The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED80X60 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 60mm stroke, 1/4" 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 ACED80X60 pushes a 20 mm rod out of BOTH covers, so every stroke works on the rod-side area and delivers an identical 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa (3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa) in each direction. The 80 mm bore sits in the heavy compact class, and the short hard-anodized aluminium body takes up roughly half the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into press fixtures and gantries where a full-length body cannot. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock.
Because the rod passes through both covers, the shaft resists rotation and light side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a symmetric tooling plate. Run it on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), from -20 to 70 C at 30-500 mm/s. As a rule of thumb, plan about 1414 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 120 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The magnet is not fitted on this code; order the -S version if you want CMSE / DMSE switch detection.

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 | 2356 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 3299 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 481 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.
The 2356.2 N symmetric thrust at 0.5 MPa suits staking, riveting and light forming on aluminium brackets, with the 60 mm stroke matching short press dies.
A rod on each cover lets one cylinder clamp a machined housing from two faces with equal 3298.7 N force at 0.7 MPa, keeping the part centered.
The through-rod resists the side load of diverting cartons off a packaging line, and the fixed TPU bumpers soften each divert at 30-500 mm/s.
At 2356.2 N per direction, the 80 mm bore covers loads that a 63 mm bore (1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa) would undersize, while a 100 mm bore (3769.9 N) is the step up if your fixture grows. The 60 mm stroke is well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a catalog item. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. Mount with FA/FB flanges, LB feet or FTC brackets on the ISO 21287 face, and specify the -S code only when CMSE / DMSE switches are actually needed.
Quick checklist
Yes. Because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa, equal push and pull. At 1.0 MPa the peak is 480.5 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um, -20 to 70 C.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome-plated 20 mm rod, about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. A fixed TPU bumper at each end decelerates the piston but never locks or holds a load, so use a rod lock or pilot check for held positions. This base code has no magnet; add the optional -S magnet to enable CMSE / DMSE switches. Rod end is female M12x1.75, ports are 1/4" PT.
