About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X40
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED63X40 pushes a 63 mm piston through a 40 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers, so thrust is identical on every stroke: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa. Because both sides see the rod-side area, you never have to derate for the return direction. The through-rod also resists rotation and modest side load, and its rear end is a handy place to carry 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 gantries and fixture plates. A hard-anodized aluminium body runs against an S45C hard-chrome rod, fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke shock at both covers, and speed spans 30-500 mm/s. In practical terms the 1458.1 N rating translates to roughly 874 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, or a vertical lift of about 74 kg with a 2:1 margin. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), fluid air filtered to 40 um, temperature -20 to +70 C.

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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø63mm)
| 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).

Where the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X40 Is Used
Reciprocating transfer shuttle
The 40 mm stroke shuttles aluminium extrusion blanks between two conveyor lanes, with 1458.1 N available on the push and the pull alike because the rod-side area works both ways.
Press-feed lift table
A stamping-cell lift raises about 74 kg of fixture and part vertically with a 2:1 margin at 0.5 MPa, the through-rod keeping the plate level and rotation-free.
Twin-sided CNC clamp fixture
The rear rod clamps while the front rod positions a housing on a machining fixture, both actions delivering 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa from one compact 63 mm body.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X40 the Right Cylinder?
At 1458.1 N per direction, bore 63 sits between the 50 mm frame (881.2 N at 0.5 MPa) and the 80 mm frame (2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa); step up to 80 only if your part weight or clamping demand exceeds about 874 N of usable force. The 40 mm stroke is well inside the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a catalog item. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. Mounting bolts straight to the ISO 21287 face: FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets, with I and Y rod knuckles on the twin rods. This version has no magnet; order the -S code if you want CMSE / DMSE switch positions, and specify the female M10x1.5 rod thread (a B code gives male thread) with PT ports.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Short stroke fits the compact body
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Add -S if you need the magnet for sensors
- ✓ Rod type (female / male B) & mount (FA/LB/CA)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Compact body: keep the stroke short and avoid side load on the rod.
- check Do not dismantle the threaded front/back covers.
- check Keep speed within the rated range; the TPU bumper absorbs stroke-end energy.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X40 FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design puts a 16 mm rod through both covers, so every stroke uses the rod-side area of the 63 mm piston. Output is 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, equal push and pull, with a peak 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, port 1/8" PT, female rod thread M10x1.5.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with fixed TPU bumpers at both ends to soften the stroke ends. Switches are not fitted as standard: order the optional -S magnet version and CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches will ride the body slots. FA/FB flanges, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt straight to the standard face.
