About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X45S
The ACED32X45S is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the ISO 21287 short-body format, with a 32 mm bore and a 45 mm stroke. A piston rod exits both covers, so the output force is equal in both directions - 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa on each stroke, since both sides work on the rod-side area. The S in the model code means the optional magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped onto the body for end-of-stroke signalling.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with a roller-burnished bore carries an S45C hard-chrome-plated rod, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight jigs and guarded stations. Practical sizing: treat roughly 0.6 of the 345.6 N rating as usable, about 207 N, which corresponds to lifting around 21 kg vertically at 0.5 MPa with a sensible margin. The through-rod also resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s.

|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 346 N |

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 ACED32X45S Is Used
Symmetric clamp fixtures
The equal 345.6 N force in both directions lets one ACED32X45S clamp a machined aluminium housing from either side of a CNC jig, with the rear rod carrying a workpiece-present flag.
Conveyor push-off station
A packaging line uses the 45 mm stroke to kick cartons sideways off a belt at up to 500 mm/s, with CMSE switches on the -S magnet confirming extend and retract.
Lab press slide
A small test-rig slide needs about 200 N of usable force; the 32 mm bore delivers it both ways, and the compact body fits inside a guarding frame where a full-length profile cylinder would not.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X45S the Right Cylinder?
At 345.6 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, the 32 mm bore covers clamping and pressing tasks in the 20-30 kg class; step down to the 25 mm bore (206.2 N) for lighter pick-and-place, or up to the 40 mm bore (571.8 N) when the load grows. The 45 mm stroke sits well inside the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a catalogue item, not a special. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so position feedback with CMSE / DMSE switches is ready to go. Rod end is female M8x1.25 and the air port is 1/8" PT; FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face. Note that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must be held.
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 ACED32X45S FAQ
Yes - because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area, 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 pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the fluid is air filtered to 40 um.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. The S code means the magnet is fitted on this unit, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be mounted in the body slots; models ordered without -S carry no magnet. Mounting is via FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets on the standard ISO 21287 face.
