Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X40S
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X40S is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 40mm 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.

About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X40S
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED63X40S pushes a 63 mm piston through a 40 mm stroke with a rod leaving BOTH covers, so thrust is identical in either direction: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. This -S version carries the optional magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped onto the body slot for end-of-stroke signalling.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with a hard-chrome plated S45C rod runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. Its short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and at 0.5 MPa the rod-side force converts to roughly 148 kgf, so halving for a 2:1 margin it lifts about 74 kg vertically - enough to raise a loaded pallet fixture or a steel weldment directly.

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 ACED63X40S Is Used
Pallet lift-and-lower station
The symmetric through-rod lifts about 74 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin, raising a loaded pallet fixture between an assembly bench and a conveyor transfer.
Reciprocating weldment pusher
Equal 1458.1 N force in both directions indexes a steel bracket back and forth on a welding line, with the rear rod carrying a position flag for the PLC.
Gantry pick-and-place clamp
The short ISO 21287 body fits inside a tight gantry frame where a full-length ISO 15552 profile cylinder would not, clamping castings at up to 2041.3 N.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X40S the Right Cylinder?
At 1458.1 N per direction this bore 63 unit 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 down when the load is light, step up for heavier clamping. Keep real working effort near 875 N (about 0.6 of the rating) for long service life. Note 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. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face, and the female M10x1.5 rod thread takes standard rod accessories.
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 ACED63X40S FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area, 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 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 depends only on the 63 mm bore.
The S is the optional magnet code - this model carries it, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted in the body slot for position feedback. Mechanically it is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder: hard-anodized aluminium body, hard-chrome plated S45C rod, threaded aluminium covers, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end that decelerates the piston at stroke ends. Its short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
