About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X20B
The ACED63X20B is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the ISO 21287 short-body format. A 16 mm rod exits BOTH covers, so the working area is the rod-side area on every stroke and output force is identical in each direction: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa. The male rod thread (B code) bolts straight to tooling, and the through-rod resists rotation and side load while the rear rod can carry a sensor flag on a gantry.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated rod runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), -20 to +70 C, 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight guards and fixtures. Plan on roughly 875 N (about 89 kgf) of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 74 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. No magnet is fitted; order the optional -S code if you need CMSE / DMSE switch sensing.

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 ACED63X20B Is Used
Packaging carton ejector
The 20 mm stroke kicks formed cartons off a conveyor lane at up to 500 mm/s, with 1458.1 N available in whichever direction the lane runs thanks to the symmetric double rod.
CNC fixture clamping
Male rod thread M10x1.5 mounts a clamp arm directly; about 875 N of practical holding force at 0.5 MPa secures aluminium blanks on a machining table.
Synchronized lift posts
Two units paired rod-to-rod give a balanced 74 kg vertical lift capability per cylinder at a 2:1 margin, and the through-rod keeps the carriage from rotating.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X20B the Right Cylinder?
At 1458.1 N per direction this 63 mm bore sits between the 50 mm size (881.2 N) and the 80 mm size (2356.2 N) at 0.5 MPa, so choose it when a 50 mm unit is under-rated but an 80 mm body will not fit the envelope. The 20 mm stroke is well inside the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a standard build. If the load must stay put when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check valve - the piston will drift on its own.
Mounting hardware for the ISO 21287 face includes FA/FB flanges, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I and Y rod knuckles. Specify the -S option only when CMSE / DMSE switches are actually needed; without it there is no magnet in the piston.
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 ACED63X20B FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area and force is equal each way: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa, equal to about 148.6 kgf at the 1.0 MPa maximum. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure.
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 and FA/FB, LB, FTC or I/Y mounting options. Sensing requires the optional -S magnet code; this model has no magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches only work when -S is ordered.
