Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE12X35S
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE12X35S 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 TACE12X35S
The TACE12X35S is a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder built to the AirTAC ACE short-body format. Its 12 mm bore pushes 56.5 N and pulls 42.4 N at 0.5 MPa, rising to 79.2 N push and 59.4 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical peak of 11.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a small gripper or plate stays square with no external guide. The 6 mm rod carries a female M3x0.5 thread, and the air port is M5x0.8.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome-plated rod saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so this 35 mm stroke unit slots into tight jigs, fixtures and guarding where a full-length cylinder will not fit. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. Because the -S magnet code is ordered on this model, CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots. In practice, plan on roughly 34 N of usable thrust at 0.5 MPa, enough to lift about 3 kg vertically 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 TACE12X35S Is Used
Wafer push-off in inspection jigs
A 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa is enough to nudge a silicon wafer off a vacuum chuck into a cassette, and the twin-guide yoke keeps the pusher square to the chuck face in a tight tool footprint.
Cap ejection on a bottling line
The 35 mm stroke ejects mis-oriented caps from a sorting pocket at up to 500 mm/s, and the short ISO 21287 body fits inside the guard where a longer profile cylinder cannot.
Lens carrier indexing in test fixtures
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm extend and retract of a 35 mm lens-carrier slide, while the non-rotating rods keep the optic aligned without an external guide.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE12X35S the Right Cylinder?
Bore 12 is the smallest in the ACE range, so the only sizing move from here is up: bore 16 delivers 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa if 56.5 N leaves no margin. Note that the piston drifts when air is lost - it never holds or brakes a load - so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the position must persist. Mounting choices are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC, and the fitted -S magnet means CMSE / DMSE switches can be added at any time.
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 TACE12X35S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the 12 mm bore pushes 56.5 N and pulls 42.4 N. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 79.2 N and pulls 59.4 N. The theoretical maximum is 11.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. For real work, budget about 34 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 3 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.
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 each end to absorb end-of-stroke shock. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches mount in the body slots for end-of-stroke sensing. Mounting options include FB flange and CA/CB clevis; operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed is 30-500 mm/s.
