The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X45B is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 45mm 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 ACED32X45B pushes a 12 mm rod out of BOTH covers, so the 32 mm bore delivers an identical 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa (483.8 N at 0.7 MPa) on every stroke. The male rod thread from the B code bolts straight to your tooling, and the through-rod resists rotation and side load while giving a symmetric mount. At 30-500 mm/s it suits fast pick-and-place work.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated rod runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), from -20 to 70 C. Its short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and gantries. Fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke shock at both covers. Plan on roughly 207 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa - about 21 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.
| 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).

|---|---|
| 32 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×45 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSE / DMSE sensors (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
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 equal 345.6 N push and pull at 0.5 MPa ejects finished aluminium housings from a fixture and retracts the stripper plate with identical force, within a 45 mm stroke.
A through-rod on both ends of the 32 mm piston lets one side carry the pusher paddle and the other a sensor flag, sweeping PET bottles off a conveyor at 30-500 mm/s.
About 21 kg of practical vertical lift (0.6 of the 0.5 MPa rating) presses connectors into PCB daughterboards, with the male rod thread simplifying tool changes.
At 345.6 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore sits between the 25 mm size (206.2 N) and the 40 mm size (571.8 N) - step down for lighter clamps, up for heavier presses. Because the piston drifts when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles mount on the ISO 21287 face; the 1/8" port is fixed by the bore. This unit has no magnet - order the -S code instead if you need CMSE / DMSE switch sensing.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both strokes, so force is equal either way: 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), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, on air filtered to 40 um.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends absorb end-of-stroke shock. Sensing is not fitted on this code: order the -S variant to get the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches. FA/FB flanges, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I/Y knuckles bolt to the standard face.
