Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X5
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X5 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 5mm 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 ACED32X5
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED32X5 pushes a 32 mm piston through a 5 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers. Because each side works on 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 through-rod resists rotation and light side load, and the rear rod end gives you a free spot to carry a sensor flag.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod keeps the envelope short - roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder - so a 5 mm jog motion fits inside tight fixtures and guarding. As a working rule, budget about 207 N (around 21 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin) rather than the full 345.6 N rating. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, and the optional -S magnet code enables CMSE / DMSE switch sensing.

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 ACED32X5 Is Used
Short-stroke part ejection
A 5 mm nudge is enough to kick a machined bushing off a CNC fixture into a chute; the double rod keeps the push identical on the return stroke so the part clears every cycle.
Presence confirm on assembly stations
Order the -S magnet and a CMSE switch to confirm a 5 mm clamp or seat motion on an electronics assembly line, with the rear rod carrying a second flag if needed.
Compact jig indexing
In a welding jig where an ISO 15552 profile cylinder will not fit, the short ACED32X5 body advances a locator pin 5 mm at 345.6 N, driven from a 1/8" port at 0.5 MPa.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X5 the Right Cylinder?
At 345.6 N per direction, bore 32 sits between bore 25 (206.2 N at 0.5 MPa) and bore 40 (571.8 N at 0.5 MPa) - step down for lighter clamps, up for heavier presses. The 5 mm stroke suits short eject or confirm motions; if the load must stay put when air drops, add a rod lock or pilot check, since this cylinder will drift. Female M8x1.25 rod thread, 1/8" ports, and FA/FB flange or LB foot brackets that bolt to the ISO 21287 face make fixture integration straightforward; order the -S code if CMSE / DMSE switches are needed.
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 ACED32X5 FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means 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 for this 32 mm bore. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um, temperature -20 to +70 C.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why a 5 mm stroke version fits shallow pockets and guarded stations. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke impact. Switches are not fitted as standard: order the -S magnet code and CMSE or DMSE switches can then be mounted in the body slots. FA/FB flanges and LB foot brackets bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face.
