The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X55B 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.
A double acting compact actuator built to ISO 21287, the ACED63X55B pushes a 16 mm rod out of BOTH covers, so thrust is identical on the extend and retract strokes. At 0.5 MPa the 63 mm bore delivers 1458.1 N in either direction, rising to 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa. The male rod thread (B code) on each end bolts straight to your tooling.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second fixture. The hard-anodized aluminium body with S45C hard-chrome rod saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight gantries and guarding. Fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke shock at both ends, speed spans 30-500 mm/s, and pressure runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof. For sizing, treat roughly 875 N (about 0.6 of the 0.5 MPa rating) as the practical working thrust, which lifts roughly 74 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

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).
| ACED | ISO 21287 compact cylinder (double-rod). |
|---|---|
| 63 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×55 | 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 equal 1458.1 N thrust both ways suits a light staking or marking press where the same force must push and pull a forming die on the 55 mm stroke.
A rod on each cover lets one end drive the pusher plate while the rear rod carries a flag for a proximity sensor, cycling at up to 500 mm/s.
The short ISO 21287 body fits under low gantry beams, and the through-rod balances a 74 kg vertical lift load with a 2:1 margin in a pick station.
At 1458.1 N per side at 0.5 MPa this 63 mm double-rod unit sits between the 50 mm bore (881.2 N) and the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N), so step down for lighter clamping or up for heavy press-fit work. Keep in mind it will not hold position if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. Mount with FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles on the ISO 21287 face. If you need CMSE or DMSE switch position feedback, order the optional -S magnet version; this base model has no magnet fitted.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area, so force is equal extending and retracting: 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) and speed is 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with fixed TPU bumpers at both ends and FA/FB, LB or FTC mounting options. Switches are possible only on the -S version: the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE sensors, while this base model ships without a magnet.
