The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X250 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 250mm 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 ACED63X250 pushes a 63 mm piston through a 250 mm stroke with a rod leaving BOTH covers, so thrust is identical on the extend and retract strokes: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod end can carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed range 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with a hard-chrome plated S45C rod runs on air filtered to 40 um and survives -20 to +70 C. Its short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight gantries and guarding. Plan on roughly 875 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which is about 74 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Note that position is not held if air is lost; add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load.

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. |
| ×250 | 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.
The through-rod gives a symmetric mount on both faces of a pick-and-place arm, with equal 1458.1 N thrust on extend and retract so cycle timing stays identical in both directions over the full 250 mm travel.
About 74 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin lets this bore seat cartons or totes on a packaging line, while the fixed TPU bumpers absorb the end-of-stroke impact at 30-500 mm/s.
The rear rod can carry a cam or flag to trip a limit switch on a rotary indexing table, and the short ISO 21287 body fits inside the guarding where a full-length profile cylinder will not.
At 1458.1 N per direction, the 63 mm bore sits between the 50 mm bore (881.2 N) and the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N) at 0.5 MPa, so step up to 80 mm if your press or lift needs more margin, or down to 50 mm for lighter clamping. The 250 mm stroke is the maximum standard stroke for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. Mounting brackets FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC, plus I and Y rod knuckles, bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face. This code has no magnet; order the -S variant if you want CMSE / DMSE switch detection.
Quick checklist
Yes. Because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area of the 63 mm piston: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa, equal on extend and retract. At 1.0 MPa the peak output is 297.4 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure.
It is a short ISO 21287 compact cylinder, about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a hard-anodized aluminium body and a 16 mm hard-chrome rod ending in an M10x1.5 female thread; air ports are 1/8" PT. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. Position sensing requires the optional -S magnet code, which enables CMSE / DMSE switches; this non-S code has no magnet fitted. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I/Y knuckles mount on the standard face.
