Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X20
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X20 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 20mm 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 ACED32X20
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACED32X20 delivers 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa in each direction because both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 32 mm bore. The through-rod resists rotation and light side load, and the rear rod end gives you a ready spot for a sensor flag or a symmetric second mount. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s with a fixed TPU bumper at each end.
The ISO 21287 short 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. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome-plated rod, and FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets bolt straight to the standard face. For a real-world figure, keep the working load near 207 N at 0.5 MPa, which is roughly a 21 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.

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 ACED32X20 Is Used
Press-fit staking of small bushings
The 345.6 N both-ways force at 0.5 MPa seats light bushings in aluminium housings, and the 20 mm stroke matches shallow press depth.
Bidirectional push on a rotary indexing table
A rod at each cover lets one cylinder index a dial plate forward and back with equal force, no reverse-side port plumbing penalty.
Flag-driven position check on a gate fixture
Order the -S magnet and run a CMSE or DMSE switch on the body while the rear rod carries a flag for a second confirm point.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X20 the Right Cylinder?
At 345.6 N @0.5 MPa this bore sits between the 25 mm size (206.2 N) and the 40 mm size (571.8 N); step up only if your fixture has room for the larger body. The 20 mm stroke suits short push, clamp or transfer moves. 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. Female M8x1.25 rod thread, 1/8" PT ports, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches if you order it.
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 ACED32X20 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 the rod-side area of the 32 mm bore. Peak rating is 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. A fixed TPU bumper at each cover absorbs end-of-stroke energy. Mounting brackets (FA/FB flange, LB foot, FTC) bolt to the standard face, and the optional -S magnet allows CMSE / DMSE switch mounting.
