The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X40SB 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.
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED63X40SB pushes a 63 mm bore through a 40 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers. Because each side sees the rod-side area, output is identical in either direction: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa. The male rod thread (B code) suits external knuckles and tooling plates, and the PT port takes a 1/8" fitting.
The through-rod resists rotation and carries a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can drive a sensor flag on a press or inspection station. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight gantries. The S code means the magnet is already fitted for CMSE / DMSE switches, and a fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends.

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).

|---|---|
| 63 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×40 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSE / DMSE sensors (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
ACE-family variants: ACE (double acting), ASE / ATE (single acting push / pull), ACED (double rod), ACEJ (double rod, 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 output both ways lets one cylinder clamp a machined aluminium housing on the forward stroke and eject it on the return, with the male rod thread taking an I knuckle.
A rod at each end balances a 40 mm shuttle stroke on an automotive assembly line, and the fitted magnet with a DMSE switch confirms each end position at 30-500 mm/s.
The back rod carries a sensor flag while the front rod raises a 70 kg test fixture vertically, staying inside the 875 N usable force at 0.5 MPa.
At 1458.1 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, bore 63 sits between the 50 mm frame (881.2 N) and the 80 mm frame (2356.2 N), so step up only if the load demands it. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face; this unit already carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches mount directly. Strokes up to 250 mm are standard for this bore.
Quick checklist
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, peaking at 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 1/8" port depends only on the 63 mm bore.
The S means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clamped into the body slots right away. The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, a fixed TPU bumper decelerates both ends of travel, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets bolt straight to the standard face.
