About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X15B
The ACED32X15B is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the ISO 21287 short-body format, with a 32 mm bore and a 15 mm stroke. A 12 mm hard-chrome-plated S45C 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 every stroke, because both sides work on the rod-side area. The B code gives a male rod thread, and the air port is 1/8" PT.
The hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures, guards and pick stations. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, and the through-rod resists rotation so the far rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tool. As a working rule, plan on roughly 207 N of real work at 0.5 MPa (about 60% of the rating), which is a vertical lift of around 21 kg with a 2:1 margin. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at speeds of 30-500 mm/s.

Where the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X15B Is Used
Short-stroke clamp on a CNC fixture
The 15 mm stroke clamps a machined aluminium bracket in a milling jig, with 345.6 N of equal clamping force in both directions and a body short enough to fit inside the fixture plate.
Push-pull part transfer between conveyors
The through-rod lets a pusher pad on the front rod and a guide on the rear rod move small cartons sideways at up to 500 mm/s, with identical force either way.
Ejector on an electronics test station
The rear rod carries a flag for a CMSE or DMSE switch on the -S variant, confirming the PCB magazine was ejected, while the front rod clears the nest in 15 mm.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X15B the Right Cylinder?
At 15 mm stroke this bore is aimed at short clamp, eject and transfer moves where a full-length body will not fit. If your load needs less than about 200 N at 0.5 MPa, the ACED25X15B (206.2 N) is the lighter option; if you need more, step up to the ACED40X15B (571.8 N). For longer runs, bore 32 accepts standard strokes up to 200 mm. Mounting drops onto the ISO 21287 face with FA/FB flange or LB foot brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles. Note that this cylinder drifts when air is lost - for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. If you need CMSE or DMSE switch position feedback, order the -S variant, since the magnet is optional and this base model has none.
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 ACED32X15B FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal in both directions: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, on both the push and pull stroke. The maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 70.5 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed spans 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and FA/FB flange or LB foot brackets bolt straight to the standard face. Position sensing requires the optional -S magnet code - this base ACED32X15B has no magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches only work if you order the -S version. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock.
