Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X50S
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X50S 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 TACE100X50S
Double acting and non-rotating, the AirTAC TACE100X50S puts the largest bore in the ACE range to work: a 100 mm bore pushing 3927 N and pulling 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa, rising to 5497.8 N on the extend stroke at 0.7 MPa. Twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so heavy grippers and clamp plates stay square with no external guide. A hard-anodized aluminium body and a 20 mm hard-chrome-plated S45C rod keep the short ISO 21287 frame rigid under that force.
In practice, plan for about 2356 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa - roughly 240 kg of real work - and count on about 200 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The compact body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits press headers, weld fixtures and gantries where a full-length body will not. This model carries the -S magnet code, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches read position directly; a fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke energy at both ends, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s on air at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).

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 TACE100X50S Is Used
Automotive panel clinching
Short-stroke clinch presses that set nuts into door panels need 3927 N at 0.5 MPa in a tight header; the twin-guide yoke keeps the punch square on the sheet.
Press-shop die location
Locating and seating heavy dies between strokes: about 200 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin, plus a CMSE switch on the -S magnet to confirm home position.
Heavy pallet stop on a packaging line
A non-rotating stop that squares loaded pallets without an external guide, cycling 30-500 mm/s and retracting instantly when the line restarts.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X50S the Right Cylinder?
At 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa the 100 mm bore tops the ACE range; if the clamp force is generous, an 80 mm bore still delivers 2513.3 N at the same pressure. Proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi) and the fluid is air filtered to 40 um. The piston drifts when air is lost, so for a held load add a rod lock or a pilot check valve. Mount with an FB flange, CA or CB clevis, CR or FTC; the yoke carries no rod-thread code, and the rod ends in a female M12x1.75 thread. Ports are 1/4" on this bore, and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches.
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 TACE100X50S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3769.9 N; at 0.7 MPa the push rises to 5497.8 N with 5277.9 N on the pull side. The theoretical maximum is 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 100 mm bore drives a 20 mm rod through a 50 mm stroke, with a 1/4" port and a female M12x1.75 rod thread.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it drops into tight fixtures. 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 includes the -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches can be mounted for position feedback; note the rod drifts if air is lost, so use a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay held.
