Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X15S
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X15S is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 15mm 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 ACED32X15S
The ACED32X15S is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the ISO 21287 short-body format. A 12 mm rod exits both covers, so the 32 mm bore delivers an identical 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa (483.8 N at 0.7 MPa) on every stroke, in either direction, because both sides work on the rod-side area. The through-rod also resists rotation and light side load, and the free back-end rod is a handy place to carry a sensor flag.
The hard-anodized aluminium body pairs with an S45C hard-chrome-plated rod and a fixed TPU bumper at each end to absorb end-of-stroke shock. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clamped straight onto the body for end-of-travel signals. In practical terms, 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa means roughly 207 N of usable work force, which lifts about 21 kg vertically - and with a 2:1 margin, plan on around 10 kg of real vertical load. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).

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 ACED32X15S Is Used
Fixture clamping on CNC jigs
The symmetric through-rod clamps a machined aluminium bracket from both sides with an equal 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, and the short body fits inside the jig frame where a longer profile cylinder cannot.
Position-flagged ejector on an assembly line
The -S magnet lets a DMSE switch confirm the 15 mm eject stroke on a small electronics housing, while the back-end rod carries a second flag for a redundant ready signal.
Push-off station on a packaging conveyor
About 207 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa nudges cartons off a 300 mm belt at 30-500 mm/s, with the TPU bumper quieting each end-of-stroke contact.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X15S the Right Cylinder?
At 32 mm bore this sits between the 25 mm size (206.2 N at 0.5 MPa) and the 40 mm size (571.8 N at 0.5 MPa), so pick it when a job needs roughly 350 N but a full-size bore will not fit. The 15 mm stroke is well inside the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a standard build. FA/FB flanges, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt directly to the ISO 21287 face. Note that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. PT ports as standard, G thread on request.
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 ACED32X15S 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 every stroke, using the rod-side area. At 1.0 MPa the maximum output is 70.5 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof rating.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight guards and gantries. This ACED32X15S already carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets bolt straight on.
