Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X90S
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X90S is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 90mm 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 TACE100X90S
The AirTAC TACE100X90S is a double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact cylinder: a 100 mm bore driving a 20 mm hard-chrome-plated S45C rod through a 90 mm stroke. 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 maximum of 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
For sizing, plan on roughly 2356 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa (about 0.6 of the rated force) - a vertical lift equivalent of about 400 kg, or halve it to 200 kg for a 2:1 margin and match a real part weight. The hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits heavy press frames and gantries where a full-length body will not. Because this model carries the -S magnet code, CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted directly on the body for end-of-stroke signalling.

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 TACE100X90S Is Used
Bearing press-fit station
On an automotive machining line, the 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa presses bearings into housing bores, while the 90 mm stroke clears part loading and the twin-guide yoke keeps the ram square to the fixture.
Weld-fixture clamping gantry
Clamping large sheet-metal weld fixtures needs steady side-load tolerance; the non-rotating twin guide rods hold the clamp plate aligned cycle after cycle, and the short body tucks under the gantry beam.
Casting lift-off elevator
Lifting aluminium castings off a die-cast conveyor: with a 2:1 margin the cylinder handles parts up to about 200 kg vertically, and the -S magnet feeds a CMSE switch to confirm the down position before the robot picks.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X90S the Right Cylinder?
Step down to an 80 mm bore (2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa) if your load is lighter; nothing in the ACE range out-pushes this 100 mm bore's 3927 N at 0.5 MPa, so it is the top of the series. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - it never holds or brakes a load - so add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a raised load must stay put. Mounting choices are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC; the yoke has no rod-thread code and ends in a female M12x1.75 thread, with PT ports as standard (G on request) and a 90 mm stroke well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore.
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 TACE100X90S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3769.9 N; at 0.7 MPa push is 5497.8 N and pull 5277.9 N, with a theoretical maximum of 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, on air filtered to 40 um. In practice, budget about 2356 N of working push at 0.5 MPa - roughly a 400 kg vertical lift equivalent, or 200 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a hard-anodized aluminium barrel, threaded aluminium covers and a fixed TPU bumper at each end that absorbs end-of-stroke energy. Mounting options are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC, and the rod ends in a female M12x1.75 thread. Since this model is ordered with the -S magnet, CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches clamp straight onto the body slots for position detection.
