The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X90B 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.
This double acting compact cylinder carries a rod out of BOTH covers, so the ACED32X90B pushes with the same 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa (483.8 N at 0.7 MPa) whichever end is pressurized - there is no push/pull imbalance to design around. The 90 mm stroke sits well inside the 200 mm standard range for the 32 mm bore, and the male rod thread (B code) bolts straight to your tooling.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and guarding where a full-length body will not fit. A hard-anodized aluminium body pairs with an S45C hard-chrome rod, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. As a rule of thumb, plan on about 207 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa - roughly 21 kg - or keep a 2:1 margin and lift about 10 kg vertically. Note: no magnet is fitted; order the -S code if you need CMSE / DMSE switch sensing.

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).

|---|---|
| 32 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×90 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSE / DMSE sensors (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
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 through-rod lets a fixture clamp from both sides with one cylinder, delivering an equal 345.6 N grip force at 0.5 MPa on each end of a machined housing.
On a 90 mm shuttle stroke between two conveyor lanes, the double rod resists rotation and keeps the carrier aligned at speeds up to 500 mm/s.
Mount a flag on the rear rod of a pick station and, with the optional -S magnet ordered, read position with CMSE / DMSE switches along the body slots.
At 345.6 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, the 32 mm bore suits clamping and transfer loads in the 20-30 kg class; step down to the 25 mm bore (206.2 N) for lighter fixtures or up to the 40 mm bore (571.8 N) when the load grows. The 90 mm stroke is a standard length for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder will drift if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must be held. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles mount on the ISO 21287 face, and the male rod thread (B) suits clevis-style tooling.
Quick checklist
Yes - because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area. At 0.5 MPa you get 345.6 N in each direction; at 0.7 MPa, 483.8 N both ways; the maximum at 1.0 MPa is 70.5 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, air filtered to 40 um, speed 30-500 mm/s and -20 to +70 C.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so the 90 mm stroke fits shallow gantries and guarded cells. The B code gives a male 12 mm rod thread for direct tooling attachment, FA/FB flange or LB foot plates bolt to the standard face, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end softens stroke ends. The magnet is optional - order -S to enable CMSE / DMSE switches.
