Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE32X30SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE32X30SB 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.

About the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE32X30SB
This AirTAC ACE32X30SB is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder that extends and retracts its 12 mm rod with air pressure, delivering a 402.1 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa. Its short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it tucks into tight jigs and guards where a full-length unit will not fit.
With the optional -S magnet fitted, this model accepts CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches for position sensing. For real work at 0.5 MPa, plan for about 24.6 kgf of usable force (roughly 0.6 times the push rating), which lifts about 12.3 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and the hard-anodized aluminium body with S45C hard-chrome rod resists wear in repetitive cycles.

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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø32mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE32X30SB Is Used
Fixture Clamping
Use in a CNC fixture to clamp small aluminium parts with 402.1 N push force, where the short body fits under a workholding table and the male rod thread allows a quick-change clamp pad.
Sorting Gate
Actuate a diverter gate on a light conveyor line, pushing 345.6 N on retract to redirect boxes. The 30 mm stroke is enough for a small flap, and the magnet lets a DMSE sensor confirm gate position.
Test Rig Stop
Position a mechanical stop in a durability test rig for switches or small assemblies, using the 402.1 N push to hold a part in place during a 0.5 MPa cycle. The compact body mounts inside a guard enclosure without protruding.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE32X30SB the Right Cylinder?
For a lighter duty, the ACE25X30 with a 25 mm bore pushes 245.4 N at 0.5 MPa, while the ACE40X30 with a 40 mm bore pushes 628.3 N at the same pressure. This 32 mm bore is a balanced middle choice for moderate force needs in a compact envelope. The male rod thread (B code) simplifies mounting with rod-end accessories, and the 1/8" port suits standard pneumatic fittings. Since this unit carries the -S magnet, order CMSE or DMSE switches to monitor position; without the -S code, no magnet is present. Note that a plain ACE does not hold its load when air is lost - for holding, add a rod lock or pilot check valve.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Short stroke fits the compact body
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Add -S if you need the magnet for sensors
- ✓ Rod type (female / male B) & mount (FA/LB/CA)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Compact body: keep the stroke short and avoid side load on the rod.
- check Do not dismantle the threaded front/back covers.
- check Keep speed within the rated range; the TPU bumper absorbs stroke-end energy.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE32X30SB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this cylinder pushes with 402.1 N and pulls with 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. These numbers assume clean, dry air at the specified pressure.
The ACE32X30SB body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder of the same bore, so it fits inside machine guards, under tooling plates, or in gantry arms where a longer cylinder would not. The fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs impact, and the optional -S magnet allows CMSE or DMSE switches for position feedback.
