About the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE32X40SB
This AirTAC ACE32X40SB is a double acting compact cylinder that uses air to both extend and retract its 12 mm rod. With a 32 mm bore it delivers 402.1 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it a solid choice for light to medium automation tasks.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight jigs and guarded areas. The S code means the optional magnet is fitted, so you can mount CMSE or DMSE switches for position sensing. For real work, plan on about 241 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 25 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE32X40SB Is Used
Fixture Clamping
Use in a CNC fixture to clamp small parts with 402.1 N force at 0.5 MPa, where the compact body fits under a workholding table.
Package Stop
Mount on a conveyor to stop or divert lightweight boxes; the 40 mm stroke provides quick action and the TPU bumper absorbs impact.
Assembly Press
In a benchtop assembly press, this cylinder can push small bearings or pins into housings with reliable force and the optional sensor feedback.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE32X40SB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing, compare this 32 mm bore with the smaller 25 mm bore that pushes 245.4 N, or step up to the 40 mm bore for 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa. The 40 mm stroke suits short transfer slides and clamping applications. Since the magnet is fitted, order CMSE or DMSE switches separately. 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 include FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, and FTC brackets.
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 ACE32X40SB FAQ
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. The port is 1/8" and the rod is 12 mm with a male thread.
The body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits in confined machine areas. It has a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb end-of-stroke energy, and the optional -S magnet allows CMSE or DMSE switches for position detection.
