1458.1 N bidirectional force retracts loaded tooling as firmly as it extends it over the 160 mm stroke.
Clamping a welding fixture
Two rods mean a rear rod can drive a counter-clamp while the front clamps the weldment, with about 875 N of practical holding force per side at 0.5 MPa on a steel bracket jig.
Pusher on a bottling line
Equal force both ways keeps lane-diverter pushers consistent in each direction at 30-500 mm/s, and the short body fits under low conveyor guard rails where a full-length cylinder will not.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X160 the Right Cylinder?
At 63 mm bore this unit delivers 1458.1 N both ways at 0.5 MPa. If your load needs under 881 N, the ACED50 saves space; if you need over 2356 N, step up to the ACED80. The 160 mm stroke sits well inside the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so no made-to-order build is required.
This version has a female M10x1.5 rod thread and a 1/8" PT port. Bolt on FA/FB flanges, LB feet or FTC brackets, or I/Y rod knuckles. Note that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. The optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches; without it no sensor can be fitted.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Short stroke fits the compact body
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Add -S if you need the magnet for sensors
- ✓ Rod type (female / male B) & mount (FA/LB/CA)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Compact body: keep the stroke short and avoid side load on the rod.
- check Do not dismantle the threaded front/back covers.
- check Keep speed within the rated range; the TPU bumper absorbs stroke-end energy.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X160 FAQ
Yes. Because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area, so output is equal both ways: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa, peaking at about 297.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end to absorb end-of-stroke energy. Position sensing requires the optional -S magnet version, which accepts CMSE / DMSE switches; this model without the S code carries no magnet, so no switch can be mounted.
