Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X15S
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X15S 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 TACE100X15S
Double acting and non-rotating, the TACE100X15S puts a 100 mm bore into the ISO 21287 short body with only 15 mm of stroke. Twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a clamp shoe or press plate stays square without an external guide. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3769.9 N, rising to 5497.8 N push and 5277.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical peak of 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. For sizing, plan on about 2356 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 200 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.
The hard-anodized aluminium body has a roller-burnished bore, and the 20 mm S45C rod carries hard-chrome plating; aluminium covers thread onto the body for easy service. A fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke energy at both ends. The -S magnet is fitted on this model, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted anywhere along the body. Air supply is filtered to 40 um, pressure runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof, temperature spans -20 to +70 C, and speed covers 30-500 mm/s. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and the 1/4" PT port pairs with a female M12x1.75 rod thread.

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 TACE100X15S Is Used
CNC fixture clamping
Clamps a large steel fixture plate on a machining centre with a short 15 mm squeeze; the twin-guide yoke keeps the clamp shoe square to the part under 3927 N of force.
Bearing staking press
A compact bench press stakes bearings into aluminium housings; 3927 N at 0.5 MPa covers light staking, and the 15 mm stroke suits fast in-and-out cycles.
Weld cell riser lift
Lifts a 200 kg weld fixture riser 15 mm between robot cycles; the non-rotating twin guides hold the riser level, and a CMSE switch confirms the raised position.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X15S the Right Cylinder?
At 100 mm this is the largest bore in the TACE range; if 3927 N at 0.5 MPa is more than the job needs, the 80 mm bore still delivers 2513.3 N push at the same pressure. Because air is not stored, the rod drifts if supply is lost - fit a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay put. Mounting choices are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC, and the -S magnet is already on board for CMSE / DMSE switch feedback.
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 TACE100X15S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the 100 mm bore 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, and the theoretical maximum is 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. For sizing, treat about 2356 N at 0.5 MPa as the usable force, which lifts roughly 200 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at both ends. Mounting options are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC. The -S magnet is fitted on this model, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be added; the port is 1/4" PT and the rod end is female M12x1.75.
