The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE32X175B 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 ACE32X175B is a double acting compact cylinder with a 32 mm bore and a 175 mm stroke, delivering 402.1 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Its hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, fitting into tight machine frames where a full-length unit won't go.
The S45C piston rod is hard-chrome plated and has a male thread (B code) for direct coupling. With a fixed TPU bumper at both ends, it absorbs energy at stroke limits, but it does not lock or hold a load. 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 reliable operation.

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.
| 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.

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.
Use the 402.1 N push force at 0.5 MPa to clamp small parts in a CNC vise or workholding fixture, where the compact body fits under a machine guard.
In a packaging line, this cylinder can push finished cartons off a conveyor onto a chute, with the 175 mm stroke clearing the full product width.
Mount it inside a machine enclosure to hold a safety guard door open during maintenance, relying on the fixed TPU bumper to soften the stop at full extension.
Compare this 32 mm bore unit to a smaller 25 mm bore ACE25X175, which pushes 245.4 N at 0.5 MPa, or step up to a 40 mm bore ACE40X175 for 628.3 N of push force. The 175 mm stroke is within the 200 mm standard maximum for this bore, so no special order is needed.
With a 1/8" port and PT thread, this cylinder is ready for standard fittings. Since there is no -S code, this unit has no magnet, so CMSE or DMSE sensors cannot be mounted; order the optional -S version if you need position sensing. The male rod thread simplifies mounting with rod end accessories.
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. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
It's an ISO 21287 compact cylinder, so its body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, saving space in tight installations. This unit has no magnet because the -S option was not ordered, so CMSE or DMSE switches cannot be used; you'd need the -S version for sensor mounting. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends handles end-of-stroke impact.
