Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X30B
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X30B 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 ACED32X30B
A double acting compact actuator built to ISO 21287, the ACED32X30B pushes a 12 mm rod out of BOTH covers, so the 32 mm bore delivers 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa in either direction - both strokes work on the rod-side area. The B code gives a male rod thread (M8x1.25) on each end, and a fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends of the 30 mm stroke. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with speed from 30-500 mm/s.
The short hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight fixtures and guarded cells. Because the rod-side area is roughly 207 N of practical work at 0.5 MPa, plan tooling loads around that figure. Vertically, the same force balances about 35 kg, so with a 2:1 margin it lifts roughly 17 kg. The through-rod also resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. Note: no magnet is fitted on this code - order the -S variant if you need CMSE / DMSE switch position sensing.

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 ACED32X30B Is Used
Reciprocating transfer on SMT pallet rails
The 30 mm stroke shunts PCB pallets between two test nests; equal 345.6 N force both ways means the return stroke pushes just as hard, no spring return needed.
Symmetric clamping in a machining fixture
A rod on each cover clamps a housing from two sides with matched 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, keeping the part centered without a second cylinder.
Cam-follower flag on packaging lines
Mount a flag on the rear rod to trip a proximity sensor; the front rod does the 30 mm push while the back rod reports position - add the -S code for CMSE / DMSE switches instead.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X30B the Right Cylinder?
At 345.6 N per direction (0.5 MPa) this bore sits between the 25 mm frame (206.2 N) and the 40 mm frame (571.8 N) - step down for lighter pick-and-place, up if you need 800 N class at 0.7 MPa. The 30 mm stroke is well inside the 200 mm standard range for bore 32, so it ships as a catalog item. Remember a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost; add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and I/Y rod knuckles suit the male-threaded ends.
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 ACED32X30B FAQ
Yes - it is a double-rod design, so both strokes use the rod-side area of the 32 mm bore: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, identical push and pull. At 1.0 MPa the peak is 70.5 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um.
The ISO 21287 short body cuts mounting length by roughly half versus an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow gantries and guarded slides. Each end of the 30 mm travel lands on a fixed TPU bumper that absorbs the stop; it is not adjustable and will not hold a load if air pressure drops. Mounting is via FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets on the standard ISO 21287 face, and the magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches is only present when you order the -S code.
