Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X160SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X160SB 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 ACED63X160SB
The ACED63X160SB is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the ISO 21287 short-body format. A 16 mm hardened rod exits BOTH covers, so thrust is identical on each stroke: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa, with a peak of 297.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because the body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, this 160 mm stroke unit slots into presses, lifters and transfer fixtures where a full-length body simply will not fit.
The through-rod does more than double the mounting faces: it resists piston rotation, tolerates modest side load, and lets the rear rod carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped onto the body slots for end-of-stroke detection. Male rod thread (B code) and PT ports, a fixed TPU bumper at each end, a hard-anodized aluminium barrel and an S45C hard-chrome rod round out the build. As a planning figure, treat about 875 N (roughly 89 kg) as the usable working thrust at 0.5 MPa, which corresponds to lifting about 74 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

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 ACED63X160SB Is Used
Pallet straddle lift heads
The symmetric through-rod lifts a fork-style frame evenly from both sides, and 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa handles pallet loads up to roughly 74 kg with a 2:1 vertical margin.
Bidirectional push station on a packaging line
Equal force in both strokes (2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa each way) lets one cylinder eject cartons left or right from a conveyor lane without recalculating push versus pull.
Gantry Z-axis with position feedback
The fitted -S magnet plus CMSE / DMSE switches gives end-of-stroke signals on the short ISO 21287 body, while the rear rod can drive an external position flag.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X160SB the Right Cylinder?
At 1458.1 N per direction, the 63 mm bore sits between the 50 mm class (881.2 N) and the 80 mm class (2356.2 N) at 0.5 MPa - step down for lighter clamping, step up for heavy lift-and-locate work. The 160 mm stroke is within the 250 mm standard range for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. 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. Mount with FA/FB flanges, LB feet or FTC brackets, and pair I or Y knuckles with the male rod thread. If you did not order the -S code, the body has no magnet and switches will not trigger.
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 ACED63X160SB FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both strokes, so force is identical either way: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa, peaking at 297.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um.
It is an ISO 21287 short-body cylinder - about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder - with a hard-anodized aluminium barrel, S45C hard-chrome rod and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends. This model includes the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots; models ordered without the S code carry no magnet.
