The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X225SB 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.
The ACED63X225SB is a double acting, double-rod ISO 21287 compact cylinder: a 16 mm rod exits both covers, so thrust is identical on every stroke because both sides work on the rod-side area. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 1458.1 N in either direction, rising to 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa, with a peak of 297.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The male rod thread (B code) suits external nuts and clevises, and the fitted -S magnet lets CMSE / DMSE switches report piston position.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so a 225 mm stroke fits gantries and guarding 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. In practice, plan on roughly 875 N (about 89 kgf) of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which is a vertical lift of around 74 kg with a 2:1 margin. Fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke shock at both covers, and the hard-anodized aluminium body with S45C hard-chrome rod runs 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).

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 equal 1458.1 N thrust in both directions gives identical push and return force on a pallet transfer slide, so cycle timing stays the same loaded or empty.
A rod at each cover lets one cylinder clamp a bracket on the front rod while the rear rod carries a position flag for the PLC, all inside a body about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
With about 74 kg of vertical lift at a 2:1 margin, the through-rod guides a forklift battery roller deck symmetrically without a separate guide column.
Step down to an ACED50 (881.2 N at 0.5 MPa) when the load is lighter, or step up to an ACED80 (2356.2 N) for heavier tooling; the 63 mm bore sits in the middle with 1458.1 N both ways. At 225 mm the stroke is within the 250 mm standard range for this bore, so no made-to-order length is needed. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt to the ISO 21287 face. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both strokes, so output is equal 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. The 16 mm rod exits both covers, the port is 1/8" PT, and the male rod thread (B code) takes external nuts. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 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, freeing space in tight gantries and guards. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots for end-of-stroke or mid-stroke signals. Fixed TPU bumpers at both covers absorb end-of-stroke energy, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC mounting bolts straight to the standard face.
