Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X100
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X100 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 100mm 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 ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X100
The ACED32X100 is a double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, with a piston rod exiting BOTH covers so the 32 mm bore delivers 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa in either direction - both strokes use the rod-side area, so push and pull are identical. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, while the rear rod can carry a sensor flag on pick-and-place gantries.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome-plated rod saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and guarded cells. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, and at 0.5 MPa the practical working effort is about 207 N - roughly lifting 17 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).

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 | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 484 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 70 kgf |
Double-rod: a rod exits both covers, so output force is equal in both directions (rod-side area used).

Where the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X100 Is Used
Reciprocating test rigs
The through-rod pushes and pulls a fatigue fixture with identical 345.6 N effort in both directions, so test cycles stay symmetric at 30-500 mm/s.
Clamping and counter-clamping
Front rod clamps a machined housing while the rear rod actuates an ejector pin - two working ends from one 100 mm-stroke body in a tight jig.
Flag-driven position feedback
With the optional -S magnet ordered, CMSE / DMSE switches read mid-stroke and end positions on the rear rod of a parts-transfer slide.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X100 the Right Cylinder?
At 345.6 N per side, this 32 mm unit sits between the 25 mm bore (206.2 N) and the 40 mm bore (571.8 N) - step up only if your fixture needs over 350 N of sustained effort. The 100 mm stroke is well inside the 200 mm standard limit for this bore. Note that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost; add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. Mount with FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles, and order the -S code if you need the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches - without -S there is no magnet fitted.
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 ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X100 FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, force is EQUAL both ways: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, on the rod-side area in each direction. At 1.0 MPa the peak is 70.5 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, air filtered to 40 um, speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 100 mm stroke sits within the 200 mm standard limit for this 32 mm bore.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod. A fixed TPU bumper at each end decelerates the piston at stroke ends - it never locks or holds a load, so use a rod lock or pilot check for held positions. Mounting: FA/FB flange, LB foot, FTC, plus I/Y rod knuckles on the M8x1.25 female rod thread. The magnet is the optional -S code; only then can CMSE / DMSE switches be fitted.
