Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X5S
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X5S 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 TACE100X5S
Made for heavy, very short travel work, the TACE100X5S is a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder to ISO 21287 with a 100 mm bore and a 5 mm stroke. Twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a press plate or gripper stays square with no external guide. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3769.9 N; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 5497.8 N, with a theoretical maximum of 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated 20 mm rod runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, from -20 to +70 C, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slips into tight dies and fixtures. Plan for about 2356 N of real work at 0.5 MPa (roughly 0.6 of the push figure): it can lift about 400 kg vertically in theory, or about 200 kg with a 2:1 margin. The -S magnet this model carries accepts CMSE / DMSE switches, and the rod ends in a female M12x1.75 thread with a 1/4" PT port.

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 TACE100X5S Is Used
Bearing press on an automotive assembly line
A 5 mm nudge is often all a press station needs to seat a bearing or bushing into a housing. With 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa the 100 mm bore seats the part, and the twin-guide yoke keeps the ram square to the bore without a separate guide column.
Fixture clamp on a CNC machining table
Clamping a steel workpiece before milling takes force, not travel. This cylinder delivers about 2356 N of usable clamping force at 0.5 MPa in a body about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, leaving room inside the fixture.
Kick-off of heavy castings from a stamping die
Ejecting a heavy casting off a die face needs a hard, short push. The 100 mm bore gives about 400 kg of theoretical vertical lift at 0.5 MPa (about 200 kg with a 2:1 margin), and the fitted -S magnet with a CMSE switch confirms the eject stroke to the PLC.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X5S the Right Cylinder?
At 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa this is the top of the ACE range; if your load needs less, the 80 mm bore still delivers 2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, and there is no larger bore above 100 mm. The 5 mm stroke is well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a standard part. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost - it is not a lock - so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. Mounting choices are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC; the -S magnet is already fitted on this code, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be mounted directly.
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 TACE100X5S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the 100 mm bore pushes 3927 N and pulls 3769.9 N. At 0.7 MPa push is 5497.8 N and pull 5277.9 N. The theoretical maximum is 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. For sizing, plan on about 2356 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which is roughly 0.6 of the push rating, or about 200 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so the cylinder fits inside dies, guards and gantries. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clamped into the body slots for end-position sensing. Mounting options include FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC, and the rod ends in a female M12x1.75 thread with a 1/4" PT port.
