The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X30S 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 ACED63X30S is a double acting, double rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 63 mm bore with a 16 mm rod leaving both covers, so the force is identical on the extend and return stroke - 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa either way. Because the body is roughly 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it slots into tight press fixtures and gantry frames where a full-length body cannot fit.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag on a clamping station. This S-coded model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be fitted for end-of-stroke signalling. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, the hard-anodized aluminium body runs on a hard-chrome S45C rod, and the practical vertical lift is about 74 kg with a 2:1 margin (148 kgf theoretical at 0.5 MPa).

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 symmetric 1458.1 N thrust at 0.5 MPa seats automotive bushings in housings on both the press and retract stroke, with the 30 mm stroke matching shallow press depth.
A rod at each cover clamps a machined aluminium bracket from two sides in one body, and the fitted magnet with CMSE switches confirms clamp position to the PLC.
Equal force both ways drives a conveyor stopper slide back and forth at 30-500 mm/s, with the through-rod resisting the rotation a single-rod layout would introduce.
At 1458.1 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, the 63 mm bore suits clamping and pressing work in the 800-900 N range once you allow margin; step down to the 50 mm bore (881.2 N) for lighter jigs or up to the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N) for heavier presses. Stroke 30 mm sits well inside the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a standard build. Ports are 1/8" and the female rod thread is M10x1.5. Remember that a plain double rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. FA/FB flanges, LB feet, FTC brackets and I/Y rod knuckles bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double rod means both strokes use the rod-side area, so force is equal extending and returning: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa, 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, air filtered to 40 um, temperature -20 to +70 C.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow fixtures, and FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis and FTC brackets mount on the standard face. The S in ACED63X30S means the optional -S magnet is fitted, enabling CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches in the body slots; models ordered without -S carry no magnet. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy.
