The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X55S 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 ACED63X55S is a double acting, double-rod ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a 63 mm bore and 55 mm stroke. A 16 mm rod exits both covers, so the rod-side area works on each stroke and the output is equal in both directions: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa. The through-rod resists rotation and light side load, and the rear rod end can carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed range 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which makes this bore easy to fit into tight gantries and guarding. At 0.5 MPa the thrust equals roughly 148 kgf, so halving for a 2:1 margin lets it lift about 74 kg vertically; planning around 875 N (about 89 kg) of real work keeps a comfortable reserve. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries the optional -S magnet, fitted on this model, for CMSE / DMSE switches, and the S45C hard-chrome rod thread is female M10x1.5 with a 1/8" PT port.

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).

| ×55 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSE / DMSE sensors (omit for no magnet). |

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 force on both strokes lets one cylinder clamp from either side of a weld jig, with the rear rod driving a second clamp pad off the same piston.
With about 74 kg of vertical lift at a 2:1 margin, the 63 mm double rod raises and lowers pallet trays on assembly lines, the through-rod keeping the platform level.
The fitted -S magnet works with CMSE / DMSE switches so a short-stroke forming or marking press confirms both end positions, inside a body about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
At 63 mm bore this model delivers 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa in both directions; step down to the 50 mm bore (881.2 N) for lighter clamping or up to the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N) for heavier presses. The 55 mm stroke sits well inside the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. Note that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches for end-of-stroke detection.
Quick checklist
Because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area and the force is identical either 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 pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure.
This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE reed or DMSE solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots to signal piston position. Each end of the stroke is decelerated by a fixed TPU bumper; it is not adjustable and does not hold the load, so use a rod lock or pilot check valve where a lost-air position must be kept.
