The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE32X25S is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 25mm 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.
This 32 mm bore TACE is a double acting, non-rotating cylinder: air drives the rod out and pulls it back, while twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a gripper or clamp 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 maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -S magnet this model carries lets CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches read position directly from the body slots.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits tight jigs, guards and gantries where a full-length cylinder will not. For sizing, plan on roughly 241 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa (about 0.6 of the push figure), enough to lift about 20 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Construction is a hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated 12 mm rod, a female M8x1.25 rod thread, fixed TPU bumpers at both ends, air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), and a speed range of 30-500 mm/s.

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.

| 0.7 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.
Clamps aluminium brackets on a milling jig; the twin-guide yoke keeps the clamp plate square without an external guide, and 402.1 N at 0.5 MPa gives a firm, repeatable grip on each cycle.
Stops PCB pallets on an SMT conveyor; the 25 mm stroke and about 20 kg vertical-lift capability handle light pallet loads, while the fitted -S magnet feeds position signals to a CMSE switch.
Squares small cartons ahead of a taping head on a packaging machine; the compact body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits inside tight machine frames.
For a 25 mm stroke in this force class, bore 25 delivers 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa and bore 40 delivers 628.3 N - step down or up to match the load instead of oversizing. The piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a held position matters. FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC mounting cover most frames, and the fitted -S magnet pairs with CMSE / DMSE switches for end-of-stroke or mid-stroke sensing.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.1 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa that becomes 563 N push and 483.8 N pull, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The rod end carries a female M8x1.25 thread, the air port is 1/8" PT, and the 12 mm rod runs at 30-500 mm/s across a 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) supply.
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 shock. Mount it with FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR or FTC hardware. Because this model carries the optional -S magnet, CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches clamp straight onto the body slots; without that code there is no magnet.
