Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X40S
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X40S 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 TACE100X40S
Double acting and non-rotating, the AirTAC TACE100X40S pairs a 100 mm bore with a 40 mm stroke in an ISO 21287 compact body. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3769.9 N; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 5497.8 N, with a theoretical maximum of 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a gripper or press plate stays square without an external guide.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated 20 mm rod saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so this heavy-thrust model still slots into tight weld jigs and clamp fixtures. As a working rule, plan on roughly 2356 N (about 240 kg) of usable push at 0.5 MPa, or lift about 200 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The -S magnet is fitted on this model, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted, and a fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke energy. Air supply 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, 1/4" port.

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 TACE100X40S Is Used
Weld fixture clamping
A 40 mm stroke is enough to swing heavy clamp arms on automotive weld fixtures, and 3927 N at 0.5 MPa holds large sheet-metal panels firmly while the twin-guide yoke keeps the clamp pad square to the part.
Stamping and staking presses
Short-run staking and marking of steel brackets suits this force class: the compact body fits inside a press head where an ISO 15552 profile cylinder of equal thrust would be roughly twice as long.
Die cart and mold positioning
In injection mold shops the 100 mm bore pushes heavy mold inserts into pocket registers, and the fitted -S magnet with a DMSE switch confirms full seat before the clamp sequence starts.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X40S the Right Cylinder?
At 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa this is the top of the TACE range; if your load needs less, the bore 80 version still delivers 2513.3 N at 0.5 MPa and costs less to run. There is no larger bore, so if 3927 N is marginal at your working pressure, parallel cylinders or a higher supply pressure (up to 1.0 MPa) are the options. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost: for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. Mounting choices are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC, and the yoke carries no rod-thread code; the rod end itself is female M12x1.75. The -S magnet is already fitted here, so CMSE / DMSE position switches work straight away.
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 TACE100X40S FAQ
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), and the theoretical maximum is 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. For real work, budget about 2356 N (roughly 240 kg) at 0.5 MPa, or about 200 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed is 30-500 mm/s.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder: the 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 to absorb end-of-stroke impact. Twin guide rods on a yoke stop the load rotating and carry side load, and the rod end is female M12x1.75 with a 1/4" port. This model carries the -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be fitted for end-of-stroke or mid-stroke signals. FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC mountings are available.
