The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X20SB is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 20mm 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.
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED63X20SB pushes a 63 mm bore through a short 20 mm stroke with a rod leaving BOTH covers. Because each side works on 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, equal push and pull. The male rod thread (B code) and 1/8" PT ports make plumbing and tooling swaps straightforward.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod shrinks the mounting length to roughly half that of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures. Plan real work at about 875 N (0.6 of the 0.5 MPa rating), which is a vertical lift of roughly 89 kg - or about 44 kg with a 2:1 margin. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag; the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches.

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.
| 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).

|---|---|
| 63 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×20 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSE / DMSE sensors (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
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.
A 20 mm stroke is ideal for pressing caps onto 500 ml beverage bottles; 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa seats caps without crushing, and equal force both ways retracts the head at the same rate.
The double rod gives a symmetric mount that resists rotation on a horizontal transfer slide, with the rear rod carrying a flag for a DMSE switch to confirm end positions.
Compact 63 mm body fits inside a bench-top enclosure where a full-length ISO 15552 profile cylinder would not; about 44 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin covers typical sample tooling.
Size check: the 50 mm ACED gives 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa, while the 80 mm ACED steps up to 2356.2 N - pick the 63 mm when 1458.1 N both ways matches your clamp or press load. Stroke 20 mm sits well inside the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. Note that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost; add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt to the standard ISO 21287 face.
Quick checklist
Output is equal in both directions because a rod exits each cover and both strokes use the rod-side area: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa, 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.
The ISO 21287 compact body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, freeing space in guarded machines and tight jigs. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped onto the body slots for position feedback.
