The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X55 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 55mm 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.
The ACED63X55 is a double acting, double-rod ISO 21287 compact cylinder: a 16 mm piston rod exits BOTH covers of the 63 mm bore body, so output force is equal in both directions - 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa on either stroke, because both sides work on the rod-side area. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the back-end rod can carry a sensor flag. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s with a fixed TPU bumper at each end.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with S45C hard-chrome-plated rod runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) filtered air, proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), temperature -20 to +70 C. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits tight jigs and gantries. In practice, plan for roughly 875 N of real work at 0.5 MPa (about 0.6 of the rating), which lifts about 74 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches; without -S there is no magnet.

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.

| 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).

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.
A 63 mm double-rod cylinder pushing 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa from either side suits a small terminal-crimping fixture where the 55 mm stroke closes the dies and the back rod returns a stripper plate.
On a beverage conveyor, the through-rod keeps the pusher bar square under side load while the equal 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa diverts six-packs into lanes at up to 500 mm/s.
In a CNC tending gantry, the rear rod of the ACED63X55 carries a flag for a DMSE switch (with the optional -S magnet) to confirm part clamping inside the short 55 mm envelope.
At 63 mm bore you sit between the 50 mm (881.2 N at 0.5 MPa) and 80 mm (2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa) double-rod sizes, so pick the ACED63X55 when your press or clamp needs near-1500 N both ways in a 55 mm stroke. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check. Bolt FA/FB flanges, LB feet or FTC brackets to the ISO 21287 face, and order the -S code if you want CMSE / DMSE position switches. Female M10x1.5 rod thread, PT ports, 1/8".
Quick checklist
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal both ways: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa per direction (rod-side area). Maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 297.4 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end and FA/FB, LB or FTC mounting on the standard face. Position sensing needs the optional -S magnet ordered with the cylinder; only then can CMSE / DMSE switches be mounted on the body slots.
