Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE32X100S
The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE32X100S is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 100mm 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.

About the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE32X100S
This AirTAC ACE32X100S is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 100 mm stroke, delivering 402.1 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Its hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome plated rod are built for repeated cycles in tight automation cells, and the fixed TPU bumper at each end softens the stop without any adjustment.
Because the body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it fits inside guard doors and compact jigs where a full-length unit will not. The optional -S magnet is fitted here, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted to confirm rod position. For a real-world load, plan on roughly 24 kg of safe vertical work at 0.5 MPa, which is about 60% of the rated push force, leaving margin for friction and speed.

Where the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE32X100S Is Used
Fixture Clamping
Mount this ACE32X100S on a CNC fixture to clamp small aluminium parts during drilling. The 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa holds the workpiece firmly, while the 100 mm stroke clears the tool path for loading and unloading.
Light Conveyor Stop
Use it as a stop gate on a packaging line for cartons up to 20 kg. The 100 mm stroke retracts the stop below the rollers, and the optional -S magnet lets a CMSE switch confirm the stop is clear before the next box advances.
Guard Door Interlock
In a semi-automatic assembly press, this cylinder actuates a sliding safety guard. The compact body fits within the machine frame, and the fixed TPU bumper prevents hard end-of-stroke shocks that could misalign the guard track.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE32X100S the Right Cylinder?
For a lighter duty in the same footprint, the ACE25X100 with a 25 mm bore pushes 245.4 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the ACE40X100 gives you 628.3 N of push force. This 32 mm bore model is a balanced middle ground for medium-force clamping or light transfer tasks. Since this unit carries the -S magnet, you can add CMSE or DMSE switches for position sensing; without the -S code, no magnet is present. Mounting options like FA/FB flanges, LB feet, or CA/CB clevises bolt directly to the ISO 21287 face, so it drops into standard fixtures. Remember, this cylinder is double acting and will not hold a load if air pressure is lost - use a rod lock or pilot check valve for safety.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Short stroke fits the compact body
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Add -S if you need the magnet for sensors
- ✓ Rod type (female / male B) & mount (FA/LB/CA)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Compact body: keep the stroke short and avoid side load on the rod.
- check Do not dismantle the threaded front/back covers.
- check Keep speed within the rated range; the TPU bumper absorbs stroke-end energy.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE32X100S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 402.1 N and the pull force is 345.6 N. At 0.7 MPa, push is 563 N and pull is 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf. These figures assume clean, dry air at the rated pressure.
The ACE32X100S has a body about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it saves valuable mounting length in tight spaces like machine guards or gantries. It uses a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb end-of-stroke energy, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE or DMSE switches for position sensing. The cylinder is double acting, meaning air both extends and retracts the rod.
