Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE32X15S
The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE32X15S 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 ACE32X15S
This AirTAC ACE32X15S is double acting, with air extending and retracting the rod, and it uses a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb energy. With a 32 mm bore, it delivers 402.1 N of push force and 345.6 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it a solid choice for moderate-duty automation tasks.
The ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight machine guards and compact jigs where space is at a premium. This model carries the optional -S magnet, enabling the use of CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches for reliable position sensing. For a safe working load, plan for about 241 N (roughly 24.6 kg) of real work at 0.5 MPa, not the full rating, to ensure long service life.

Where the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE32X15S Is Used
Fixture Clamping
Use in a CNC machine fixture to clamp small parts with a 15 mm stroke, leveraging the 402.1 N push force at 0.5 MPa for secure holding during drilling or milling operations.
Parts Ejection
Mount on a packaging conveyor to eject rejected items into a bin; the short stroke and compact body fit between rollers, and the -S magnet triggers a sensor to confirm each cycle.
Guard Door Interlock
Actuate a small safety guard door on a semi-automatic assembly station, where the 32 mm bore provides enough force to move the door and the compact size fits within the machine frame.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE32X15S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing, compare this 32 mm bore to a smaller 25 mm bore (245.4 N push) or a larger 40 mm bore (628.3 N push) at 0.5 MPa to match your force needs. The 15 mm stroke suits short-travel applications like clamping or part ejection, but remember a plain ACE cylinder does not hold its position if air pressure is lost, so use a rod lock or pilot check valve for load holding. The 1/8" port and M8x1.25 female rod thread are standard, and the fitted -S magnet allows easy sensor integration for cycle confirmation.
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 ACE32X15S 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 standard air pressure and a properly filtered air supply.
The ACE32X15S body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits in tight spaces like machine guards or compact jigs. It uses a fixed TPU bumper at both ends for energy absorption, not an adjustable cushion, and the optional -S magnet allows mounting CMSE or DMSE sensors for position feedback.
