The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X25SB 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 ACED63X25SB pushes a 63 mm piston through a 25 mm stroke with a rod leaving BOTH covers. Because each side of the piston sees the rod-side area, output is identical in either direction: 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. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod gives you a free mounting point for a sensor flag.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight clamping stations and gantries. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod, fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke shock at both covers, and this -S model carries the optional magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be fitted for position feedback. As a sizing rule of thumb, keep real work to roughly 875 N (0.6 of the 0.5 MPa rating); vertically that is about 74 kg with a 2:1 margin. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-500 mm/s.

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 lets a weld jig clamp from the front while the rear rod drives a position flag, with 1458.1 N holding force identical from either side at 0.5 MPa.
A 25 mm stroke is enough to square pallets on AGV forks; the double rod resists the side load of off-center pallet contact without a separate guide.
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE / DMSE switches confirm extend and retract on a camera-inspection pusher running at 30-500 mm/s.
At 25 mm stroke this bore suits short-jaw clamping, press-checking and part-presenting where 1458.1 N per direction is enough. Step down to the 50 mm bore (881.2 N at 0.5 MPa) for lighter fixtures, or up to 80 mm (2356.2 N) when the load grows. The male B rod thread bolts straight to your tooling; FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets mount on the ISO 21287 face. Note that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. If you need longer travel, bore 63 accepts standard strokes up to 250 mm.
Quick checklist
Yes - it is a double-rod cylinder, so a rod exits both covers and both strokes use the rod-side area. Output is 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa in EITHER direction, peaking at 297.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end.
The S means this unit carries the optional magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped onto the body slots for end-of-stroke or mid-stroke sensing. The ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a hard-anodized aluminium barrel, S45C hard-chrome rod, 1/8" ports and a male rod thread (B code).
