The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X250S 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 ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACED63X250S delivers the same 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa (2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa) on every stroke, since both sides work on the rod-side area. The 63 mm bore drives a 16 mm through-rod over a 250 mm stroke at 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end to soften the stops.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into long-travel gantries and conveyor pushers where space is tight. This -S version carries the magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke signalling. At 0.5 MPa the thrust equates to roughly 148 kgf, so plan on lifting about 74 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

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).
| ACED | ISO 21287 compact cylinder (double-rod). |
|---|---|
| 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 250 mm stroke sweeps cartons across a belt line, and equal 1458.1 N force in both directions means the return stroke pushes just as hard as the extend.
The rear rod carries a sensor flag while the front rod does the work, and the fitted magnet feeds CMSE / DMSE switches for position feedback along the full travel.
With about 74 kg of vertical lift capability at a 2:1 margin, the 63 mm bore presses strapping buckles or holds pallet corner boards during wrap.
At 1458.1 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 63 mm bore sits between the 50 mm (881.2 N) and 80 mm (2356.2 N) options - step down for lighter palletizing duty, up for heavy clamping. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), ports are 1/8" PT, and the rod end carries a female M10x1.5 thread. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder will drift if air is lost; add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay put. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design puts a piston rod through both covers, so every stroke uses the rod-side area. Force is 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, with a maximum of 297.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed is 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, freeing space in sliding guards and tight gantries. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches mount directly on the body slots for stroke-end detection. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs the end-of-stroke shock, and FA/FB flange or LB foot brackets attach to the standard ISO 21287 face.
