The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE32X90 is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 90mm 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 ACE32X90 is a double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, with a 32 mm bore and 90 mm stroke. Its hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits tight jigs and guards where a full-length unit will not.
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.1 N and pulls 345.6 N, enough to lift about 24 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and the optional -S magnet is required before any CMSE or DMSE sensor can be fitted.

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.
Clamp small parts in a CNC fixture where the 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa holds a bracket steady during drilling, and the short body clears the spindle guard.
Push a glue tab into place on a folding carton line, using the 90 mm stroke to reach into a narrow guide rail without extra mounting length.
Act as a stop gate on a light conveyor, extending to block a tote and retracting to let it pass, with the TPU bumper softening each cycle at 30-500 mm/s.
For lighter work, the ACE25X90 pushes 245.4 N at 0.5 MPa, while the ACE40X90 pushes 628.3 N if you need more force. This 32 mm bore is a middle ground for compact automation, and the 90 mm stroke stays within the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore.
Since this model has no -S code, there is no magnet fitted, so plan for CMSE or DMSE sensors only if you order the optional -S version. Mount with FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, or SDB pivot brackets that bolt to the ISO 21287 face.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, push is 402.1 N and pull is 345.6 N. At 0.7 MPa, push rises to 563 N and pull to 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), with proof pressure at 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The ISO 21287 compact design saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits tight spaces. Sensors like CMSE or DMSE require the optional -S magnet, which is not fitted on this standard model, so order the -S code if you need position sensing.
