Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE32X30
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE32X30 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 30mm 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 TACE32X30
The TACE32X30 is a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 32 mm bore with a 30 mm stroke in a hard-anodized aluminium body that saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. 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.
Plan for 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, or about 41 kg at the full 402.1 N. The 12 mm rod is S45C steel with hard chrome and a female M8x1.25 thread; the port is 1/8" PT. This version carries no magnet - order the optional -S code to enable CMSE / DMSE switches. Speed runs 30-500 mm/s at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), with a fixed TPU bumper at each end.

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 TACE32X30 Is Used
CNC fixture clamping
The 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa clamps small aluminium or steel workpieces in machining fixtures, and the 30 mm stroke suits shallow clamp arms inside tight fixture plates.
Gripper actuation on robot arms
Twin guide rods keep a two-jaw gripper from rotating while picking stamped brackets, so no external guide is needed on the end-of-arm tooling.
Connector press-in station
About 241 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa presses terminals and dowels into PCB housings on an electronics assembly line, with the short body fitting under a low guard.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE32X30 the Right Cylinder?
If 402.1 N of push at 0.5 MPa is more than the job needs, step down to a 25 mm bore (245.4 N push); if the load is heavier, a 40 mm bore delivers 628.3 N at the same pressure. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost - it does not lock or hold a load, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a held position matters. Mounting options are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC, with no rod-thread code on the yoke; the optional -S magnet pairs with CMSE / DMSE switches for end-of-stroke 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 TACE32X30 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the 32 mm bore pushes 402.1 N and pulls 345.6 N. At 0.7 MPa push rises to 563 N (pull 483.8 N), and the theoretical maximum is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
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 both stroke ends and FB, CA/CB, CR or FTC mounting. Sensing requires the optional -S magnet code - this standard version has no magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches only work when -S is ordered.
