The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X225B is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 225mm 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 ACED63X225B pushes a 16 mm rod out of BOTH covers, so the 63 mm bore delivers an identical 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa on every stroke - the rod-side area is the working area on both sides. At 0.7 MPa that rises to 2041.3 N each way, with a peak of 297.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The male rod thread (B code) on each end bolts straight to your tooling.
The short ISO 21287 body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why this bore class fits tight gantries and slide assemblies. Practical sizing: keep real work near 875 N (about 0.6 of the 0.5 MPa rating), which corresponds to lifting roughly 74 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, the hard-anodized aluminium body runs on a hard-chrome S45C rod at 30-500 mm/s, and the through-rod resists rotation and side load while giving a symmetric mount. No magnet is fitted on this code - order the -S variant 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.
| 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).

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.
The through-rod drives a carriage between two fixed tool plates on a bottling-line transfer unit; identical 1458.1 N thrust each way means one valve setting works for extend and retract over the 225 mm travel.
On a CNC machining cell fixture, the rear rod carries a workpiece rest while the front rod clamps, letting one 63 mm cylinder do two jobs inside the short ISO 21287 body length.
A warehouse pallet-handling attachment uses the 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa to square loads against a stop; the male rod thread (B code) accepts a custom pusher pad directly.
At 1458.1 N per direction this sits above the 50 mm bore (881.2 N) and below the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N) at 0.5 MPa - choose down if your load is under 900 N, up if you need over 1500 N. The 225 mm stroke is within the 250 mm standard range for bore 63, so no made-to-order surcharge applies. Remember the piston 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 mount on the standard ISO 21287 face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE position switches.
Quick checklist
Yes - it is a double-rod cylinder, so force is equal both ways because both strokes use the rod-side area of the 63 mm bore: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa, 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 297.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, air filtered to 40 um, speed 30-500 mm/s, 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 and FTC brackets bolt to the standard face. This code has no magnet; order the -S version to run CMSE or DMSE switches in the body slots. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and the male rod thread on both ends suits custom tooling.
