The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE32X175 is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 175mm 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 ACE32X175 is a double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, with a 32 mm bore and a 175 mm stroke. It delivers 402.1 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, so you can plan for about 24.6 kg of real vertical lifting work with a 2:1 safety margin, not the full theoretical rating. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome plated rod are made for repeated cycling in tight spaces.
The short ISO 21287 body saves roughly half the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which lets this unit fit inside machine guards and compact jigs where a longer cylinder will not go. It uses a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb end-of-stroke impact, and the 1/8" port keeps installation simple. This version has no magnet, so it cannot accept CMSE or DMSE sensors unless you order the optional -S code.

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.

| 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.
Mount this ACE32X175 on a CNC fixture to clamp small aluminium parts during drilling. The 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa holds parts firmly, and the compact body fits under the spindle guard without extra clearance.
Use the 175 mm stroke to tamp folded cartons flat before sealing on a packaging line. The fixed TPU bumper reduces end-of-stroke noise, and the short body lets you install it between existing conveyor rails.
Position this cylinder as a pneumatic stop on an assembly conveyor to halt pallets at a work station. The 345.6 N pull force at 0.5 MPa retracts the stop quickly, and the 1/8" port connects easily to standard air lines.
For a 32 mm bore cylinder, the ACE32X175 suits applications needing moderate force in a short envelope. If you need more thrust, step up to the 40 mm bore, which pushes 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa, or drop to the 25 mm bore for 245.4 N if space is tighter. The 175 mm stroke is within the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a standard catalog item. Remember that this plain double acting cylinder does not hold its position when air pressure is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put.
Quick checklist
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), with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
No, this version has no magnet, so it cannot accept CMSE or DMSE switches. If you need position sensing, order the ACE32X175S with the optional -S magnet. The compact ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and the fixed TPU bumper at both ends handles end-of-stroke impact.
