Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X40
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X40 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 40mm 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 ACED32X40
A double acting compact actuator built to ISO 21287, the ACED32X40 has a piston rod leaving both covers, so the 32 mm bore delivers the same 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa (483.8 N at 0.7 MPa) whether it extends or retracts. The through-rod resists rotation and carries a symmetric load, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. Its short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight jigs, guards and gantry frames a full-length body cannot fit.
For sizing, treat roughly 207 N (about 21 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin) as the practical working force at 0.5 MPa. The hard-anodized aluminium body with a roller-burnished bore and an S45C hard-chrome-plated rod runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, from -20 to +70 C. The magnet is optional: order the -S code to enable CMSE / DMSE switches, otherwise no magnet is 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 ACED32X40 Is Used
Symmetric jig clamping
The equal 345.6 N push and pull at 0.5 MPa lets one ACED32X40 clamp a machined housing from either side of a drilling fixture without recalculating forces.
Two-sided gantry actuation
A rod at each cover drives a tool plate from both ends of a compact pick station, and the through-rod keeps the carrier from rotating at 30-500 mm/s.
Indexing with position feedback
Order the -S magnet and fit CMSE or DMSE switches on the body slots to confirm the 40 mm slide of a rotary indexing table has fully seated.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X40 the Right Cylinder?
At 345.6 N per direction, the 32 mm bore suits clamping and positioning in the 20-35 kg load class. Step down to the 25 mm bore (206.2 N at 0.5 MPa) for lighter pick-and-place, or up to the 40 mm bore (571.8 N) when the part is heavier. The 40 mm stroke sits well inside the 200 mm standard range for this bore. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the female M8x1.25 rod thread takes standard rod accessories; add -S if you need CMSE / DMSE sensing.
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 ACED32X40 FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, force is identical in both directions: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, equal to about 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 32 mm bore takes a 1/8" port with an M8x1.25 female rod thread.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow fixtures and guarded cells. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. Sensing is optional: only the -S ordering code adds the magnet that lets CMSE / DMSE switches read position; without -S there is no magnet in the piston.
