The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X175 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 175mm 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.
The ACED63X175 is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 63 mm bore with a 16 mm rod exiting BOTH covers, so the output force is equal in both directions because each stroke works on the rod-side area. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 1458.1 N either way, rising to 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa. The hard-anodized aluminium body with S45C hard-chrome plated rod runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, from -20 to +70 C.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why this 175 mm stroke fits tight gantries and guarded stations where a full-length body will not. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. In practice, keep real work to about 875 N (0.6 of the 0.5 MPa rating), which means this bore lifts roughly 74 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face.

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.
With 1458.1 N available in both directions, the through-rod lifts and lowers a 60 kg pallet fixture on a pick-and-place gantry, the symmetric rod keeping the load level without a guide plate.
At 0.7 MPa the 2041.3 N rod-side force presses finished extrusions off a forming die; the 175 mm stroke clears the die set for loading and the TPU bumpers tame the return.
On a bottling line, the rear rod carries a flag for switch position feedback when the -S magnet is ordered, letting CMSE switches track capper height changes at 30-500 mm/s.
Size by force: the 50 mm bore gives 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to 80 mm reaches 2356.2 N, so 63 mm at 1458.1 N sits in the middle for medium clamping and lift duties. The 175 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 - for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check. If you need CMSE or DMSE switches, order the -S code; without it there is no magnet and no sensing. Female M10x1.5 rod thread and 1/8" ports come as standard.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area, so force is equal both ways: 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 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, so it slots into tight machine frames. Sensing is optional: order the -S code to get the magnet for CMSE or DMSE switches - without -S there is no magnet. Mounting uses FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles, and a fixed TPU bumper sits at each end of the 175 mm stroke.
