About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X160S
The ACED63X160S is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 63 mm bore with a 160 mm stroke and a 16 mm rod leaving both covers, so thrust is identical on the out-stroke and the return - 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa either way. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the free back-end rod is a handy place to carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome-plated rod runs at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight gantries and guarding. At 0.5 MPa, plan on roughly 875 N of usable work force; that is a vertical lift of about 74 kg with a 2:1 margin. This -S model carries the optional magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be fitted for end-of-stroke signalling.

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 ACED63X160S Is Used
Vertical lift on palletizing cells
The through-rod gives a symmetric mount and about 74 kg of vertical lift capacity with a 2:1 margin at 0.5 MPa, ideal for raising palletized cartons between conveyor levels.
Push-pull transfer on machining lines
Equal 1458.1 N force in both directions makes the ACED63X160S a natural fit for reciprocating fixtures that eject and retract machined housings at the same thrust.
Position feedback on assembly gantries
With the -S magnet already fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches read both end positions on automated gantries where the short ISO 21287 body fits inside tight guarding.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X160S the Right Cylinder?
At 1458.1 N per direction, the 63 mm bore 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, up for heavy lifting. The 160 mm stroke is within the 250 mm standard range for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. Pick FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles to bolt straight onto the ISO 21287 face. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost; add a rod lock or pilot check where a load must stay put.
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 ACED63X160S FAQ
Yes - because a 16 mm rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area. Force is 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa in each 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, air filtered to 40 um, temperature -20 to +70 C.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets bolt straight to its face. The S in ACED63X160S means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted in the body slots. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and the female M10x1.5 rod thread with 1/8" PT ports keeps tooling simple.
