Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X100S
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X100S 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 ACED32X100S
A double acting compact cylinder with a piston rod leaving both covers, the ACED32X100S pushes and pulls with the same 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa (483.8 N at 0.7 MPa) because each stroke works on the rod-side area. The 32 mm bore runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), with speeds of 30-500 mm/s and a fixed TPU bumper at each end to soften the stroke terminations.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is an ISO 21287 short build that saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight guarding and fixture plates. The through-rod resists rotation and light side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. This S-coded unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke signals. At 0.5 MPa the rod-side area supports roughly 35 kg of vertical lift, and halving that for a 2:1 margin means it lifts about 17 kg vertically with confidence.

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 ACED32X100S Is Used
Fixture clamping with position signal
Clamping aluminium extrusions on a CNC loading jig: 345.6 N of clamping force in both directions, with the fitted magnet driving a CMSE switch to confirm the clamp is fully seated before machining starts.
Pusher on a packaging line
Kicking cartons sideways off a conveyor at up to 500 mm/s. The double rod keeps the pusher plate square under side load, and the TPU bumpers quiet the ends of every stroke across a 100 mm travel.
Symmetric part transfer
Lifting about 17 kg of die-cast fittings vertically between two pallet stations, with the rear rod carrying a DMSE sensor flag so the PLC sees both position ends without extra hardware.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X100S the Right Cylinder?
Size both ways: a 25 mm bore ACED gives 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 40 mm bore raises it to 571.8 N, so pick the 32 mm when your load sits between those two. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - for a held vertical load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. The 100 mm stroke sits well inside the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, and FA/FB flanges, LB feet, FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face. Female M8x1.25 rod thread, PT ports, and the fitted -S magnet ready for CMSE / DMSE switches.
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 ACED32X100S FAQ
Yes - this is a double-rod cylinder, so a rod exits both covers and every stroke uses the rod-side area. At 0.5 MPa you get 345.6 N, at 0.7 MPa you get 483.8 N, both ways, and the maximum rating at 1.0 MPa is 70.5 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, running on air filtered to 40 um at 30-500 mm/s between -20 and +70 C.
The hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, freeing space inside guards and fixture plates. The S in ACED32X100S means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots for end-of-stroke detection. Mounting is via FA/FB flanges, LB feet, FTC brackets and I/Y rod knuckles on the standard ISO 21287 face, with a female M8x1.25 rod thread and 1/8" PT ports.
