Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X55
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X55 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 55mm 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 TACE100X55
A double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the TACE100X55 pairs a 100 mm bore with a 55 mm stroke, and twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating while carrying side load. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3769.9 N; at 0.7 MPa those figures rise to 5497.8 N and 5277.9 N, with a theoretical peak of 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits tight press frames, guards and gantries where a full-length cylinder will not go.
The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a 20 mm S45C hard-chrome plated rod with a female M12x1.75 thread, and 1/4" PT ports feed air filtered to 40 um across a 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) working band at speeds of 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbing end-of-stroke shock. For real work, plan on roughly 2356 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating; halving the lift math means this bore raises about 200 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. It does not hold position when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load.

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 TACE100X55 Is Used
Bearing press-fit station
On an automotive sub-assembly line, the 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa presses bearings into housings with roughly 2356 N of usable working force left over as margin, while the twin-guide yoke keeps the arbor square to the bore.
Packaging lift gate
A vertical gate on a carton palletizer lifting about 200 kg gets a 2:1 margin from this bore, and the 55 mm stroke plus the short ISO 21287 body fits inside the machine guard where a full-length cylinder cannot.
CNC fixture clamp plate
Clamping a plate on a machining-centre fixture, the twin guide rods stop the clamp rotating and carry side load without an external guide, holding the part square cycle after cycle at 30-500 mm/s.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X55 the Right Cylinder?
For a step down, the TACE80X55 delivers 2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa; bore 100 is the top of the ACE range, so nothing larger exists in this series. The 55 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm standard limit for this bore, and FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR or FTC mountings bolt straight on with no rod-thread code on the yoke. Order the -S code if you want the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches; without it no sensor can be fitted. Because the piston drifts when air is lost, pair any held load with a rod lock or pilot check valve.
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 TACE100X55 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3769.9 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 5497.8 N and pulls 5277.9 N; the theoretical maximum is 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Working pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and rod speed runs 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at both ends and FB, CA, CB, CR or FTC mounting options. Sensors work only with the optional -S magnet code, which enables CMSE / DMSE switches; without -S there is no magnet and no sensor can be mounted.
