Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X5
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X5 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 5mm 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 TACE100X5
Double acting and non-rotating, the TACE100X5 puts a 100 mm bore behind a 5 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 that rises to 5497.8 N push, 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 press plate or clamp pad stays square without an external guide - an edge a plain compact cylinder cannot offer.
The hard-anodized aluminium body and 20 mm S45C hard-chrome plated rod run on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why a 5 mm stroke like this slots into tight dies and fixture plates. For position feedback add the optional -S magnet (CMSE / DMSE switches); without it no sensor mounts. Vertically, the 3927 N push equals roughly 400 kgf, so plan on lifting about 200 kg with a 2:1 margin.

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 TACE100X5 Is Used
Bearing press-fit station
A 5 mm stroke is enough to seat a bearing into a housing on an automated assembly line; 3927 N at 0.5 MPa covers typical light press fits without a full-size press.
Welding fixture clamp
Clamps a steel bracket against locating pins in a robotic welding cell; the twin-guide yoke keeps the clamp pad square under side load and the short body fits crowded fixture plates.
Mold part ejection
A short 5 mm kick is all a small injection mold needs to break a part loose; at 0.7 MPa the bore delivers 5497.8 N push for stubborn or sticky parts.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X5 the Right Cylinder?
Against the 80 mm bore (2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa), this 100 mm bore delivers 3927 N - about 56% more force in only a marginally larger body, and it is the largest standard bore in the series. The 5 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for bore 100, so no made-to-order build is needed. Note the piston drifts if air is lost, so for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. Mount via FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR or FTC; the female M12x1.75 rod thread takes standard tooling, and the -S code enables CMSE / DMSE switch detection.
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 TACE100X5 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3769.9 N; at 0.7 MPa, 5497.8 N push and 5277.9 N pull. The theoretical maximum is 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. 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 with a hard-anodized aluminium body, a 20 mm hard-chrome plated rod and a fixed TPU bumper at both ends; the short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. The air port is 1/4" (PT) and mounting options are FB, CA, CB, CR and FTC. Position sensing requires the optional -S magnet with CMSE or DMSE switches - without the -S code no magnet is fitted.
