Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X55S
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X55S 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 TACE100X55S
The TACE100X55S is a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 100 mm bore drives a 20 mm hard-chrome-plated S45C rod through a 55 mm stroke, with twin guide rods on a yoke holding the tooling square and carrying side load without an external guide. 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 maximum of 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. In practice, plan for roughly 2356 N (about 240 kg) of usable force at 0.5 MPa, or expect it to lift about 200 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into heavy jigs and press frames where a full-length body will not fit. A hard-anodized aluminium body, fixed TPU bumpers at both ends and air operation from 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-500 mm/s keep it serviceable. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches can be mounted for end-of-stroke sensing, and the 1/4" port plus female M12x1.75 rod thread are standard for this bore.

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 TACE100X55S Is Used
Bushings press staking
Staking steel bushings into aluminium gearbox housings on an automotive assembly line, where 3927 N of push at 0.5 MPa gives ample press force inside a short 55 mm stroke.
Weld fixture clamping
Clamping large steel stampings in a robotic weld cell; the twin-guide yoke keeps the clamp pad square under side load so the joint stays aligned bead after bead.
Die insert lifting
Lifting die inserts of about 200 kg between a stamping press and an inspection bench, using the vertical-lift margin the 100 mm bore provides at 0.5 MPa.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X55S the Right Cylinder?
The 100 mm bore is the top of the TACE range; if 3927 N of push at 0.5 MPa is more than the job needs, step down to the 80 mm bore, which delivers 2513.3 N push and 2356.2 N pull at the same pressure. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - for a held load, add a rod lock or pilot check valve. Mounting choices are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC, and the fitted -S magnet pairs with CMSE / DMSE switches. Strokes to 300 mm are standard for this bore, so the 55 mm size is a catalogue item, not a made-to-order stroke.
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 TACE100X55S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3769.9 N; at 0.7 MPa push is 5497.8 N and pull is 5277.9 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 800.9 kgf. Supply air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi); proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi) and speed range is 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 include FB flange and CA/CB clevis. Because this model carries the optional -S magnet, CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be fitted for end-of-stroke signals.
