The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X175S 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.
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED32X175S pushes a 32 mm bore through a 175 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers. Because each side works on the rod-side area, output is identical in both directions: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa. The through-rod resists rotation and modest side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate. The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated rod runs at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-500 mm/s.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and guarding where a full-length body will not fit. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, and the fitted -S magnet lets you add CMSE or DMSE switches for end-of-stroke and mid-stroke signals. At 0.5 MPa the 345.6 N rating translates to roughly 35 kgf, so plan on lifting about 17 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin, or budget around 207 N for real work.

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 drives a hot-glue head on a packaging line with equal 345.6 N force on both the dispense and return strokes, keeping cycle timing symmetric at 30-500 mm/s.
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches signal retract, extend and intermediate positions on a small-parts gantry, while the rear rod carries a second fixture plate.
About 207 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa suits light press-fitting of small bushings and dowels in electronics assembly, with the 175 mm stroke clearing tall fixtures.
Size both ways: if 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa is more than the job needs, the bore 25 ACED gives 206.2 N; if the load needs more, step up to bore 40 for 571.8 N. The 175 mm stroke sits inside the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for bore 32, so no made-to-order build is required. This model carries the -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches can be clamped straight into the body slots. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - for a held load, pair it with a rod lock or pilot check valve. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I and Y rod knuckles bolt to the standard ISO 21287 face, and the female M8x1.25 rod thread accepts standard tooling studs.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both strokes, 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. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed is 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, freeing space in tight guarding. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches clamp into the body slots for position signals. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC mounting bolts to the standard face.
