The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X25S is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 25mm 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 ACED63X25S pushes a 63 mm bore through a 25 mm stroke with a rod leaving BOTH covers, so the force is identical on each stroke: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa, taken from the rod-side area. The S in the code means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped onto the body slots for end-of-stroke signalling straight away.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight welding fixtures and packaging gantries. A hard-anodized aluminium barrel carries an S45C hard-chrome rod, fixed TPU bumpers absorb the end-of-stroke shock at both covers, and the through-rod resists rotation so a sensor flag can ride on the rear rod. At 0.5 MPa the rod-side thrust of 1458.1 N works out to roughly 148 kg of pull, so halving for a 2:1 margin lets it lift about 74 kg vertically with confidence.

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 force on both strokes lets one cylinder clamp from either side of a car-body weld jig, keeping clamp pressure identical regardless of approach direction.
A 25 mm stroke is ideal for kicking misaligned cartons off a packaging conveyor; the rear rod can carry a position flag read by CMSE switches for verification.
Driving a light slide back and forth at 30-500 mm/s, the through-rod resists rotation so the tool plate stays square without external guides.
At 63 mm bore this sits in the mid-heavy class: step down to a 50 mm bore for 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa, or up to an 80 mm bore for 2356.2 N if the clamp needs more muscle. The 25 mm stroke is well inside the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a catalogue item. Because it is a plain double-rod cylinder, the piston will drift if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay held. Mount it with FA/FB flanges, LB feet or FTC brackets, and note the female M10x1.5 rod thread on both ends.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area, so output is equal each way: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa, with a peak of 297.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
The S means the optional magnet is fitted on this model, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted in the body slots for position sensing. The ISO 21287 compact body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, uses a hard-anodized aluminium barrel with an S45C hard-chrome rod, and carries fixed TPU bumpers at both ends. Air supply should be filtered to 40 um, working from -20 to +70 C.
