The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X50S 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, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED32X50S pushes a 32 mm bore through a 50 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers. Because each side works on the rod-side area, output is identical in both directions: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and guarding where a full-length body cannot go.
The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a hard-chrome plated S45C rod, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. With the -S magnet this model carries, CMSE or DMSE switches read position directly off the body slots. In practice, plan on roughly 207 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, and the through-rod will lift about 17 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The rear rod also makes a handy sensor-flag mount, and the symmetric rod resists rotation and light side load.

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).

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 50 mm stroke and 345.6 N bidirectional force suit a gripper arm sliding machined aluminium brackets in and out of a CNC vise, where the short ISO 21287 body fits inside the machine guard.
Equal force both ways lets one ACED32X50S divert PET bottles onto an offshoot lane, with the fitted -S magnet driving a DMSE switch to confirm end-of-stroke before the next case fires.
With about 17 kg of vertical lift capability at a 2:1 margin, the through-rod holds a steel locating pin down on a bracket-welding fixture while the back rod carries a sensor flag for PLC verification.
At 345.6 N per direction, the 32 mm bore sits between the 25 mm bore (206.2 N at 0.5 MPa) and the 40 mm bore (571.8 N at 0.5 MPa), so step up if your tooling needs more than about 200 N of working force. The 50 mm stroke is well inside the 200 mm standard range for this bore. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt to the ISO 21287 face; the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches, and the female M8x1.25 rod thread with PT ports suits standard fittings.
Quick checklist
Yes. As a double-rod cylinder, a rod exits both covers and both strokes use the rod-side area, so force is equal either way: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Never size this bore by a larger push figure - there is no difference between push and pull.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets bolt straight to its face. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches clip into the body slots for end-of-stroke or mid-stroke signals. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and the piston will drift if air pressure is lost.
