Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X5
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X5 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 5mm 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 ACED63X5
The ACED63X5 is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the ISO 21287 short-body format. A 16 mm rod exits both covers, so the 63 mm bore delivers an identical 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa (2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa) on every stroke, in either direction. The through-rod resists rotation and light side load, and the free back-end rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tool. 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.
Because the short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, this 5 mm stroke unit slips into shallow clamping pockets and indexing fixtures where a full-length body would overhang. Fixed TPU bumpers at both ends absorb end-of-stroke shock. Plan on roughly 875 N (about 89 kg) of real work at 0.5 MPa instead of the full 1458.1 N rating, and note the vertical-lift equivalent: it lifts about 74 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The magnet is optional - order the -S code to enable CMSE / DMSE switches; this base model has no magnet fitted.

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 ACED63X5 Is Used
Short-stamp marking on aluminium extrusions
A 5 mm throw is ideal for a date-code or logo stamp head: the through-rod keeps the die square to the part while both ends deliver the same 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa.
Part-present pop-up on a CNC fixture
The back-end rod drives a workpiece support pin while the front rod clamps, so one double-rod cylinder does two jobs inside a tight jig pocket.
Case kickers on a carton line
Symmetric force both ways lets the kicker push cartons off a conveyor in either direction at 30-500 mm/s, with the compact body fitting under the guard rail.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X5 the Right Cylinder?
At 5 mm stroke this is a short-throw positioning and clamping actuator: choose it when you need equal 1458.1 N force on both the extend and retract side of a 63 mm bore. Step down to a 50 mm bore (881.2 N at 0.5 MPa) for lighter clamps, or up to an 80 mm bore (2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa) for heavier press-fit work. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost - for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. Bolt it on with FA/FB flange or LB foot brackets and I/Y rod knuckles on the ISO 21287 face, and add the -S code only if CMSE / DMSE switching is needed.
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 ACED63X5 FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area, so force is equal extend and retract: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa, 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, temperature -20 to +70 C, fluid air filtered to 40 um.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so the 63 mm bore fits shallow fixtures. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy but does not lock or hold a load - use a rod lock or pilot check for that. Switches need the optional -S magnet code; CMSE / DMSE sensors then mount in the body slots. This base ACED63X5 has no magnet fitted.
