About the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE32X30SH
This AirTAC ACE32X30SH is a double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, with a 32 mm bore and a 30 mm stroke. It delivers 402.1 N of push force and 345.6 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it a solid choice for light to medium automation tasks. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight machine frames and guarding where a longer cylinder simply will not go.
A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs impact, and the hard-anodized aluminium body with a hard-chrome plated S45C steel rod resists wear in continuous cycling. This model includes the optional -S magnet, so you can mount CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches for position sensing. As a practical guide, plan for about 241 N of real working force at 0.5 MPa, which equals lifting roughly 25 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE32X30SH Is Used
Fixture Clamping
Use this ACE32X30SH to clamp small parts in a CNC vise or a dedicated workholding fixture. The 402.1 N push force at 0.5 MPa holds aluminum or plastic components securely during drilling or light milling operations.
Pneumatic Stop Gate
Mount this cylinder on a conveyor line to raise a stop gate that diverts or holds boxes. The 30 mm stroke is enough to lift a lightweight gate, and the compact body fits between conveyor rails without protruding into walkways.
Carton Ejector
In a packaging cell, this cylinder can push finished cartons off a short transfer section onto a chute. Its 345.6 N pull force retracts the pusher quickly, and the fixed TPU bumper prevents jarring at the end of each cycle.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE32X30SH the Right Cylinder?
When sizing, compare this 32 mm bore against a 25 mm bore that pushes 245.4 N at 0.5 MPa, or step up to a 40 mm bore that pushes 628.3 N at the same pressure. For a 30 mm stroke at moderate speeds, the 32 mm bore offers a balanced force-to-size ratio for compact jigs and fixtures. Remember that this cylinder does not hold its position when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, so for a held load, add a rod lock or a pilot check valve. The 1/8" port matches common flow-control fittings, and the female M8x1.25 rod thread accepts standard clevis or rod-end accessories. Mounting options include FA/FB flanges, LB foot brackets, CA/CB clevises, and SDB pivots, all compatible with the ISO 21287 face.
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 ACE32X30SH FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 402.1 N and the pull force is 345.6 N. At 0.7 MPa, push rises to 563 N and pull to 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf. The operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
Yes, this model includes the optional -S magnet, which is fitted to the piston. With this magnet, you can mount CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches to detect the piston position. Without the -S code, no magnet is present, so sensors would not work. The cylinder itself is a compact ISO 21287 design, about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and uses a fixed TPU bumper at both ends, not an adjustable cushion.
