The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE32X25B is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 25mm 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 ACE32X25B is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder that extends and retracts its 12 mm rod with air pressure. Its hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight machine guards and compact jigs where a full-length cylinder would not.
At 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore unit pushes with 402.1 N and pulls with 345.6 N. For a real-world vertical lift with a 2:1 safety margin, plan to lift about 20 kg (402.1 N divided by 9.81, then halved). The fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact, but it does not hold a load if air pressure is lost - use a rod lock or pilot check valve for that.

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.
Clamp small parts in a CNC milling fixture where the 25 mm stroke and 402.1 N push hold a bracket securely during drilling, with the compact body fitting under the spindle guard.
Push a glue tab into place on a corrugated box assembly line, using the short stroke and 345.6 N pull to retract the tab folder quickly between cycles at up to 500 mm/s.
Operate a small pneumatic divert valve in a material handling system, where the 12 mm rod and 25 mm stroke provide precise, repeatable movement in a confined control panel.
For lighter work, the ACE25X25 offers 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the ACE40X25 steps up to 628.3 N push. This ACE32X25B has a male rod thread (B code) and a 1/8" port, making it easy to connect with standard fittings. Since there is no -S code, this unit has no magnet, so CMSE or DMSE sensors cannot be mounted on it; order the -S version if you need position sensing.
Quick checklist
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 is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), with proof pressure at 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
It follows the ISO 21287 compact standard, so its body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. The aluminium body is hard-anodized for wear, and the fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke energy. This model has no magnet, so add the -S option if you need CMSE or DMSE sensors.
