The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE32X10SH is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 10mm 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.
This AirTAC ACE32X10SH is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a 32 mm bore and a 10 mm stroke, delivering 402.1 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Its short body takes up about 50% less mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight machine frames and guarding where a full-length unit would not.
The optional -S magnet is already fitted on this model, letting you mount CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches for end-of-stroke sensing. For a safe working load, plan for roughly 241 N (about 24.6 kg) of real work at 0.5 MPa, not the full rating, to account for friction and dynamic loads. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact, but it does not hold a load in place if air pressure is lost.

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 | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 402 N | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | 484 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 82 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

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.
Use in a CNC fixture to clamp small parts with a 10 mm stroke, where the short body fits under a workholding plate and the 402.1 N push force holds components firmly during milling.
Mount on a packaging line to press labels onto cartons with a quick 10 mm stroke. The compact size fits between conveyor rails, and the magnet lets a CMSE switch confirm each press cycle.
Act as a stop pin on a machine safety guard, extending 10 mm to block a sliding door. The 345.6 N pull force retracts the pin reliably, and the fixed TPU bumper prevents noise at high cycle rates.
For a lighter duty, the ACE25X10 offers 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the ACE40X10 gives you 628.3 N push at the same pressure. If your application needs to hold a vertical load when air is off, add a rod lock or pilot check valve because this cylinder drifts without air pressure. The 1/8" port and M8x1.25 female rod thread suit standard fittings, and the compact body accepts FA, FB, LB, CA, CB, CR, SDB, and FTC mounting brackets.
Quick checklist
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 is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The ACE32X10SH body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it saves valuable mounting space in tight fixtures. It has a hard-anodized aluminium body and a fixed TPU bumper at both ends, which absorbs impact but does not lock the rod. The optional -S magnet is fitted here for CMSE or DMSE sensors, and the 1/8" port accepts standard fittings.
