The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X125S 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.
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED32X125S pushes a 32 mm bore through a 125 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers, so thrust is identical on every stroke: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa. The through-rod on the rear cover resists rotation and light side load and can carry a sensor flag, while the fitted -S magnet lets CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches report position along the body slots.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated rod runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, and fixed TPU bumpers absorb the end-of-stroke shock at both ends. Because the short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it slots into tight jigs and guarding. In practice, plan for roughly 207 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 10 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

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).

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.
A rod on each cover lets one cylinder eject a machined aluminum housing on the forward stroke and retract the nest on the return, with 345.6 N available either way so no second cylinder is needed.
The fitted -S magnet plus CMSE or DMSE switches confirm extend and retract on a 125 mm transfer stroke, while the rear through-rod carries a flag for a second sensing point.
The compact body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits under the conveyor frame and pushes about 10 kg of diverted cartons vertically with a 2:1 margin.
At 345.6 N per direction, this 32 mm size sits between the 25 mm bore (206.2 N at 0.5 MPa) and the 40 mm bore (571.8 N at 0.5 MPa); step up if your fixture needs more margin, down for lighter clamping. The 125 mm stroke is well inside the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so no made-to-order build is required. The female M8x1.25 rod thread on both ends takes standard rod knuckles (I or Y), and FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face. Remember that with air lost the piston drifts freely - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both strokes, 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. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 1/8" port depends only on the 32 mm bore.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is a compact ISO 21287 build that saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, freeing space in tight guards and gantries. A fixed TPU bumper at each cover absorbs end-of-stroke energy without adjustment, and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches in the body slots. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles mount directly to the standard face.
