The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X10S 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.
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACED32X10S pushes with equal force in each direction because both strokes work on the rod-side area: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa. The 10 mm stroke suits short clamp-and-release moves, and the through-rod resists rotation and light side load while the rear rod end can carry a sensor flag. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s over an operating pressure of 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
The body is a hard-anodized aluminium ISO 21287 compact barrel with an S45C hard-chrome-plated rod and a fixed TPU bumper at each end. Its short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures. This S-coded unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke signalling, and the 1/8" port keeps plumbing simple. At 0.5 MPa the usable push is roughly 207 N once you plan for a 0.6 derating factor.

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 | 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).
| ACED | ISO 21287 compact cylinder (double-rod). |
|---|---|
| 32 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×10 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSE / DMSE sensors (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
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.
The 10 mm stroke is ideal for swing-away clamps and part-hold-downs on a 3-axis milling fixture, where 345.6 N per side holds aluminium blanks without deforming them.
Because the -S magnet is fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm extend and retract on a pallet ejector, and the rear rod drives a flag for a photo-eye check.
Equal 345.6 N output in both directions lets a leak-test station push a sealing plate onto a port and retract it with identical force, keeping cycle loads balanced.
Size up or down from here: a 25 mm bore gives 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa, while a 40 mm bore raises that to 571.8 N. If your part weighs under about 17 kg, this cylinder lifts it vertically with a 2:1 margin at 0.5 MPa. Note that with no rod lock or pilot check the piston will drift if air is lost, so add one for held loads. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt to the ISO 21287 face; the female M8x1.25 rod thread takes standard accessories directly.
Quick checklist
As a double-rod cylinder the force is equal in both directions: 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. Both strokes use the rod-side area because a 12 mm rod exits each cover.
The ISO 21287 body is hard-anodized aluminium about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end to soften end-of-stroke contact. The S in the model code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be mounted in the body slots for stroke-end detection.
