Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X45S
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X45S is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 45mm 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 TACE100X45S
A heavy-duty member of the AirTAC ACE range, the TACE100X45S is a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder to ISO 21287 with a 100 mm bore and 45 mm stroke. Twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a gripper plate or press head 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, which is why it drops into tight jigs and gantries where a full-length body will not fit.
At 0.5 MPa this bore pushes 3927 N and pulls 3769.9 N; at 0.7 MPa those rise to 5497.8 N and 5277.9 N, with a theoretical 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Plan on roughly 2356 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, and expect about 200 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The -S code on this model means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted anywhere along the body. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed runs 30-500 mm/s, and a fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke energy at both ends. Ports are 1/4" and the rod carries a female M12x1.75 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 TACE100X45S Is Used
Automotive press fixture
Clamps steel door panels against a welding jig with 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa while the twin-guide yoke keeps the clamp pad square to the die.
Bench press insertion
Presses bearings into pump housings on a 45 mm stroke; the short ISO 21287 body fits under a low gantry frame where a longer cylinder cannot reach.
Pallet stop and locate
Stops and squares heavy pallets on a packaging line; the 100 mm bore absorbs side load through the guide rods and the fitted -S magnet feeds a DMSE switch to the PLC.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X45S the Right Cylinder?
Need less force? An 80 mm bore TACE delivers 2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, while this 100 mm bore steps up to 3927 N, the largest in the ACE compact range. The 45 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a catalogue item. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay put. Mounting choices cover FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC, and because the -S magnet is fitted here, CMSE / DMSE switches are plug-and-play.
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 TACE100X45S 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 at 1.0 MPa is 800.9 kgf. Working pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof rating, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and 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 reed or solid-state switches can be clipped on; units ordered without -S have no magnet.
