Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE32X15S
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE32X15S 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 TACE32X15S
The TACE32X15S is a double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a 32 mm bore and a short 15 mm stroke. Twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a gripper or mounting 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 rise to 563 N push and 483.8 N pull, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
For sizing, plan on roughly 241 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa (about 0.6 of the push rating); vertically that equals about 41 kg, or around 20 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated rod resists wear, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and because this is the -S version the magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE switches mount directly in the body slots.

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 TACE32X15S Is Used
Label stamping head on a packaging line
The 15 mm stroke and 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa give a short, firm press to seat labels or date codes on cartons, while the twin-guide yoke keeps the stamp head square to the surface.
Pick-and-place gripper on an electronics feeder
Non-rotating twin guide rods hold gripper jaws aligned without an external guide, and the compact body fits the tight envelope above a PCB feeder where a full-length cylinder will not.
Small clamp on a CNC fixture plate
About 241 N of practical clamping force at 0.5 MPa secures aluminium brackets during drilling, with the FB flange bolting flat against the fixture and the -S magnet feeding a CMSE switch to confirm clamping.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE32X15S the Right Cylinder?
At 32 mm bore this model sits mid-range: the 25 mm bore pushes 245.4 N at 0.5 MPa if your load is lighter, while the 40 mm bore reaches 628.3 N if you need more. The 15 mm stroke suits short clamp or index moves inside tight fixtures. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay put. Mounting choices are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC; the rod end is female M8x1.25 and the port is 1/8" PT. This -S model already carries the magnet for CMSE / DMSE switch mounting.
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 TACE32X15S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.1 N and pulls 345.6 N. At 0.7 MPa the figures are 563 N push and 483.8 N pull, and the theoretical maximum is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), temperature range is -20 to +70 C, and speed is 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 include FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC. As the -S version, the magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches clip into the body slots. The rod end is female M8x1.25 and the air port is 1/8" PT.
