The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X35 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 35mm 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.
Built as a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder to ISO 21287, the TACE100X35 pairs a 100 mm bore with a 35 mm stroke, a 20 mm hard-chrome-plated S45C rod and a 1/4" PT port. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3769.9 N; at 0.7 MPa push climbs to 5497.8 N, 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 punch or press plate stays square without an external guide.
The hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters in heavy gantries and weld fixtures where every millimetre of envelope counts. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. Plan for about 2356 N (roughly 240 kgf) of real work at 0.5 MPa, or size a vertical lift at about 200 kg with a 2:1 margin. This version ships without a magnet; order the optional -S code to enable CMSE / DMSE switches.

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.
| 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.

ACE-family variants: ACE (double acting), ASE / ATE (single acting push / pull), ACED (double rod), ACEJ (adjustable stroke), TACE / TACED (non-rotating twin-guide yoke). Mounting accessories: FA / FB flange, LB foot, CA / CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, FTC; plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G.
A 35 mm stroke is enough to swage or mark an automotive bracket; the 100 mm bore delivers 3927 N at 0.5 MPa, and the twin-guide yoke keeps the punch square over off-centre parts.
On a packaging line the short body slots beneath a tight machine cover while lifting about 200 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin; both ports are powered, so the rod retracts under air control.
Twin guide rods carry the side load of a swing-clamp arm on a car-body fixture and hold the jaw parallel without an external guide, cycling at 30-500 mm/s through the 1/4" port.
Next bore down is the 80 mm TACE80, which pushes 2513.3 N at 0.5 MPa; at 100 mm you are at the top of the ACE range with 3927 N. If the job needs less than about 2356 N of usable force, the 80 mm bore costs less air per cycle. When air is lost the piston drifts, so fit a rod lock or pilot check valve wherever a load must stay held. Mounting: FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR or FTC; add the optional -S code only if CMSE / DMSE sensing is required. The 35 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm max standard for this bore.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the 100 mm bore pushes 3927 N and pulls 3769.9 N. At 0.7 MPa push reaches 5497.8 N (pull 5277.9 N). The theoretical maximum is 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at both ends and FB, CA, CB, CR or FTC mounting. No magnet is fitted on this model; order the optional -S version to run CMSE or DMSE switches. Note that the piston drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load.
