About the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE32X15SB
This AirTAC ACE32X15SB is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 15 mm stroke, delivering 402.1 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Its short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight automation frames where a full-length unit will not.
The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome plated rod resist wear in continuous cycling. With the optional -S magnet fitted, this model works with CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches for position sensing. For a safe working load, plan for about 241 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 24.6 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin, so match it to actual part weights.

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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø32mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE32X15SB Is Used
Fixture Clamping
Use in a CNC machine fixture to clamp small parts with 402.1 N push force at 0.5 MPa, fitting into the confined space between the spindle and guard.
Label Applicator
Drive a label applicator head in a packaging line, where the 15 mm stroke and compact body allow precise placement inside a tight frame.
Test Probe Actuation
Actuate a test probe in an electronics assembly station, using the 345.6 N pull force at 0.5 MPa to retract the probe reliably after each check.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE32X15SB the Right Cylinder?
Choose this ACE32X15SB for short-stroke clamping or pressing in compact spaces. If you need more force, step up to the 40 mm bore which pushes 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa; for lighter duty, the 25 mm bore pushes 245.4 N at the same pressure. The male rod thread (B) simplifies mounting of custom tooling, and the 1/8" port matches common fittings.
Remember, this cylinder does not hold position when air is lost or the valve is centered, so for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact but is not a brake or lock. Mounting options like FA/FB flange, LB foot, or CA/CB clevis bolt directly to the ISO 21287 face.
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 ACE32X15SB 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. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits in tight jigs and guards. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke energy, but it does not lock or hold a load. The optional -S magnet fitted here enables CMSE or DMSE switches for position sensing.
