Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE32X160SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE32X160SB is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 160mm 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 ACE32X160SB
This AirTAC ACE32X160SB is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 160 mm stroke. Its short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight machine frames and guarding where a full-length cylinder will not. The S code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted directly to sense piston position.
At 0.5 MPa the push force is 402.1 N and the pull is 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 563 N. For real work, plan on about 241 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa, which is roughly 24.6 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 safety margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod resist wear, and the fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke energy.

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 ACE32X160SB Is Used
Fixture Clamping
Use in a CNC fixture to clamp small aluminium parts with 402.1 N push force at 0.5 MPa; the compact body fits under a workholding plate.
Package Stop
Mount on a conveyor rail to stop cartons up to 24 kg; the 160 mm stroke allows retraction clear of the product path.
Guard Door Actuator
Operate a sliding machine guard on a packaging line; the short stroke and compact length keep the actuator within the guard frame.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE32X160SB the Right Cylinder?
For a lighter duty, the ACE25X160 offers 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa with an M5x0.8 port; for more power, the ACE40X160 delivers 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa with the same 1/8" port. This ACE32X160SB has a male rod thread (B code) and PT port thread, so it suits clevis or flange mounts where a threaded rod simplifies attachment. Since the magnet is fitted, order CMSE or DMSE switches for position sensing; without the -S option, no magnet is present.
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 ACE32X160SB FAQ
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. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
The magnet is optional and fitted because the model includes the S code. It enables CMSE or DMSE switches for position sensing. Without the -S option, no magnet is present. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact but does not lock or hold a load.
