The AirTAC Airtac B52-ACE Non-Copper Compact Cylinder B52-ACE32X35SB is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 35mm 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 B52-ACE32X35SB is a double acting compact cylinder from AirTAC's copper-free build, meaning it is manufactured without copper or copper alloys for lines where those metals are prohibited, such as ammonia systems or certain battery and chemical plants. The 32 mm bore delivers 402.1 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, and the 35 mm stroke fits tight automation cells where a full-length cylinder would not.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it drops into compact jigs and guarded machinery. The -S code means the optional magnet is fitted, allowing CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches to mount directly to the body slots. For a real-world load, plan for about 24.6 kg of safe vertical lift at 0.5 MPa, a 2:1 margin on the theoretical 40.1 kg, so you can match a part weight without over-specifying.

In a lithium-ion battery assembly line, this 32 mm bore cylinder with 35 mm stroke clamps electrode stacks during tab welding. The 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa holds thin materials firmly, while the copper-free build prevents contamination in the clean-room environment.
For a chemical plant's ammonia leak test station, the copper-free B52-ACE32X35SB actuates a sealing plate against a valve body. The 35 mm stroke cycles quickly at 30-500 mm/s, and the hard-anodized body resists corrosion from the test gas.
On a high-speed packaging conveyor, this cylinder lifts a stop gate to divert cartons. The 345.6 N pull force at 0.5 MPa retracts the gate reliably, and the compact body mounts under the conveyor frame where space is limited.
Size this 32 mm bore against a 25 mm bore, which pushes 245.4 N at 0.5 MPa, if your load is light and you need a smaller footprint. Step up to a 40 mm bore, pushing 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa, when you need nearly 60% more force for heavier clamping or pressing tasks. The male rod thread (B) simplifies mounting to a clevis or rod end, and the 1/8" port matches standard fittings for this bore class.
Because this cylinder is double acting, it extends and retracts with air, but it will not hold a load if pressure is lost or the valve is centered. For a held position, add a rod lock or pilot check valve. The fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact but is not a brake, so plan for controlled deceleration at speeds up to 500 mm/s.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 402.1 N and the pull force is 345.6 N. At 0.7 MPa, push is 563 N and pull is 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. These figures are for the 32 mm bore with a 12 mm rod, and the operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
The B52- prefix marks AirTAC's copper-free (copper-prohibited) version of the ACE32X35SB, so it is suitable for lines where copper alloys are not allowed, such as ammonia systems. The ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, saving mounting space. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and the optional -S magnet is fitted for CMSE or DMSE switches. Confirm the exact material substitutions with us before ordering.
