The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X10B is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 10mm 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.
The ACED32X10B is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the ISO 21287 short-body format, with a 32 mm bore and a 10 mm stroke. A 12 mm piston rod exits both covers, so the output force is equal in both directions - 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa on either stroke, because both sides work on the rod-side area. The B code gives a male rod thread at each end, and the air port is 1/8" PT. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, running at 30-500 mm/s.
The hard-anodized aluminium body pairs with an S45C hard-chrome-plated rod, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke impact. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which makes this 10 mm stroke version a good fit for clamping nests and slide fixtures where every millimetre of length counts. For usable sizing, plan on roughly 207 N of real work at 0.5 MPa - about 21 kg held vertically with a 2:1 margin. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches; this unit has no magnet fitted.

The 10 mm stroke and 345.6 N both-ways force suit short-travel press or clamp nests on electronics assembly benches, where the compact body fits under a shallow guard.
With a rod at each cover, the cylinder can push a small indexing slide from either side with equal 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, keeping the mount symmetric on compact transfer units.
On machining fixtures, the rear rod can carry an ejector plate while the front rod does the work, all within the 50%-shorter length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
At 345.6 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, the 32 mm bore sits between the 25 mm bore (206.2 N) and the 40 mm bore (571.8 N) - step down for lighter clamps, up when the tooling needs nearly double the thrust. The 10 mm stroke is well inside the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a standard build. The through-rod resists rotation and lets the rear rod carry a fixture or sensor flag, but the piston will drift if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check where a load must be held. Order the -S code if CMSE / DMSE position sensing is needed, and match FA, LB or FTC mounting to your fixture.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area, so force is equal both ways: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. A practical working figure is about 207 N, roughly 21 kg held vertically with a 2:1 margin. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, port 1/8" PT, rod 12 mm with male thread (B code).
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits tight jigs and gantries. Position sensing requires the optional -S magnet code - this ACED32X10B has no magnet fitted, so no switch can be mounted unless you order -S, which then accepts CMSE or DMSE switches. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC mounting bolts to the standard ISO 21287 face.
