Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X100B
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X100B 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 ACED32X100B
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACED32X100B delivers 345.6 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, because both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 32 mm bore. The B code gives a male rod thread on each end, and the 100 mm stroke sits well inside the 200 mm standard range for this bore. The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures a full-length body cannot reach.
The through-rod resists rotation and light side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, and the hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated rod stands up to continuous cycling at 30-500 mm/s. For sizing, treat roughly 207 N (about 21 kgf) as the usable working force at 0.5 MPa, which lifts around 17 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note that no magnet is fitted on this code; order the -S version if you need CMSE / DMSE switch positions.

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 ACED32X100B Is Used
Symmetric clamp fixtures
The male threaded rods on both ends let a CNC fixture clamp from two sides with one cylinder, applying 345.6 N per side at 0.5 MPa for balanced part holding.
Pusher stations on packaging lines
A 100 mm stroke at 30-500 mm/s pushes cartons off a conveyor, and the rear rod can drive a flag for a simple position check.
Reciprocating slide drives
Equal force both ways makes the through-rod ideal for a short-stroke slide that indexes a small tray back and forth between two hard stops.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X100B the Right Cylinder?
At 345.6 N per side at 0.5 MPa this bore sits between the 25 mm size (206.2 N) and the 40 mm size (571.8 N), so step down for lighter clamps or up for heavier presses. The 100 mm stroke is standard; strokes up to 200 mm are available for bore 32 without a custom order. Mount with FA/FB flanges, LB feet or FTC brackets, and add I or Y rod knuckles on the male threaded ends. The piston drifts when air is lost, so use a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put.
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 ACED32X100B FAQ
Yes, force is identical both ways because a rod exits each cover and both strokes use the rod-side area of the 32 mm bore. At 0.5 MPa you get 345.6 N, at 0.7 MPa you get 483.8 N, and the maximum at 1.0 MPa is 70.5 kgf (about 691 N). Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end to absorb end-of-stroke shock. This code has no magnet, so switches cannot be read; order the -S version to enable CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches. Mounting options include FA/FB flanges, LB feet, FTC brackets and I/Y rod knuckles.
