The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X150 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 150mm 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 ACED32X150 is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the ISO 21287 short-body format: a 32 mm bore and a 150 mm stroke in a housing that saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. A piston rod exits both covers, so output force is equal in both directions - 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa on every stroke, because both sides work on the rod-side area. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the free back-end rod can carry a sensor flag or drive a second tool.
The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a roller-burnished bore, the S45C rod is hard-chrome plated, and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends absorb end-of-stroke energy. Run it on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air filtered to 40 um at 30-500 mm/s. For sizing, plan on roughly 207 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which is about 21 kg of horizontal push; vertically the rod-side area equates to about 35 kg, so with a 2:1 margin it lifts about 17 kg. Note that it drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check for held loads. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches.

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 through-rod lets a fixture clamp from both ends of the same piston, giving equal 345.6 N grip on a machined housing without a second cylinder.
A 150 mm stroke at 30-500 mm/s moves cartons across a conveyor lane; the back-end rod carries a flag for the optional CMSE switch when -S is ordered.
With about 17 kg of vertical lift at a 2:1 margin, the double rod guides a small pallet elevator in a tight gantry where a full-length profile cylinder will not fit.
At 345.6 N per direction, the 32 mm bore suits clamping and transfer work up to about 207 N of practical load at 0.5 MPa; step down to the 25 mm bore (206.2 N at 0.5 MPa) for lighter duty or up to the 40 mm bore (571.8 N) when you need more grip. The 150 mm stroke sits inside the 200 mm standard range for this bore, so it ships as a catalogue item. Choose the female M8x1.25 rod thread as coded here, or add B for a male thread; add -S only if you want CMSE / DMSE switch detection, since the magnet is an option, not standard.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design puts a rod on each cover, so both strokes use the rod-side area. Output is 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, with a maximum of 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow guards and tight fixtures. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy; it is not adjustable and does not hold a load, so use a rod lock or pilot check where position must be kept. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC mounts bolt to the standard face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches.
