Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE32X15H
The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE32X15H 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.

About the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE32X15H
This AirTAC ACE32X15H is a double acting compact cylinder that uses air to both extend and retract its 12 mm rod. With a 32 mm bore it delivers 402.1 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, which is enough to handle light clamping or small part ejection in automated assembly. The short ISO 21287 body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight guarding and compact jigs where a full-length cylinder will not.
The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome plated rod resist wear in high-cycle applications. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs impact energy at stroke limits, protecting the cylinder from damage. This model has no magnet fitted, so CMSE or DMSE sensors cannot be used unless you order the optional -S magnet version. For a real-world load estimate, plan for about 241 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which is roughly 24.6 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE32X15H Is Used
Jig Clamping
Use the 402.1 N push force to clamp small workpieces in a CNC fixture. The 15 mm stroke is enough to secure parts without taking up extra space, and the short body fits under a machine guard.
Label Applicator
Drive a label applicator head with a 15 mm stroke to press labels onto small boxes. The 345.6 N pull force retracts the head quickly, keeping cycle times under 0.5 seconds.
Parts Ejector
Eject small stamped parts from a die or mold using the 402.1 N push force. The fixed TPU bumper prevents the rod from slamming at the end of stroke, reducing noise and part damage.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE32X15H the Right Cylinder?
When sizing, compare this 32 mm bore with the smaller 25 mm bore which pushes 245.4 N, or the larger 40 mm bore which pushes 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa. The 15 mm stroke is well within the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a standard off-the-shelf unit. Since this is a double acting cylinder, it will retract with air pressure, but it will not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered. For a held load, add a rod lock or pilot check valve. The 1/8" port matches common small valve manifolds, and the female M8x1.25 rod thread accepts standard rod clevis or knuckle fittings. This model has no magnet, so order the -S version if you need CMSE or DMSE switch feedback.
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 ACE32X15H 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 is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
No, this model has no magnet, so CMSE or DMSE sensors cannot be used. The magnet is an optional -S code addition. If you need position sensing, order the ACE32X15HS version instead. The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and the fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke energy.
