The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X70S is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 70mm 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.
A double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder to ISO 21287, the TACE100X70S pairs a 100 mm bore and 70 mm stroke with a hard-anodized aluminium body and an S45C hard-chrome-plated 20 mm rod. Twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a gripper or press plate stays square without an external guide. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3769.9 N; at 0.7 MPa those figures climb to 5497.8 N and 5277.9 N, with a theoretical 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 heavy presses, clamping fixtures and gantries where a full-length cylinder will not go. For sizing, plan on roughly 2356 N of real work at 0.5 MPa (about 0.6 of the push force), which is around 400 kg equivalent - so match loads up to about 200 kg vertical for a 2:1 margin. The -S code on this model means the magnet is fitted, letting CMSE / DMSE switches clamp into the body slots. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end.

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.

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.

ACE-family variants: ACE (double acting), ASE / ATE (single acting push / pull), ACED (double rod), ACEJ (adjustable stroke), TACE / TACED (non-rotating twin-guide yoke). Mounting accessories: FA / FB flange, LB foot, CA / CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, FTC; plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G.
On an automotive axle line, the twin-guide yoke presses bearings into housings with about 2356 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa while the guide rods keep the press tool square to the bore.
Clamping large steel frames before robotic welding: the 100 mm bore holds the joint closed through thermal distortion, and the 70 mm stroke clears robot access in a tight fixture footprint.
Raising a heavy die insert or stopper block of about 200 kg in a stamping cell, with the 2:1 margin built in; add a pilot check valve because the piston will drift if air pressure drops.
This is the top of the ACE bore range: where an 80 mm bore (2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa) leaves too little margin for a press or clamp load, the 100 mm bore here gives 3927 N push and 3769.9 N pull at the same pressure. The 70 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. Note the piston drifts if air is lost - it never locks or brakes a load - so add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a vertical load must stay put. Mounting options are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC; the female M12x1.75 rod thread and 1/4" PT port suit standard tooling, and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches for end-of-stroke signals.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the 100 mm bore pushes 3927 N and pulls 3769.9 N. At 0.7 MPa push rises to 5497.8 N (pull 5277.9 N), and the theoretical maximum is 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi), running on air filtered to 40 um.
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. Because this model carries the -S code, the magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount in the body slots for position signals. FB, CA, CB, CR and FTC mountings are available; for outline dimensions, confirm from datasheet.
