Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X30
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X30 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 30mm 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 ACED32X30
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED32X30 runs a 32 mm bore with a 30 mm stroke and a 12 mm rod leaving BOTH covers. Because each side works on the rod-side area, output is identical in either direction: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa. The through-rod resists rotation and light side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tool.
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 guarded cells. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, the hard-anodized aluminium body rides on an S45C hard-chrome rod, and a practical rule of thumb is that roughly 207 N (about 21 kg of push) is a comfortable working load at 0.5 MPa. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s over 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.
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 ACED32X30 Is Used
Symmetric part clamping
Clamp a machined housing between two fixtures using the same 345.6 N force from either rod end, so the jig works regardless of which side actuates.
Pusher on a narrow conveyor frame
The 30 mm stroke and short body fit between conveyor side rails, with the rear rod driving a flag past a CMSE switch when the -S magnet is ordered.
Two-sided eject on an assembly bench
Eject a finished bushing from a press die in one direction, then use the opposite rod to kick the empty carrier back - equal force both ways.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X30 the Right Cylinder?
At 345.6 N per direction, this bore sits between the 25 mm size (206.2 N) and the 40 mm size (571.8 N) at 0.5 MPa, so pick the 25 mm for lighter clamps and the 40 mm when you need roughly 65% more force. The 30 mm stroke is well inside the 200 mm standard range for bore 32. Remember the piston will drift if air is lost - for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. Mount with FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets, and if you need position sensing, order the -S code: without it there is no magnet and no CMSE / DMSE switching.
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 ACED32X30 FAQ
Yes - it is a double-rod cylinder, so both strokes use the rod-side area and force is equal either way: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa. At 1.0 MPa the maximum output reaches 70.5 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof rating, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 build saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which helps in tight guards and gantries. A fixed TPU bumper at each cover softens end-of-stroke impact but does not hold or brake a load. Mounting uses FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets with I/Y rod knuckles, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches - it is not fitted unless you order it.
