The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X80SB is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 80mm 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.
The ACED32X80SB 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 male rod thread (B code) on each end. Because both strokes work on the rod-side area, output is identical in each direction - 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa - with a fixed TPU bumper at each end and a speed range of 30-500 mm/s.
The hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures and guarded cells. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the back-end rod can carry a sensor flag. This -S model carries the magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots. As a rule of thumb, plan on about 207 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 17 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

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 male-threaded through-rod lets a clamp arm bolt to either end of this 32 mm bore unit, delivering 345.6 N per side at 0.5 MPa on a CNC jig - identical force whether the arm pushes or pulls.
With equal thrust both ways (483.8 N at 0.7 MPa) and a rod that resists rotation, the ACED32X80SB drives a small pick-and-place slide back and forth at 30-500 mm/s without a guide torque problem.
The fitted -S magnet plus CMSE / DMSE switches give end-of-stroke confirmation for a reject gate or divertor, while the short ISO 21287 body fits the narrow guard envelope of the conveyor frame.
At 345.6 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 32 mm bore suits clamping and transfer tasks in the 200-350 N class; step down to the 25 mm bore (206.2 N) for lighter tooling or up to the 40 mm bore (571.8 N) when the load grows. The 80 mm stroke sits well inside the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a catalogue item. Note that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must be held. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the fitted magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches out of the box.
Quick checklist
Yes - this is a double-rod cylinder, so a 12 mm rod exits both covers and every stroke uses the rod-side area. Force is 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, identical push and pull, with a peak of 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The ACED32X80SB uses the ISO 21287 short-body format with a hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome plated rods, cutting mounting length by about 50% versus an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. Fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke energy at both ends. The S in the model code means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be clipped into the body slots; without the -S code there is no magnet.
