The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X35S 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.
Double acting and non-rotating, the AirTAC TACE100X35S puts a 100 mm bore behind a short 35 mm stroke in an ISO 21287 compact body. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3769.9 N, rising to 5497.8 N at 0.7 MPa, 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 plate or gripper stays square without an external guide. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters when a 100 mm bore has to fit inside a press frame or weld gate.
Plan on roughly 2356 N of real work at 0.5 MPa rather than the full 3927 N rating, and expect about 200 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin (about 400 kg theoretical). Because this model carries the optional -S magnet, CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted in the body slots for end-of-stroke signalling. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, the hard-anodized aluminium body runs on an S45C hard-chrome rod, the port is 1/4" PT, speed spans 30-500 mm/s, and operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).

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.

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 seat ball bearings into electric motor end bells on an assembly bench, with 3927 N at 0.5 MPa covering typical interference fits.
On an automotive weld line, the twin-guide yoke holds a clamp shoe square over a short 35 mm throw, so brackets stay registered without an external guide rail.
With about 200 kg of vertical lift at a 2:1 margin, the cylinder raises and lowers small die inserts or locating blocks between press setups.
At the top of the ACE bore range, the 100 mm size delivers 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa; step down to an 80 mm bore (2513.3 N) if the load is lighter and space is tighter, or stay at 100 mm for the full 800.9 kgf class. The 35 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 build. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost: for a held or clamped load, add a rod lock or pilot check valve. Mount with an FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR or FTC; the yoke carries no rod-thread code, and the rod end is female M12x1.75.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the 100 mm bore pushes 3927 N and pulls 3769.9 N. At 0.7 MPa push rises to 5497.8 N (pull 5277.9 N), and the theoretical maximum is 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. For sizing, treat about 2356 N as the usable push at 0.5 MPa, or about 200 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so a 100 mm bore fits where a full-length body will not. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. Mounting options are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be clipped into the body slots for position feedback; without the -S code there is no magnet.
