Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X125
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X125 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 125mm 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 ACED32X125
The ACED32X125 is a double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287 with a piston rod leaving BOTH covers, so the 32 mm bore delivers the same 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa (483.8 N at 0.7 MPa) on every stroke - there is no weaker pull side. The through-rod resists rotation and light side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tool. Its hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight jigs and guarding where a full-length body will not fit.
For sizing, plan on roughly 207 N of real work at 0.5 MPa instead of the full rating - about 10 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The S45C hard-chrome rod runs at 30-500 mm/s, a fixed TPU bumper takes the end-of-stroke hit at each cover, and 1/8" ports feed air filtered to 40 um. If you need position feedback, order the -S code: only then is the magnet fitted for CMSE / DMSE switches. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face.

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 ACED32X125 Is Used
Symmetric weld-fixture clamping
The equal 345.6 N force in both directions lets one ACED32X125 clamp and release a steel bracket with identical grip, inside a jig too short for an ISO 15552 body.
Push-pull parts transfer
A 125 mm through-rod slides small machined housings between two conveyor stops; the rear rod carries a flag for a CMSE switch when the -S magnet is ordered.
Lift-and-lower ejector station
With about 10 kg of vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin, the double rod keeps an ejector plate square while raising plastic trays off a forming mold.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X125 the Right Cylinder?
At 345.6 N per direction this bore suits clamping and transfer duties up to about 20 kg of moving mass. Step down to the ACED25X125 (206.2 N at 0.5 MPa) for lighter fixtures, or up to the ACED40X125 (571.8 N) when the part is heavier. Note that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. Choose the female M8x1.25 rod thread as coded here, or add B for a male thread, and pick FA/FB, LB or FTC mounting to match your fixture.
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 ACED32X125 FAQ
Yes - because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area. At 0.5 MPa you get 345.6 N each way, at 0.7 MPa 483.8 N each way, and the maximum at 1.0 MPa is 70.5 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and temperature -20 to +70 C.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and a fixed TPU bumper at each cover absorbs end-of-stroke energy. Sensors are possible only with the optional -S magnet code, which enables CMSE / DMSE switches; the base ACED32X125 has no magnet. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets mount directly on the standard face.
