Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE32X40S
The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE32X40S is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 40mm 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 ACE32X40S
This AirTAC ACE32X40S is a double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, with a 32 mm bore and a 40 mm stroke. Its hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight machine frames where a full-length unit will not. The fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs impact, and the S45C hard-chrome rod resists wear in continuous cycling.
At 0.5 MPa this unit pushes with 402.1 N and pulls with 345.6 N, so a practical safe working load is about 24 kg (roughly 0.6 times the push force) for real applications. The optional -S magnet is already fitted here, enabling CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches for position sensing. The 1/8" port and M8x1.25 female rod thread match standard ISO 21287 accessories.

Where the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE32X40S Is Used
Fixture Clamping
Clamp small parts in a CNC fixture with 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, fitting into tight spaces where a longer cylinder would interfere with tool paths.
Pneumatic Stop
Act as a stop pin on a light conveyor line, extending to block a product and retracting to let it pass, with the fixed TPU bumper handling the impact.
Guard Door Interlock
Operate a safety guard interlock on a packaging machine, using the short body to fit inside the guard frame and the optional -S magnet to confirm the door position.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE32X40S the Right Cylinder?
For lighter work, an ACE25X40 with a 25 mm bore delivers 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to an ACE40X40 gives 628.3 N push for heavier loads. This 32 mm bore is a balanced middle ground for jigs and fixtures that need moderate force in a short envelope. Since the magnet is fitted, pair it with a CMSE or DMSE switch for reliable end-of-stroke detection. Mounting options include FA/FB flanges, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, and FTC brackets, all bolting directly to the ISO 21287 face. Remember, this cylinder does not hold its position if air pressure is lost; use a rod lock or pilot check valve for load holding.
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 ACE32X40S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 402.1 N and the pull force is 345.6 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 563.0 N and the pull force is 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), and the speed range is 30-500 mm/s.
Yes, the ACE32X40S is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder, with a body about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, making it ideal for tight spaces. It comes with the optional -S magnet fitted, which allows you to mount CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches for position sensing. The fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke energy, but it does not lock or hold a load.
