Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X40
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X40 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 40mm 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 TACE100X40
The biggest bore in the range, the TACE100X40 is a double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact cylinder: a 100 mm bore with a 20 mm hard-chrome-plated S45C rod, 1/4" PT ports and a female M12x1.75 rod thread. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3769.9 N, rising to 5497.8 N on the extend stroke 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 gripper or clamp plate stays square with no external guide.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is exactly why a 100 mm force class fits into presses, weld fixtures and gantries that cannot swallow a full-length body. Run it on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, from -20 to +70 C, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. Plan on roughly 2356 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 200 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The magnet is the optional -S code; without it no CMSE or DMSE switch can be fitted.

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 TACE100X40 Is Used
Heavy press-fit clamping
A 40 mm stroke is enough to swing a clamp arm over a bearing or shaft and press it home with about 2356 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa, ideal for assembly benches building electric-motor rotors.
Machining-center fixture hold-down
On a CNC fixture for cast-iron housings, the twin-guide yoke keeps the clamp strap square over the part while the 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa resists cutting lift-off.
Weld-cell gate actuator
Short-stroke gating of a heavy weld-fixture shutter or tooling slide, where the compact body fits inside the guard and the 0.6 factor gives roughly 2356 N of real work per cycle.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X40 the Right Cylinder?
Size down if the job is lighter: a TACE80X40 of the same stroke delivers 2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, so pick bore 100 when the clamp or press force must reach the 3927 N class. Bore 100 is the largest in the series, so there is no step up; if you need more, parallel two cylinders or move to a larger series. Strokes to 100 mm are standard for this bore and 40 mm sits well inside that, so no made-to-order stroke is needed.
When air is lost the piston drifts, so a held load needs a rod lock or a pilot check valve added to the circuit. Mount with FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR or FTC as the fixture demands, and order the -S code if position detection with CMSE or DMSE switches is planned.
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 TACE100X40 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3769.9 N; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 5497.8 N and pull to 5277.9 N. 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, which lifts roughly 200 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s.
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 both ends to absorb end-of-stroke energy. Mounting choices are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC, with a female M12x1.75 rod thread and 1/4" PT ports. Position sensing needs the optional -S magnet; only then can CMSE or DMSE switches be mounted on the body slots.
