About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X5B
The ACED32X5B is a double acting compact cylinder built to the ISO 21287 short-body format, with a piston rod exiting BOTH covers. Because each side of the piston sees the rod-side area, output force is identical in both directions: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa. The 5 mm stroke suits short indexing and clamping steps where a full-length body would never fit, and the hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
The 12 mm S45C hard-chrome rod on both ends resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag on a pick-and-place gantry. Fixed TPU bumpers at each end absorb end-of-stroke shock. With 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, plan on roughly 207 N of usable work force, which is about 21 kg of vertical lift at a 2:1 margin. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the male rod thread (B code) bolts straight to standard tooling plates.

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 ACED32X5B Is Used
Short-stroke part ejection
A 5 mm stroke with 345.6 N in each direction is enough to kick a small machined bracket off a fixture nest on a milling line, with the TPU bumper stopping the piston cleanly at both ends.
Symmetric clamping of round parts
In a tube-bending jig, the through-rod lets one clamp pad press from the front cover while the rear rod carries a position flag, and the equal rod-side force means clamp pressure is identical from either side.
Tight gantry indexing
On an electronics assembly gantry where headroom is under 100 mm, the ISO 21287 short body fits where an ISO 15552 profile cylinder cannot, nudging PCB carriers a precise 5 mm between stations at 30-500 mm/s.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X5B the Right Cylinder?
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 pick 32 mm when a clamp or eject step needs about 350 N in both directions. The 5 mm stroke is well inside the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. Note that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. Mounting brackets (FA/FB flange, LB foot, FTC) plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the male rod thread here is ready for external couplings. If you need CMSE or DMSE position switches, order the -S variant, since this model carries no magnet.
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 ACED32X5B FAQ
Output is equal both ways because a rod exits both covers and both strokes use the rod-side area: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed range 30-500 mm/s, and the 5 mm stroke is a standard stroke for the 32 mm bore (max standard 200 mm).
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body (about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder), S45C hard-chrome plated 12 mm rods on both ends, a 1/8" PT air port, and fixed TPU bumpers at each end. The magnet is optional: this model has no magnet, so order the -S code if you want CMSE or DMSE switches for end-of-stroke detection. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles mount on the standard ISO 21287 face.
