The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X45 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 45mm 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 ACED63X45 pushes a 63 mm bore through a 45 mm stroke with a piston rod leaving both covers. Because each side sees the rod-side area, output is a symmetric 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction. The through-rod resists rotation and light side load, and the free back-end rod is a handy mount for a sensor flag on indexing fixtures.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated rod runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, from -20 to +70 C. Its short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight gantries and guarding. At 0.5 MPa plan on roughly 875 N of usable work, which lifts about 74 kg vertically with margin. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock.

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. |
| ×45 | 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 (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 output in both directions makes the through-rod ideal for diverting cartons on packaging lines, where return and extend strokes must move the same load.
A 45 mm stroke lifting about 74 kg vertically at 0.5 MPa suits short-lift Z axes on electronics assembly gantries, with the back-end rod carrying a position flag.
Roughly 875 N of usable work force at 0.5 MPa stakes small bushings and dowels in automotive bracket assemblies where the compact body must fit inside a fixture plate.
At 1458.1 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, the 63 mm bore sits between the 50 mm bore (881.2 N) and the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N), so pick it when 50 mm is marginal but 80 mm is oversized for the fixture. Stroke 45 mm is well inside the 250 mm standard range for this bore; longer made-to-order strokes are available. Note the piston will drift if air is lost - for a held vertical load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches; this code has no magnet fitted.
Quick checklist
Yes. As a double-rod cylinder, a 16 mm rod exits both covers and both strokes use the rod-side area, so output is equal each way: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa, 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 297.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um, -20 to +70 C.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder: hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome rod, threaded aluminium covers and a fixed TPU bumper at each end that only decelerates the piston at stroke ends. The body is about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. Sensing requires the optional -S magnet code; with that ordered, CMSE / DMSE switches clamp into the body slots. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC mounts plus I/Y knuckles fit the standard face. Rod end is female M10x1.5, air port 1/8" PT.
