The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE32X15B is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 15mm 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 ACE32X15B is a double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, with a 32 mm bore and a 15 mm stroke. Its hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome plated rod deliver 402.1 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, while the fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, making it ideal for tight machine frames and guard enclosures.
With a male rod thread (B code) and a PT port, this unit is ready for direct linkage. Since it lacks the optional -S magnet, no CMSE or DMSE sensor can be fitted; order the -S variant if you need position sensing. For a safe working load, plan for about 241 N (24.6 kgf) of real work at 0.5 MPa, or roughly 24.6 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 safety margin.

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.
Clamp small parts in a CNC fixture with 402.1 N push force, fitting into a tight jig body where a longer ISO 15552 cylinder would not fit.
Actuate a stop pin on a light assembly conveyor, using the 15 mm stroke to block or release totes at a work cell.
Move a safety guard latch on a packaging machine, with the compact body fitting inside a slim aluminum extrusion frame.
For lighter duty, consider the ACE25X15 with 245.4 N push, or step up to the ACE40X15 for 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa. This 32 mm bore suits moderate force applications in compact spaces. The fixed TPU bumper does not hold loads; if the load must stay put when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check valve. Choose FA/FB flange, LB foot, or CA/CB clevis mounts to match your fixture.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, push is 402.1 N and pull is 345.6 N. At 0.7 MPa, push is 563 N and pull is 483.8 N. Theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
No, this ACE32X15B has no magnet because it lacks the -S code. To use CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches, you must order the ACE32X15B-S variant with the optional -S magnet. The fixed TPU bumper only absorbs end-of-stroke impact; it does not lock or hold the rod.
