The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X55SB 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 cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED63X55SB pushes a 63 mm bore through a 55 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers, so thrust is identical on each stroke: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa. The male rod thread from the B code bolts straight to tooling, and the through-rod resists rotation while the rear rod can carry a sensor flag.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod runs 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), with fixed TPU bumpers at both ends. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be clipped to the body slots, and the short build saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.

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 (double rod, 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.
Equal 1458.1 N force on both strokes suits a punch-and-return die set on an aluminium extrusion line, where the male rod thread grips the punch holder directly.
A packaging gantry raising about 74 kg carton stacks per cycle uses the through-rod on both sides to keep the crosshead level without a guide rail.
With the fitted -S magnet driving CMSE switches, a bottling line indexer confirms extend and retract positions on its 55 mm stop stroke.
At 1458.1 N per direction, this bore sits between the 50 mm frame (881.2 N) and the 80 mm frame (2356.2 N) at 0.5 MPa. If the load needs holding when air drops, add a rod lock or pilot check - the piston will drift on its own. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets mount on the ISO 21287 face; the 55 mm stroke is well inside the 250 mm standard limit for bore 63.
Quick checklist
Because a rod exits both covers, output is equal both ways: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa, peaking at 297.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C on air filtered to 40 um.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow machine frames. This model carries the optional -S magnet, letting CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches sit in the body slots, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock.
