Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE32X15
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE32X15 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 15mm 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.

About the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE32X15
The TACE32X15 is a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 32 mm bore with a 15 mm stroke, a 12 mm hard-chrome S45C piston rod and a 1/8" port. Twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a gripper or plate stays square without an external guide. 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 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs, guards and gantries where a full-length body will not. For sizing, plan on roughly 241 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa (about 0.6 of the push rating), which lifts about 20 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches - without -S no magnet is fitted.

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 (Ø32mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 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.

Where the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE32X15 Is Used
CNC fixture clamping
Clamps an aluminium housing in a milling jig: the 15 mm stroke clears the part for loading, about 241 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa holds it down, and the twin-guide yoke keeps the clamp pad from twisting under side load.
Carton reject push-off
A short kick at the end of a packaging conveyor nudges misaligned cartons off the belt; 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa is ample for a light carton, and the compact body tucks under the guard rail.
Small-part press station
Presses a bearing into a plastic boss on an electronics assembly bench; the roughly 20 kg vertical-lift equivalent covers the part and tooling weight, and the 1/8" port keeps the plumbing simple.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE32X15 the Right Cylinder?
For a 15 mm stroke, match the load against 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa. If you need more muscle, the 40 mm bore gives 628.3 N and the 50 mm bore 981.7 N at the same pressure; for lighter clamping, a 25 mm bore delivers 245.4 N. The cylinder does not hold position when air is lost - the piston drifts - so add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay put. FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC mountings all fit, and the -S code adds the magnet for CMSE / DMSE sensing.
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 TACE32X15 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.1 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa, 563 N push and 483.8 N pull; the theoretical maximum is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air filtered to 40 um, at 30-500 mm/s, from -20 to +70 C. For real work, plan on about 241 N (0.6 of push), which lifts roughly 20 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.
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. FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC mountings are available. The magnet is the optional -S code: this model has no magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches can only be used if you order TACE32X15S.
