The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X175B 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 ACED32X175B is a double acting, double-rod ISO 21287 compact cylinder from AirTAC: a 12 mm hard-chrome S45C rod exits both covers, so thrust is identical on every stroke - 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction. The B code gives a male rod thread on both ends, and a fixed TPU bumper at each cover absorbs end-of-stroke shock. With a 32 mm bore and 175 mm stroke it sits inside the 200 mm standard range for this bore, so it ships as a catalogue item.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which makes this model a fit for tight sliding doors, synchronized tooling and guarded gantries. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag on a fixture. Running a 0.6 rule of thumb on the 345.6 N rating, plan for roughly 207 N of real work at 0.5 MPa - about 21 kg of vertical load. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um at 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.
| 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).

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 twin 12 mm rods push a forming mandrel from both ends of a small electronics press, giving 345.6 N from each face at 0.5 MPa so the tooling stays balanced through the 175 mm working stroke.
Mounted alongside a packaging line belt, the male-threaded rods drive a diverting gate left or right with equal 483.8 N force at 0.7 MPa, and the rear rod doubles as a mount for a position flag.
In a compact inspection gantry, the symmetric through-rod carries a camera bracket up and down over 175 mm with identical force both ways, fitting a head section about half the length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
At 345.6 N per direction this bore covers clamping and transfer duties up to roughly 35 kgf; step down to the 25 mm bore (206.2 N) for lighter pick-and-place, or up to the 40 mm bore (571.8 N) when the part weight grows. Both strokes use the rod-side area, so no direction is weaker. If the load must stay put when air is lost, pair the cylinder with a rod lock or pilot check - the through-rod itself does not hold position. Mount on the ISO 21287 face with FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles, and order PT ports as coded; add the -S option only if you need CMSE / DMSE switch sensing.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area, so force is equal either way: 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. For sizing, treat about 207 N (roughly 21 kg vertical) as the practical working load at 0.5 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome rod on both ends, 1/8" PT ports, male rod threads (B code), fixed TPU bumpers at both covers and a 30-500 mm/s speed range. Its short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. Switches are possible only if you order the optional -S magnet version, which accepts CMSE / DMSE sensors; this model without the S code has no magnet fitted.
