Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE12X35
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE12X35 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø12mm bore and 35mm 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 TACE12X35
The AirTAC TACE12X35 is a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder to ISO 21287: a 12 mm bore with a 35 mm stroke that pushes 56.5 N and pulls 42.4 N at 0.5 MPa, rising to 79.2 N and 59.4 N at 0.7 MPa. Twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a small gripper or pusher plate stays square without any external guide. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is exactly why it drops into tight jigs, guards and gantries a full-length cylinder cannot enter.
Construction is a hard-anodized aluminium-alloy body with an S45C carbon-steel piston rod, hard-chrome plated for long seal life; a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 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. Air ports are M5x0.8 and the rod ends in a female M3x0.5 thread. For position sensing, order the optional -S magnet so CMSE / DMSE switches can be mounted - without -S there is no magnet. For planning, keep real work to about 34 N at 0.5 MPa (roughly 0.6 of the push figure); vertically that matches a part of around 2.9 kg with a 2:1 margin.

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 TACE12X35 Is Used
PCB fixture pin ejection
Ejects locating pins or blanking caps from electronics assembly fixtures; the 35 mm stroke clears a 30 mm nest and the twin-guide yoke keeps the pin square to the board.
Small-part presence push-off
Pushes misaligned connectors or caps off a sorting conveyor lane; 56.5 N at 0.5 MPa is ample for parts under 100 g, and the compact body fits inside the guard frame.
Lab slide-gate actuation
Opens and closes a sample slide gate on compact analytical equipment, where the short ISO 21287 body and M5x0.8 ports suit tight instrument panels.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE12X35 the Right Cylinder?
At 12 mm this is the smallest bore in the TACE range, sized for light ejection, clamping and sensing tasks. If 56.5 N at 0.5 MPa is marginal, step up to the 16 mm bore (100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa) before extending pressure. The 35 mm stroke sits inside the 50 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a catalogue item. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost - it never locks a load - so add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a held position matters. Mount with FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR or FTC feet, and add the -S code if CMSE / DMSE switch detection is 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 TACE12X35 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the 12 mm bore pushes 56.5 N and pulls 42.4 N; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 79.2 N push and 59.4 N pull. The theoretical maximum is 11.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. For sizing, plan on about 34 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which corresponds to lifting roughly 2.9 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed is 30-500 mm/s.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb end-of-stroke shock. Mounting options are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC. Position sensing requires the optional -S magnet code - only then can CMSE / DMSE switches be mounted on the body; without -S there is no magnet fitted.
