The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X30SB 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.
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED32X30SB pushes a 12 mm rod out of BOTH covers, so thrust is identical on the extend and return stroke: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa. The 32 mm bore delivers up to 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa, and the through-rod resists rotation and side load while giving you a symmetric mounting face on either end. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it drops into tight jigs and guarded cells where a full-length body simply will not fit.
The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a roller-burnished bore, the S45C hard-chrome-plated rod shrugs off wear, and a fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke energy at each cover. Because the -S magnet is fitted on this model, CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped into the body slots for end-position sensing. Running on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), it cycles at 30-500 mm/s across -20 to +70 C. As a working rule, 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.
| 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).

ACE-family variants: ACE (double acting), ASE / ATE (single acting push / pull), ACED (double rod), ACEJ (adjustable stroke), TACE / TACED (non-rotating twin-guide yoke). Mounting accessories: FA / FB flange, LB foot, CA / CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, FTC; plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G.
The 345.6 N through-rod clamps aluminium housings in machining jigs, and the 30 mm stroke clears the part quickly inside tight fixture plates.
Equal force both ways lets one cylinder push cartons off a belt and retract with the same thrust, while CMSE switches confirm each stroke via the fitted magnet.
The symmetric double rod drives sample trays between test stations, and the short ISO 21287 body slots under bench guards where longer bodies cannot.
Size up or down from here: the ACED25X30 gives 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa if your load is lighter, while the ACED40X30 raises thrust to 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa for heavier tooling. Remember this is a plain double-rod cylinder, so it will drift if air is lost - fit a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must be held. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face, and I/Y rod knuckles suit the male (B) rod thread. This unit already carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be added without reordering.
Quick checklist
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, with a maximum of 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Both strokes use the rod-side area, so there is no push-versus-pull difference. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
This version carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots to signal extend and retract. Each cover has a fixed TPU bumper that absorbs end-of-stroke energy; it is not adjustable and does not hold a load. Mounting is via FA/FB flanges, LB feet or FTC brackets on the ISO 21287 face, and the male rod thread (B code) accepts I/Y knuckles.
