Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X100
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X100 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 100mm stroke, 1/4" 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. Twin guide rods keep the tooling from rotating.

About the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X100
The TACE100X100 is a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, pairing a 100 mm bore with a 100 mm stroke in a hard-anodized aluminium body that saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3769.9 N, which on paper lifts about 400 kg vertically; plan the real job around roughly 2356 N, about 200 kg with a 2:1 margin. Twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a heavy gripper or press plate stays square without any external guide.
The 20 mm S45C piston rod is hard-chrome plated and ends in a female M12x1.75 thread; air ports are 1/4" PT. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), tolerates a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, works from -20 to +70 C and cycles at 30-500 mm/s. This version carries no magnet; order the optional -S code if you need CMSE or DMSE switches to track position.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACE-series (ISO 21287) datasheet. Body: hard-anodized aluminium alloy; piston rod: S45C carbon steel with hard-chrome plating; guide rods: stainless steel (Ø12-40) / S45C (larger). 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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø100mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3927 N | 3770 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 5498 N | 5278 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 801 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin. Twin guide rods stop the tooling rotating.

Where the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X100 Is Used
CNC fixture clamping
Clamps heavy weldments or casting fixtures to a machining-center table with 3927 N of push force, while the twin-guide yoke keeps the clamp plate square to the datum without a separate guide rail.
Vertical lift of die-cast parts
Lifts aluminum housings of roughly 200 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin on the 3927 N push rating, using the 100 mm stroke to raise parts clear of a die or pallet.
Heavy indexing slide actuation
Drives a steel indexing slide on an assembly conveyor, where the twin guide rods absorb the side load of off-center tooling and the compact body fits under a low guard.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X100 the Right Cylinder?
This is the top of the ACE bore range: 3927 N of push at 0.5 MPa. If the duty needs less force, the 80 mm bore delivers 2513.3 N at the same pressure and keeps the same 100 mm standard stroke ceiling. The piston drifts the moment air is lost, so for any held load add a rod lock or a pilot check valve rather than relying on the cylinder itself. Match the machine with the FB flange or a CA/CB clevis, and add the optional -S magnet only when CMSE or DMSE sensing is actually required.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Short stroke fits the compact body
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Add -S if you need the magnet for sensors
- ✓ Rod type (female / male B) & mount (FA/LB/CA)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Compact body: keep the stroke short and avoid side load on the rod.
- check Do not dismantle the threaded front/back covers.
- check Keep speed within the rated range; the TPU bumper absorbs stroke-end energy.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X100 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3769.9 N; at 0.7 MPa it reaches 5497.8 N push and 5277.9 N pull. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 800.9 kgf. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof rating, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um.
The ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end to absorb end-of-stroke shock. FB flange and CA/CB clevis mountings are available. This model ships without a magnet, so order the optional -S version to fit CMSE or DMSE switches for position feedback.
