The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X35B is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 35mm 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 actuator built to ISO 21287, the ACED32X35B pushes a 32 mm bore through a 35 mm stroke with a piston rod leaving BOTH covers. Because each side of the piston sees the rod-side area, output is a matched 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction - no push/pull imbalance to compensate for in your fixture math. The B code gives a male rod thread on both ends, so tooling plates or sensor flags can hang off the rear rod as easily as the front.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome-plated rod runs at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s and -20 to 70 C, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight guarding and slide assemblies. As a working figure, plan on roughly 207 N (about 21 kg of vertical lift at a 2:1 margin) of usable thrust at 0.5 MPa. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face; note this unit has no magnet fitted - the optional -S code is what enables CMSE / DMSE switches.

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 on a machining pallet, with the rear rod carrying a workpiece-present flag for the PLC.
Equal 345.6 N force both ways makes the 35 mm stroke ideal for nudging cartons between conveyor lanes where push and return loads match.
A materials test bench uses the symmetric double rod to cycle a specimen at 30-500 mm/s, with identical force in each stroke direction.
At 345.6 N per direction, bore 32 suits clamping and reciprocating loads in the 20-30 kg class at 0.5 MPa; step down to bore 25 (206.2 N) for lighter pick-and-place or up to bore 40 (571.8 N) when the part is heavier. The 35 mm stroke sits well inside the 200 mm standard range for this bore, so it ships as a catalogue item. If the load must stay put when air drops, add a rod lock or pilot check valve - the cylinder itself will drift. Choose the -S variant instead if you need CMSE / DMSE position sensing, and pick LB foot or FA flange mounting to match your fixture plate.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area, so force is equal both ways: 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 range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed is 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets bolt straight to its face. Sensing is not fitted as standard: order the -S code to get the optional magnet, then CMSE or DMSE switches can be clipped onto the body slots. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy.
