Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X20SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X20SB 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 ACED32X20SB
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACED32X20SB delivers the same 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa (483.8 N at 0.7 MPa) on every stroke, since both faces work on the rod-side area. The male rod thread from the B code bolts straight to tooling, and the through-rod resists rotation and side load while the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s.
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. A hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome-plated rod and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends keeps it serviceable. Because the S code is fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches can be mounted along the body slots; plan on roughly 207 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 21 kg vertically 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 ACED32X20SB Is Used
Symmetric clamp fixtures
The equal 345.6 N output both ways lets one cylinder push a part into a CNC jig and retract it with identical force, no direction derating needed.
Packaging pusher arms
A 20 mm stroke and 30-500 mm/s speed range suit short, fast divert moves on bottling or carton lines, with the TPU bumper absorbing each end stop.
Position-flagged transfer slides
With the fitted -S magnet, CMSE or DMSE switches read both end positions on a gantry slide, while the rear rod carries a mechanical flag for vision checks.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X20SB the Right Cylinder?
At 345.6 N @0.5 MPa this 32 mm bore suits clamping and positioning loads up to roughly 35 kgf; go down to the 25 mm bore (206.2 N) for lighter fixtures or up to the 40 mm bore (571.8 N) when the work needs more muscle. The 20 mm stroke is well inside the 200 mm standard range for this bore. Note that with air lost the piston drifts freely - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must be held. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the 1/8" PT ports keep plumbing simple.
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 ACED32X20SB FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both strokes, so output 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), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. FA/FB flanges, LB foot and FTC brackets bolt to the standard face, and the male rod thread takes I or Y knuckles. The S code on this model carries the magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be clipped into the body slots for end-position sensing.
