The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X175 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 175mm 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 ACED32X175 is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the ISO 21287 short-body format. A 12 mm hard-chrome-plated S45C 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, and the through-rod resists rotation and side load while the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. The body is hard-anodized aluminium with roller-burnished bore, and fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke energy at both covers.
Because the short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, this 175 mm stroke unit slots into tight jigs, guarding and gantry frames that a full-length cylinder cannot reach. For sizing, treat roughly 0.6 of the 345.6 N figure as usable work at 0.5 MPa, which is about 21 kg of vertical lift capability with margin. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s, operating pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). Note there is no magnet fitted on this code; order the optional -S version if you need CMSE / DMSE switch detection.

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).

| 32 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×175 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSE / DMSE sensors (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
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 gives a symmetric mount on both faces of a pick-and-place slide, with equal 345.6 N force whether pushing parts into a nest or retracting the carrier at 30-500 mm/s.
A rod on each end lets one ACED32X175 actuate two opposing punches or clamp pads in a small electronics fixture, delivering 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa in both directions simultaneously.
On a packaging machine gate, the rear rod carries a proximity flag while the front rod does the work; order the -S code to enable CMSE / DMSE switches for end-of-stroke confirmation.
At 345.6 N per direction, the 32 mm bore 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), so pick 32 when your clamp or transfer load falls in the 200-350 N band. The 175 mm stroke is within the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so no made-to-order build is required. Choose the female M8x1.25 rod thread as coded here, or add B for a male thread. Mount with FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles on the ISO 21287 face. Remember this cylinder drifts when air is lost; for a held load pair it with a rod lock or pilot check valve.
Quick checklist
Yes. Because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area, 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 pressure 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 size applies at this 32 mm bore.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so a 175 mm stroke still fits shallow machine frames. Fixed TPU bumpers at both ends absorb end-of-stroke shock. This base code has no magnet, so no switch can be read; order the optional -S magnet version to run CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches along the body slots.
