Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X15
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X15 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 15mm 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 TACE100X15
The TACE100X15 is a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 100 mm bore with a 15 mm stroke, a 20 mm hard-chrome S45C piston rod and a female M12x1.75 rod thread on the twin-guide yoke. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3769.9 N; at 0.7 MPa those figures rise to 5497.8 N push and 5277.9 N pull, with a theoretical peak of 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a heavy clamp plate or gripper stays square with no external guide.
The hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is what lets a 100 mm bore fit inside a press head or gantry where a full-length body will not. For real work, plan on roughly 2356 N at 0.5 MPa (about 0.6 of the push force), or think of it as lifting about 200 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Supply air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, fixed TPU bumpers at both ends; the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches, and this model is ordered without it.

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 TACE100X15 Is Used
Automotive bracket staking press
The 15 mm stroke drives a staking tip with 3927 N at 0.5 MPa, and the short ISO 21287 body fits inside the press head where a full-length cylinder cannot.
Gearbox housing clamping fixture
Twin guide rods on the yoke keep the clamp plate square under side load while machining a cast housing, so no external guide rail is needed.
Palletizing press-down station
With a 2:1 margin the cylinder lifts about 200 kg vertically, and the fixed TPU bumper quiets every short 15 mm downstroke at up to 500 mm/s.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X15 the Right Cylinder?
At 100 mm this is the top of the TACE bore range - the next size down, 80 mm, delivers 2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, so choose it if that force already covers the job. The 15 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a catalogue item, not a made-to-order length. The piston drifts when air is lost - it is not a lock or brake - so add a rod lock or pilot check valve wherever a load must stay held. Mounting options are FB flange, CA or CB clevis, CR and FTC, with no rod-thread code on the yoke; the 1/4" port is threaded PT. If position sensing may be needed later, order the -S code, because without it there is no magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches.
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 TACE100X15 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the 100 mm bore pushes 3927 N and pulls 3769.9 N; at 0.7 MPa push is 5497.8 N and pull is 5277.9 N; the theoretical maximum is 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end and FB, CA, CB, CR or FTC mounting. The magnet is the optional -S code: this model has none, so order TACE100X15S if you want to fit CMSE or DMSE switches.
