The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED32X90SB 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 ACED32X90SB is a double acting, double-rod AirTAC compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 12 mm hard-chrome-plated S45C rod exits BOTH covers, so thrust is identical on the extend and retract strokes - 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction. The male rod thread (B code) suits external rod couplings and knuckles, and the 1/8" PT port feeds the 32 mm bore. The optional -S magnet is fitted on this model, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped straight onto the body.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight jigs, guards and gantries. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, the hard-anodized aluminium barrel resists wear, and the through-rod resists rotation and light side load while the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. Running 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), it delivers about 207 N of practical work at 0.5 MPa (the usual 60% planning figure) and 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.
A gantry shuttle on a PCB test line uses the rear rod to drive a return flag while the front rod carries the tray gripper; equal 345.6 N thrust both ways keeps acceleration identical in each direction.
Pressing bronze bushings into aluminium housings needs the same force on entry and ejection - the through-rod gives 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa whichever way the piston runs, with the TPU bumper softening both ends.
Because the -S magnet is fitted, two CMSE switches report fully-extended and fully-retracted on a carton pusher running at 300 mm/s, all inside a guard where the compact body saves half the mounting length.
At 345.6 N per direction this 32 mm bore sits between the 25 mm ACED (206.2 N) and the 40 mm ACED (571.8 N) at 0.5 MPa - step down for lighter pick-and-place, up for heavier clamping. The 90 mm stroke is well inside the 200 mm standard range for bore 32, so it ships as a catalogue item. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and I/Y rod knuckles suit the male thread. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay put.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area, so output is equal either way: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, with a peak of 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. In practice plan on about 207 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 17 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C.
S means the optional magnet is fitted on this model, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount in the body slots; B means the 12 mm rod ends in a male thread instead of the female M8x1.25. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face, the fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke shock, and the short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
