The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X80 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 80mm 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.
Double acting and non-rotating, the AirTAC TACE100X80 pairs a 100 mm bore with an 80 mm stroke inside an ISO 21287 compact body. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3769.9 N; at 0.7 MPa those figures rise to 5497.8 N push and 5277.9 N pull, with a theoretical peak of 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a heavy plate or gripper stays square without any external guide.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated 20 mm rod saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters in wide presses and gantries where every millimetre of envelope counts. Plan for roughly 2356 N of real work at 0.5 MPa (about 0.6 of the push force), enough to lift about 200 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed runs 30-500 mm/s, and a fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke energy. The magnet is optional: order the -S code to enable CMSE / DMSE switches.

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.

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.
Riveting or clinching battery tray brackets on an automotive assembly line, where the 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa leaves ample headroom and the twin-guide yoke keeps the punch square to the hole.
Vertical handling of aluminium die-cast housings up to about 200 kg on a machine-tending gantry, using the 2:1 margin on the roughly 400 kgf theoretical lift of the 100 mm bore.
Driving sliding guard gates or index stoppers on a pallet conveyor, where the short ISO 21287 body fits between guard rails and the 80 mm stroke covers the full lock travel.
At 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa this 100 mm bore sits at the top of the ACE range; if your load needs under 2513.3 N, the 80 mm bore TACE80X80 handles the same job in a smaller envelope. The piston drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve wherever a held load must not move. Mount with an FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR or FTC feet, and specify the optional -S magnet if CMSE / DMSE position switches are planned. The rod end is a female M12x1.75 thread and the port is 1/4" PT.
Quick checklist
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 is 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed runs 30-500 mm/s, and the working medium is 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. Mounting options are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC. CMSE or DMSE switches work only when you order the optional -S magnet; the standard TACE100X80 carries no magnet. Note that the piston drifts when air is lost, so use a rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a load.
