The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X90 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 90mm 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 ACED32X90 is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 32 mm bore with 90 mm of stroke and a 12 mm rod leaving both covers, so the output force is identical on the extend and retract strokes. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 345.6 N either way, and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa. The hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it drops into tight jigs and guarded stations a full-length body cannot fit.
Because the rod passes through both ends, the piston resists rotation and side load and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, and the two-way piston seal stores grease for long service. Running on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), it cycles at 30-500 mm/s between -20 and +70 C. In practice, plan on roughly 207 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 18 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The female M8x1.25 rod thread and 1/8" ports suit standard fittings; the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches.

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.

|---|---|
| 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 equal 345.6 N force on both strokes lets one ACED32X90 press a machined aluminium bracket into a drill jig and retract it with identical force, keeping clamp pressure consistent across the cycle.
On a packaging line indexing cartons, the rear rod of the through-rod design carries a flag plate; with the optional -S magnet and DMSE switches the controller confirms both end positions without extra hardware.
A 90 mm stroke lifting about 18 kg of fixture weight inside a guarded assembly gantry, where the short ISO 21287 body fits the 100 mm envelope an ISO 15552 profile cylinder cannot.
Size both ways: the ACED25X90 gives 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa if your load is lighter, while the ACED40X90 reaches 571.8 N if you need more push. This 32 mm model sits in the middle at 345.6 N both directions. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. Bolt it down with FA or FB flanges, LB feet or FTC brackets, and add I or Y rod knuckles on the through-rod. Order the -S code only if you need CMSE / DMSE position switches.
Quick checklist
Output is equal in both directions because a rod exits each cover: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa on both strokes, with a peak of 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. A practical rule is about 207 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which vertically lifts roughly 18 kg with a 2:1 margin. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome-plated 12 mm rod through both covers, fixed TPU bumpers at each end, a female M8x1.25 rod thread and 1/8" ports. Mounting options include FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets. Position sensing requires the optional -S magnet ordered with the cylinder; only then can CMSE or DMSE switches be slid into the body slots. Without -S there is no magnet fitted.
