Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X15SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X15SB 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.

About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X15SB
The ACED32X15SB is a double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, with a piston rod leaving BOTH covers so the 32 mm bore delivers 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa in either direction - both strokes work on the rod-side area, so there is no push/pull imbalance. The B code gives a male 12 mm rod end, and the S code means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE switches can be clipped onto the body slots for end-of-stroke sensing. Its short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight fixtures a full-length body cannot reach.
For sizing real work, treat roughly 207 N (about 0.6 of the 345.6 N rating) as the usable force at 0.5 MPa, and expect it to lift about 18 kg vertically once you keep a 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a roller-burnished bore, the S45C rod is hard-chrome plated, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed range 30-500 mm/s, and the 1/8" port depends only on the 32 mm bore.

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 ACED32X15SB Is Used
Press-fit pin insertion
The 15 mm throw matches short press strokes on electronics assembly benches, where 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa seats dowel pins into aluminium housings without overtravel.
Symmetric part clamping
A rod on each cover lets a jig fixture grip a machined bracket from both sides with equal 483.8 N force at 0.7 MPa, keeping the part centered between the jaws.
Gated ejection with position check
On a packaging line gate, the fitted magnet drives a CMSE switch to confirm full retraction before the next carton indexes, at conveyor speeds inside the 30-500 mm/s band.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X15SB the Right Cylinder?
At 15 mm stroke this is a short-throw clamp or ejector size: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, equal both ways. Step down to ACED25 (206.2 N at 0.5 MPa) for lighter tooling, or up to ACED40 (571.8 N) when the part mass grows. Because a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and I/Y rod knuckles suit the male thread; bore 32 takes a 1/8" port and up to 200 mm standard stroke.
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 ACED32X15SB FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design puts a piston rod through both covers, so every stroke uses the rod-side area of the 32 mm bore. Output is 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, identical extend and retract, with a maximum of 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
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 gantry frames. Because this model carries the optional -S magnet, CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots for stroke-position feedback. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, but the cylinder never holds a load when air is lost - use a rod lock or pilot check for that.
