The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE32X35 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 35mm 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.
Double acting and non-rotating, the AirTAC TACE32X35 uses twin guide rods on a yoke to stop tooling rotation and carry side load, so a gripper or plate stays square without an external guide. On a 32 mm bore and 35 mm stroke it pushes 402.1 N and pulls 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, rising to 563 N and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it fits tight jigs, guards and gantries. A hard-anodized aluminium body, an S45C hard-chrome rod with female M8x1.25 thread and a fixed TPU bumper at both ends round out the build. For sizing, count on roughly 241 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa - enough to lift about 20 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

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.
| 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.

| S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSE / DMSE sensors (omit for no magnet). |
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.
The twin-guide yoke keeps a gripper jaw from rotating while the 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa clamps small aluminium housings through a 35 mm stroke.
A short 35 mm stroke suits pressing small bearings or standoffs into plastic housings; the 563 N push at 0.7 MPa covers most light press work on a bench fixture.
Mounted under a milling fixture, the compact body sits where a full-length cylinder will not, holding brackets or plates square thanks to the non-rotating twin guides.
For lighter duty at the same stroke, a TACE25 pushes 245.4 N at 0.5 MPa; for more muscle, the TACE40 reaches 628.3 N. Keep in mind the piston drifts the moment air is lost - it never holds or brakes a load, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve wherever a held position matters. Mount with an FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR or FTC, and order the optional -S code if CMSE / DMSE switch sensing is planned; without -S no magnet is fitted.
Quick checklist
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. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and rod speed runs 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um.
Position sensing needs the optional -S magnet code - without it no magnet is fitted and no CMSE or DMSE switch will read. Mountings are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC. The ISO 21287 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.
