About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X25
The ACED32X25 is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the ISO 21287 short-body format: a 32 mm bore and 25 mm stroke with a 12 mm rod leaving both covers, so output force is equal in both directions (345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa either way). The hard-anodized aluminium body with a hard-chrome-plated S45C rod runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock.
Because the body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it slots into tight jigs, guards and gantries where a full-length cylinder will not fit. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the back-end rod can carry a sensor flag. For planning, treat roughly 0.6 of the 345.6 N rating as usable work at 0.5 MPa, which is about 21 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The magnet is optional: order the -S code to enable CMSE / DMSE switches; this base model has no magnet fitted.

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 ACED32X25 Is Used
Symmetric press-fit station
Equal 345.6 N force in both directions lets one ACED32X25 press a bearing into a housing on the forward stroke and eject the finished part on the return, inside a compact jig head.
Gantry pick-and-place with position feedback
The short ISO 21287 body fits under low gantry beams, and ordering the -S magnet allows CMSE / DMSE switches on both strokes so the PLC confirms part present and part gone.
Reciprocating conveyor diverter
A rod on each cover gives a symmetric push-push linkage that resists rotation as the 25 mm stroke kicks cartons between two lanes at up to 500 mm/s.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X25 the Right Cylinder?
At 345.6 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, the 32 mm bore suits clamping and positioning loads in the 20-25 kg class; step down to the 25 mm bore (206.2 N at 0.5 MPa) for lighter fixtures or up to the 40 mm bore (571.8 N at 0.5 MPa) for heavier tooling. The 25 mm stroke is well inside the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a standard build. Note that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if a load must be held. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the optional -S magnet pairs with CMSE / DMSE switches. Female M8x1.25 rod thread, PT ports.
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 ACED32X25 FAQ
Yes. Because a 12 mm rod exits both covers, 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 in both directions, with a maximum of 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, ideal for tight guards and gantries. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt straight to the mounting face. Position sensing needs the optional -S magnet code - this base model has no magnet, so order ACED32X25S to run CMSE / DMSE switches.
