Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X5S
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X5S 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 ACED32X5S
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACED32X5S delivers 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa in each direction because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 5 mm stroke suits short indexing moves, and the through-rod resists rotation while the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. Its ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures and guarding.
The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a hard-chromed S45C rod, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end to soften end-of-stroke contact. This -S model carries the optional magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches can be fitted for end-position signals. At 0.5 MPa the usable working effort is roughly 207 N, which is about 17 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin - enough to raise a small pallet of vials or a light clamp arm. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).

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 ACED32X5S Is Used
Short-stroke part ejection
A 5 mm kick pushes a machined bushing off a locating pin on a CNC lathe discharge chute, with 345.6 N available in either direction at 0.5 MPa.
Position-flag probing
The rear rod carries a flag past a CMSE switch (magnet fitted on this -S model) to confirm a fixture gate has fully seated on an electronics assembly line.
Symmetric gripper actuation
Both rod ends drive the jaws of a small pick-and-place gripper for glass vials, giving balanced clamping force and a rotation-resistant through-rod.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X5S the Right Cylinder?
For a 5 mm nudge with equal force both ways, this 32 mm bore is a strong fit; step down to the 25 mm bore (206.2 N at 0.5 MPa) for lighter clamps, or up to the 40 mm bore (571.8 N) when the load grows. The female M8x1.25 rod thread on both ends accepts standard rod accessories. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the part must stay put. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face.
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 ACED32X5S FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal in both directions: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa on the rod-side area. At the full 1.0 MPa rating the cylinder reaches about 70.5 kgf of thrust. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure.
The ISO 21287 short body needs roughly half the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, ideal for shallow fixtures. The fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke contact. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped onto the body slots for position feedback.
