Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X40SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X40SB 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 ACED32X40SB
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED32X40SB pushes a 32 mm bore piston through a 40 mm stroke with a rod leaving BOTH covers. Because each side sees 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 male-threaded rod end (B code) bolts straight into standard knuckles, and the fitted -S magnet lets CMSE or DMSE switches report position along the body slots.
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 jig plates where a full-length body cannot. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, the hard-anodized aluminium body runs against an S45C hard-chrome rod, and the through-rod resists rotation and light side load. As a rule of thumb, plan on roughly 207 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa - about 10 kg of vertical lift 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.
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 ACED32X40SB Is Used
Symmetric jig clamping
The equal 345.6 N push and pull at 0.5 MPa lets one cylinder clamp and release a machined housing in a drilling fixture with identical force, and the fitted magnet confirms full clamp via a CMSE switch.
Push-pull parts transfer
On a small electronics assembly line, the through-rod advances a sliding carrier 40 mm and retracts it with the same 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, so cycle timing stays identical in both directions.
Position-flagged gantry slide
The rear rod carries a sensor flag between two DMSE switches, giving end-of-travel confirmation on a compact pick-and-place slide where the short ISO 21287 body fits under low guarding.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X40SB the Right Cylinder?
At 345.6 N per direction, this 32 mm unit covers clamping and transfer duties that a 25 mm bore (206.2 N) would undersize, while a 40 mm bore (571.8 N) is the step up if your load grows. The 40 mm stroke sits well inside the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a catalogue item. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets mount on the ISO 21287 face, and I or Y rod knuckles suit the male thread. Note that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
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 ACED32X40SB FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both strokes, so output is equal either way: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, with a peak of 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 40 mm stroke is well under the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for a 32 mm bore.
S means the optional -S magnet is fitted on this model, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches can clip into the body slots; B means a male rod thread (the blank code would give a female thread). The port is 1/8" (PT thread as ordered), FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. For exact overall dimensions, confirm from datasheet.
