The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE32X100S is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 100mm stroke, 1/8" 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.
A double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the TACE32X100S pairs a 32 mm bore with a full 100 mm stroke in a body that saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.1 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa those figures rise to 563 N push and 483.8 N pull, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a gripper or plate stays square without any external guide.
For real work at 0.5 MPa, plan on roughly 241 N - about 60% of the push rating - which lifts around 20 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body runs a hard-chrome plated S45C rod, a fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke energy at both ends, and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches for end-position feedback. Supply air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, 1/8" PT port, female rod thread M8x1.25.

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.

| 0.5 MPa | 402 N | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | 484 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 82 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.

ACE-family variants: ACE (double acting), ASE / ATE (single acting push / pull), ACED (double rod), ACEJ (adjustable stroke), TACE / TACED (non-rotating twin-guide yoke). Mounting accessories: FA / FB flange, LB foot, CA / CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, FTC; plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G.
Clamping a steel bracket in an automotive weld jig at up to 402.1 N, with the 100 mm stroke retracting the clamp arm fully clear for robot loading.
Driving a pusher that moves PET bottles between lanes; the twin-guide yoke keeps the paddle square to the product stream under light side load.
Closing a two-jaw gripper on machined housings in a pick-and-place cell - the non-rotating guide rods hold jaw alignment without an external guide.
At 0.5 MPa this 32 mm bore pushes 402.1 N - if your load needs less, the 25 mm bore delivers 245.4 N in the same short-body format; if it needs more, step up to the 40 mm bore at 628.3 N. The piston drifts when air is lost, so for a load that must stay clamped add a rod lock or pilot check valve. Mount with an FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR or FTC, and note this model already carries the -S magnet that enables CMSE / DMSE switch mounting.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.1 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa push is 563 N and pull is 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. Mounting options are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC. This model carries the -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped into the body slots for position feedback.
