Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE12X10
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE12X10 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø12mm bore and 10mm stroke, M5×0.8 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 TACE12X10
Double acting and non-rotating, the AirTAC TACE12X10 is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a 12 mm bore and a 10 mm stroke. Twin guide rods mounted on a yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a small gripper or plate stays square without an external guide. The hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and a fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke energy at both ends.
At 0.5 MPa this bore pushes 56.5 N and pulls 42.4 N; in practice plan on about 34 N of real work, which lifts roughly 2.9 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The 6 mm rod carries a female M3x0.5 thread and air enters through an M5x0.8 PT port. Speed runs 30-500 mm/s across 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). Position sensing requires the optional -S magnet ordered for CMSE or DMSE switches; without -S there is no magnet.

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 (Ø12mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 57 N | 42 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 79 N | 59 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 12 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 TACE12X10 Is Used
Dial-assembly pin ejection
Ejects a finished shaft or pin from a dial fixture with 56.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while the twin-guide yoke keeps the ejector pin from twisting off line.
Go/no-go gating of small clips
A 10 mm stroke is enough to push a moulded clip past a gate on an electronics assembly line; order the optional -S magnet to add a DMSE switch for pass confirmation.
Micro-dosing slide in lab automation
Drives a small dosing head over 10 mm at 30-500 mm/s; the short body, about 50% the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, fits inside benchtop guarding.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE12X10 the Right Cylinder?
Bore 12 is the smallest in the TACE range, so if 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa is tight for the job, step up to bore 16 (100.5 N push) or bore 20 (157.1 N push). Remember the piston drifts when air is lost - for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. The 10 mm stroke sits well inside the 50 mm standard limit for this bore. Choose FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR or FTC mounting, and add the optional -S magnet if CMSE or DMSE switches are planned.
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 TACE12X10 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 56.5 N and pulls 42.4 N. At 0.7 MPa the figures rise to 79.2 N push and 59.4 N pull. The theoretical maximum is 11.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because it is double acting, air drives the rod in both directions across a 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) supply.
The ISO 21287 body is a short hard-anodized aluminium cylinder that saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. Mount it with FB, CA, CB, CR or FTC hardware. For position sensing order the optional -S magnet, which lets CMSE or DMSE switches read the piston; without -S no magnet is fitted.
