The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE32X30BH is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 30mm 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 ACE32X30BH is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 30 mm stroke, delivering 402.1 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome plated rod resist wear, while the fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs impact without adjustable damping.
Its short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, fitting into tight machine frames and guarding. For a 2:1 safety margin, plan to lift about 20 kg vertically at 0.5 MPa (402.1 N divided by 9.81, then halved), making it a practical choice for light assembly lifts and clamping tasks.

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.

| ×30 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSE / DMSE sensors (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
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 in a CNC fixture to clamp small aluminium parts with 402 N force, fitting into the compact space beside the spindle.
Mount on a packaging line to tamp folded cartons into place at 30 mm stroke, cycling up to 500 mm/s for high throughput.
Operate a small machine guard door on a press brake, where the short body fits within the frame and the 345 N pull retracts the door reliably.
When sizing, compare this 32 mm bore with the 25 mm bore (245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa) for lighter loads or the 40 mm bore (628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa) for more force. The male rod thread (B code) simplifies mounting with rod-end accessories, and the 1/8" port suits standard fittings.
This model has no magnet, so it cannot use CMSE or DMSE sensors; order the optional -S version if you need position sensing. For holding a load when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check valve, as the TPU bumper does not lock the rod.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, push force is 402.1 N and pull force 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 range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), with proof pressure at 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The ISO 21287 body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits in tight jigs and guards. It uses a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb impact, not an adjustable air cushion. The 32 mm bore has a 1/8" port and a male rod thread, and it operates at speeds from 30 to 500 mm/s.
