The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE32X30H 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 ACE32X30H is a double acting compact cylinder that delivers 402.1 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it a solid choice for light assembly tasks. Its ISO 21287 short body cuts mounting length by about half compared to an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight machine frames and guarding.
For real-world sizing, plan on about 24.6 kg of usable vertical lift at 0.5 MPa, which is roughly 60% of the rated push. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod resist wear, while the fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact without any adjustment. Since this model has no -S code, it has no magnet, so CMSE or DMSE sensors cannot be fitted unless you order the optional magnet version.

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 in a CNC fixture to clamp small aluminium parts during drilling. The 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa holds workpieces securely, and the short body fits under a low-profile guard.
Drive a tabbing mechanism on a packaging line that folds and presses cardboard flaps. The 30 mm stroke cycles at up to 500 mm/s, matching high-speed intermittent motion.
Actuate a spring-loaded test probe on an electronic assembly bench. The compact body allows side-by-side mounting in a dense array, and the fixed TPU bumper prevents probe bounce at the end of stroke.
Choose this 32 mm bore unit when you need moderate force in a compact envelope. For lighter duty, the 25 mm bore pushes 245.4 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to 40 mm gives you 628.3 N of push at the same pressure. The 30 mm stroke suits short indexing moves, and the 1/8" port matches standard pneumatic fittings.
This cylinder does not hold its position if air pressure is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for vertical loads. Mounting options like FA/FB flanges, LB foot, or CA/CB clevis bolt directly to the ISO 21287 face, and the female M8x1.25 rod thread accepts standard attachments.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, push force is 402.1 N and pull force is 345.6 N. At 0.7 MPa, push rises to 563.0 N and pull to 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf. These numbers assume clean, dry air at the rated pressure.
The ACE32X30H follows ISO 21287, a compact standard that saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits in tight spaces. However, this model has no magnet because it lacks the -S option, so CMSE or DMSE switches cannot be used. Order the -S version to get the built-in magnet for sensor feedback.
