The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X30B 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.
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED63X30B pushes a 16 mm hard-chrome rod out of BOTH covers, so thrust is identical on every stroke: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa, whichever way the piston travels. The 63 mm bore runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof rating and speeds of 30-500 mm/s.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight clamping fixtures and gantry frames. At 0.5 MPa the usable working thrust is roughly 875 N, which lifts about 74 kg vertically - or about 37 kg with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, the hard-anodized aluminium body carries magnet slots, and the male rod thread (B code) bolts straight to your tooling. Add the optional -S code if you later want CMSE / DMSE switch sensing.

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).

| ×30 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSE / DMSE sensors (omit for no magnet). |

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 thrust on both strokes lets one cylinder clamp a gearbox housing from either side of a machining jig without recalibrating pressure per direction.
A rod on each cover lets the back-end rod carry a sensor flag or guide pin while the front rod pushes cartons across a transfer table at 30-500 mm/s.
With about 74 kg of vertical lift equivalent at 0.5 MPa, the 63 mm bore raises die-cast brackets in an automotive cell; pair it with a pilot check for hold-on-power-loss.
Size up or down from this 63 mm bore: a 50 mm ACED gives 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa, while an 80 mm ACED reaches 2356.2 N - pick the 63 when you need roughly 1458 N per side in a short envelope. The 30 mm stroke is well inside the 250 mm standard range for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. Remember the through-rod cannot hold position if air is lost; for a suspended load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. Mount with FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets, and order the -S suffix only if CMSE / DMSE position switches are planned.
Quick checklist
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal in both directions: 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 range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 1/8" port suits the 63 mm bore. In practice plan on roughly 875 N of usable thrust at 0.5 MPa, about 74 kg of vertical lift.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome-plated rod and a fixed TPU bumper at each end that only decelerates the piston at stroke ends. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets bolt to the standard face. Sensing needs the optional -S magnet code - without it no CMSE or DMSE switch can be mounted.
