The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X30 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 30mm 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 ACED63X30 is a double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, with a piston rod leaving BOTH covers so the 63 mm bore delivers 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa in either direction - both strokes work on the rod-side area, so push and pull are always equal. The 16 mm through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag on gantry axes. 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 to absorb end-of-stroke shock.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight welding fixtures and machine guards where a full-length body will not reach. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a roller-burnished bore, and the S45C hard-chrome plated rod stands up to high-cycle pallet clamping. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets bolt straight to the standard face. Note that without air the piston drifts - for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check valve.

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. |
| ×30 | 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 equal 1458.1 N push and pull at 0.5 MPa lets one ACED63X30 both clamp and retract a steel locating nest in a machining cell without a return spring or unequal force sizing.
A through-rod at each cover drives a slide between hard stops on a small-parts conveyor, the rear rod carrying a flag for a switch when the -S magnet option is ordered.
The 30 mm stroke kicks cartons off a cross conveyor at up to 500 mm/s, and the short body fits inside the guard where an ISO 15552 profile cylinder is too long.
At 0.5 MPa this bore gives 1458.1 N either way; if your jig needs less, the ACED50 delivers 881.2 N, and if you need more the ACED80 reaches 2356.2 N. Plan on roughly 875 N (about 89 kg of thrust) for real work rather than the full rating, and remember the load will drift if air is lost - spec a rod lock where position must hold. Order the -S code if you want the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches; without it no sensor can be fitted. Female M10x1.5 rod thread, 1/8" PT ports, standard strokes to 250 mm for this bore.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area, so output is equal both ways: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 297.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
It is an ISO 21287 compact body about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC bracket options on the standard face. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. Position is not held when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check for a suspended load. The magnet is the optional -S code; only with it can CMSE / DMSE switches be used.
