About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X40B
A double acting compact actuator built to ISO 21287, the ACED63X40B pushes a 63 mm bore through a 40 mm stroke with a 16 mm rod leaving BOTH covers. Because each side of the piston sees the rod-side area, output is identical either way: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa. The male rod thread (B code) bolts straight to tooling, and the through-rod resists rotation and side load while the rear rod can 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 fixtures. A practical sizing rule: at 0.5 MPa plan on roughly 875 N of real work (about 60% of rating), which is a vertical lift of about 89 kg, or roughly 44 kg with a 2:1 margin. FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA clevis and FTC brackets mount on the standard face; the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches, and without -S no magnet is fitted. Speed range 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um, 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) operating, proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), -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 ACED63X40B Is Used
Press-station part seating
The symmetric 1458.1 N output lets one ACED63X40B seat bushings in a housing from either side of a transfer line, with the 40 mm stroke matching shallow press depth.
Reciprocating conveyor gates
A rod on both covers lets the same cylinder push a sliding gate open and closed with equal force, and the fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs the stop.
Lift-and-hold fixture risers
With about 89 kg of vertical lift capability at 0.5 MPa, the through-rod raises and lowers a jig riser symmetrically; add a pilot check valve where the load must stay up.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X40B the Right Cylinder?
For 40 mm of stroke and about 1458 N of force in both directions, bore 63 is the sweet spot; step down to bore 50 (881.2 N at 0.5 MPa) for lighter clamping, or up to bore 80 (2356.2 N) for heavier presses. Max standard stroke for this bore is 250 mm, so 40 mm is a stock length. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. Pick the B male rod thread here, or order without B for a female M10x1.5 rod end; add -S only if you need CMSE / DMSE switching.
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 ACED63X40B FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both strokes, so output is equal either way: 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), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 16 mm rod has a male thread (B code).
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome rod and a fixed TPU bumper at each end. Switching requires the optional -S magnet code - this model (no S) carries no magnet, so order ACED63X40BS to run CMSE or DMSE switches.
