Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X80S
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X80S 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.

About the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X80S
The TACE100X80S is a double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a 100 mm bore and an 80 mm stroke. Air drives the rod in both directions, and the twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating while carrying side load, so a gripper or press plate stays square without an external guide. At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 3927 N and pulls with 3769.9 N, rising to 5497.8 N on push at 0.7 MPa.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated 20 mm rod keeps the package short: about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder is saved, which matters inside heavy jigs and guarded cells. Plan on roughly 2356 N of real work at 0.5 MPa (about 0.6 of the rated push), and expect it to lift about 200 kg vertically once a 2:1 margin is applied. The -S code on this model means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted anywhere along the body slots.

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 TACE100X80S Is Used
Automotive bracket staking press
The 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa gives a 100 mm bore enough muscle to stake or swage steel brackets in an 80 mm stroke cycle, with the twin-guide yoke keeping the punch square to the die.
Casting lift-off at a foundry cell
With about 200 kg of vertical lift available at a 2:1 margin, the cylinder raises aluminium castings off a jig; the -S magnet and a DMSE switch flag the home position to the PLC.
CNC fixture clamping of gear housings
The short ISO 21287 body fits inside tight machining-fixture walls where a full-length profile cylinder cannot, clamping grey-iron gear housings with roughly 2356 N of usable force.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X80S the Right Cylinder?
At the top of the ACE range, this 100 mm bore delivers 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa; if your load needs less than about 2513 N, the 80 mm bore does the same job in a smaller envelope. The 80 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - it never locks or brakes - so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. Mounting choices are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC, and the rod end carries a female M12x1.75 thread with a 1/4" PT port.
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 TACE100X80S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 3927 N and pulls with 3769.9 N. At 0.7 MPa those figures rise to 5497.8 N push and 5277.9 N pull. 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, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 construction saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbing end-of-stroke energy. Because this model carries the -S code, the magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots. Mounting options include FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC, the rod end is female M12x1.75, and the air port is 1/4" PT.
