The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X50 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 50mm 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 ACED32X50 has a piston rod leaving both covers, so push and pull are identical at 345.6 N on a 32 mm bore at 0.5 MPa. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the free rear rod end can carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it drops into tight jigs and guarded cells. Plan on roughly 207 N of usable push, about 21 kgf, and halve that for vertical work: it lifts around 10 kg with margin. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s with a fixed TPU bumper at each end.

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).
| ACED | ISO 21287 compact cylinder (double-rod). |
|---|---|
| 32 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×50 | 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.
Equal 345.6 N force in both directions lets one cylinder press a bushing in, then eject it on the return stroke without a second actuator.
The double rod on a 50 mm stroke keeps a guide rail square as it pushes product to the line center at up to 500 mm/s.
Mount a CMSE or DMSE switch on the body with the optional -S magnet, and hang a flag on the rear rod to mirror piston position for the PLC.
At 345.6 N per direction this bore sits between the 25 mm size (206.2 N) and the 40 mm size (571.8 N) at 0.5 MPa, so step up to 40 mm if your fixture needs more than about 200 N of real work. The 50 mm stroke is well inside the 200 mm standard range for bore 32. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches. Note that this cylinder drifts if air is lost - use a rod lock or pilot check to hold a load.
Quick checklist
Because a rod exits both covers, output is the same on each stroke: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, equal push and pull. Peak force at 1.0 MPa is 70.5 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose short hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke impact, FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets bolt to the standard face, and the optional -S magnet allows CMSE / DMSE switch mounting. Air supply should be filtered to 40 um.
