Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X50
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X50 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 50mm 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 TACE100X50
Double acting and non-rotating, the AirTAC TACE100X50 pairs a 100 mm bore with a 50 mm stroke inside an ISO 21287 compact body. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3769.9 N; at 0.7 MPa push climbs to 5497.8 N, 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 press plate or gripper stays square without any external guide.
Plan on roughly 2356 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa (about 60% of the push rating), which is the vertical-lift equivalent of about 200 kg with a 2:1 margin. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it drops into wide gantry carriages and press heads where a full-length body will not fit. A hard-anodized aluminium body with roller-burnished bore, an S45C hard-chrome plated 20 mm rod, fixed TPU bumpers at both ends and 1/4" PT ports round out the package; speed range is 30-500 mm/s.

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 TACE100X50 Is Used
Bearing press station
Pressing bearings into gearbox housings on a short 50 mm closure stroke; 3927 N at 0.5 MPa covers typical light interference fits, and the twin-guide yoke keeps the punch square to the bore.
Weld fixture clamping
Clamping large automotive body panels in a robotic weld cell; the non-rotating guide rods hold the clamp arm alignment under side load, and the compact body fits inside the fixture frame.
Machine gate lift
Raising and lowering a safety gate or die-cart shutter of about 200 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin; the 50 mm stroke suits short-travel gates on packaging and machine-tool guards.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X50 the Right Cylinder?
For lighter work, the 80 mm bore sibling delivers 2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa; the 100 mm bore is the largest in the series, so if 3927 N at 0.5 MPa is not enough, add a second cylinder or raise pressure toward the 5497.8 N available at 0.7 MPa. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost: for a held load, pair it with a rod lock or pilot check valve. Mounting choices are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC, and the rod end carries a female M12x1.75 thread. Position feedback needs the optional -S magnet code, which enables CMSE / DMSE switches; without -S there is no magnet in the cylinder.
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 TACE100X50 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. It runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) of filtered air, tolerates 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and cycles at 30-500 mm/s.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder: hard-anodized aluminium body with roller-burnished bore, S45C hard-chrome plated 20 mm rod, threaded aluminium covers, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end of the 50 mm stroke. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. Mounting options are FB, CA, CB, CR and FTC. Position switches (CMSE / DMSE) work only when you order the optional -S magnet; the base TACE100X50 has no magnet fitted.
