Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X100S
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X100S 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 TACE100X100S
A compact, double acting cylinder with a twin-guide yoke, the AirTAC TACE100X100S turns a 100 mm bore into 3927 N of push at 0.5 MPa (3769.9 N on the pull side) over a 100 mm stroke. Raise the supply to 0.7 MPa and push reaches 5497.8 N with 5277.9 N on retraction; the theoretical ceiling is 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a clamp arm or gripper plate stays square without an external guide. Pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and speed runs 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um.
For real-world sizing, count on about 2356 N - roughly 240 kg of usable push - at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting about 200 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, letting this much force sit inside tight press frames and weld gantries. Because this is the -S version, the magnet is fitted and CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted in the body slots. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and the hard-anodized aluminium body with a hard-chrome plated S45C 20 mm rod and 1/4" PT ports is built for long service between -20 and +70 C.

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 TACE100X100S Is Used
Machining fixture clamping
Clamps large aluminium castings against CNC machining-center fixtures; 3927 N at 0.5 MPa holds the part down while the twin-guide yoke keeps the clamp plate from twisting under side load.
Bushing staking press
A compact bench press for staking bushings into suspension-arm brackets; the 100 mm stroke covers manual loading and the 5497.8 N push at 0.7 MPa completes the stake in one hit.
Die-cart lift segment
Raises a 200 kg locating die segment on a stamping die-change cart; the vertical-lift figure already carries a 2:1 margin at 0.5 MPa, and the -S magnet signals top of travel to the cart PLC.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X100S the Right Cylinder?
Bore 100 is the top of the ACE force ladder - the next size down, bore 80, gives 2513.3 N at 0.5 MPa, so step down if 3927 N is more than the task needs. The piston drifts when air is lost and never holds a load on its own, so fit a rod lock or pilot check valve wherever a clamped or lifted part must stay put. Mounting is chosen from FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC; the rod end carries a female M12x1.75 thread on a 20 mm rod. Since the -S magnet is already in this model, CMSE / DMSE switches simply clip into the slots - no reordering needed.
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 TACE100X100S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the cylinder pushes 3927 N and pulls 3769.9 N; at 0.7 MPa push is 5497.8 N and pull 5277.9 N. The theoretical maximum is 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Supply pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof rating, speed spans 30-500 mm/s, and the 1/4" PT ports take standard fittings.
The ISO 21287 short body needs about 50% less mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. Mounting options are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC. This TACE100X100S carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount in the body slots for position feedback; without the -S code there is no magnet.
