About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X80
The ACED32X80 is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the ISO 21287 short-body format: a 32 mm bore with an 80 mm stroke, a 12 mm rod exiting BOTH covers, and a female M8x1.25 rod thread. 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, either way. The hard-anodized aluminium body with a roller-burnished bore carries an S45C hard-chrome-plated rod, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so this 80 mm stroke unit fits where a full-length cylinder will not - sliding guards, pick stations and tight gantry fixtures. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the back-end rod can carry a sensor flag on a separate bracket. Plan for about 207 N of real work at 0.5 MPa (roughly 60% of the rating), which is about 21 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Note: this code has no magnet fitted - order the -S version if you need CMSE / DMSE switch detection.

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 ACED32X80 Is Used
Reciprocating transfer slide
The through-rod gives an identical 345.6 N push and pull at 0.5 MPa, so a shuttle table accelerates the same in both directions over the 80 mm stroke without recalibrating the cycle.
Encoder flag driver on packaging machines
Mount a flag on the rear rod of the ACED32X80 to trigger a proximity sensor while the front rod does the work - one cylinder, two sensing points, no extra actuator.
Symmetric press-in of bushings in gearbox housings
Equal force both ways lets the same fixture press a bushing in on the forward stroke and eject the arbor on the return, at 483.8 N per side at 0.7 MPa.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X80 the Right Cylinder?
At 345.6 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, the 32 mm bore sits between the 25 mm bore (206.2 N) and the 40 mm bore (571.8 N) - choose the 25 if your load is under about 120 N of real work, step up to the 40 for heavier clamping. The 80 mm stroke is well inside the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a catalogue item. Mounting: FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face. A plain double-rod cylinder does not hold position when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load, and order the -S code if CMSE / DMSE sensing is 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 ACED32X80 FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area and force is equal in both directions: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, push or pull. Peak output at 1.0 MPa is about 70.5 kgf. In practice, budget around 207 N (about 21 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin) for real work at 0.5 MPa.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end and FA/FB, LB or FTC mounting plus I/Y rod knuckles. Sensing requires the optional -S magnet code - this ACED32X80 has no magnet fitted, so order ACED32X80S to run CMSE or DMSE switches along the body slots.
