Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X160B
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X160B 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 ACED63X160B
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED63X160B pushes a 63 mm bore through a 160 mm stroke with a rod leaving BOTH covers. Because each side of the piston sees the rod-side area, output is identical in either direction: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa. The through-rod also resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod stub can carry a sensor flag on a fixture.
The short hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight gantries and guarding. In practice, plan on roughly 875 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa (about 60% of the rating), which vertically lifts around 74 kg with a 2:1 margin - enough for a loaded pallet clamp or a die cart pusher. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, and the male rod thread (B code) bolts straight to your tooling.

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 ACED63X160B Is Used
Pallet-stacker clamp arm
The symmetric 1458.1 N grip in both directions clamps and releases stacked pallets on a warehouse transfer cart, with the 160 mm stroke clearing a 300 mm load envelope in a short body.
Bench-top crimping press
A wire-harness shop uses the through-rod to drive a crimp die downward while the rear rod carries a flag past a position bracket, all inside a guard sized for the compact ISO 21287 frame.
Bottling-line pusher gate
On a beverage filler, the equal-force double rod swings a reject gate at 30-500 mm/s, and the male B-thread rod knuckle bolts directly to the gate arm.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X160B the Right Cylinder?
At 63 mm bore this model sits between the 50 mm bore (881.2 N at 0.5 MPa) and the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa); step down for lighter clamping or up when 1458.1 N is marginal. The 160 mm stroke is within the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. Note that with no air applied the piston is free to drift - for a held vertical load, pair it with a rod lock or pilot check valve. FA/FB flanges, LB feet, CA clevis and FTC brackets mount on the ISO 21287 face, and I/Y rod knuckles suit the male thread. If you need position sensing, order the -S variant; without that code no magnet is fitted and CMSE / DMSE switches cannot be used.
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 ACED63X160B FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal in both directions (rod-side area): 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 297.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed range 30-500 mm/s, and the 160 mm stroke is inside the 250 mm standard maximum for the 63 mm bore.
The hard-anodized aluminium ISO 21287 body is about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow machine frames. The B code gives a male 16 mm rod thread for direct tooling attachment, FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets bolt to the standard face, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end softens end-of-stroke impact. Position sensing requires the optional -S magnet order; this non-S unit has no magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches will not trigger on it.
