Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X60
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X60 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 60mm 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 TACE100X60
A double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the TACE100X60 pairs a 100 mm bore with a 60 mm stroke and a 20 mm hard-chrome-plated S45C rod running on a twin-guide yoke. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3769.9 N, rising to 5497.8 N at 0.7 MPa - a force class aimed at heavy clamping and press work. The short hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into presses, guards and gantries where a full-length body simply will not go.
Because the twin guide rods carry side load and stop the tooling rotating, a gripper or press plate stays square with no external guide. For sizing, treat roughly 2356 N (about 0.6 of the 0.5 MPa push) as the realistic working force; in vertical terms this bore can lift about 400 kg at 0.5 MPa, or about 200 kg if you keep a 2:1 margin. Air supply runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed spans 30-500 mm/s, and a fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke shock at both ends. No magnet is fitted on this code - order the optional -S version if you need CMSE or DMSE switch positions.

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 TACE100X60 Is Used
Pressing bearings into housings
On an automotive component line, the 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa drives interference-fit bearings and bushings into gearbox housings, and the 60 mm stroke covers part insertion without wasted travel.
Clamping weld fixtures
In a body-shop weld cell, the twin guide rods hold the clamp plate square over steel stampings even under side load, so panels stay registered while the guns fire.
Actuating heavy slide gates
On a bulk-material hopper under a pallet area, the yoke keeps the gate plate from twisting; with a 2:1 margin the bore still lifts about 200 kg vertically at 0.5 MPa.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X60 the Right Cylinder?
At 0.5 MPa this 100 mm bore delivers 3927 N push; the next size down, the 80 mm bore, gives 2513.3 N, so drop a size if your load sits under 2500 N - there is no larger compact bore in this series. Keep in mind the piston drifts the moment air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve wherever the load must stay put. Mounting choices are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC; the rod ends in a female M12x1.75 thread and the yoke carries no rod-thread code. If your controller needs position feedback, specify the -S code so CMSE or DMSE switches can be fitted.
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 TACE100X60 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 at 1.0 MPa is 800.9 kgf. Working pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed spans 30-500 mm/s.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a 20 mm hard-chrome S45C rod and a fixed TPU bumper at each end that only decelerates the stroke - it never holds a load. Mounting options are FB, CA, CB, CR and FTC, the rod thread is female M12x1.75, and the port is 1/4". Sensors require the optional -S magnet code; without it no CMSE or DMSE switch can be mounted.
