Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE32X40
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE32X40 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 40mm 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 TACE32X40
The TACE32X40 is a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder to ISO 21287, with a 32 mm bore, 40 mm stroke and a 12 mm rod. 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 - a real edge over a plain compact cylinder. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.1 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa those figures rise to 563 N and 483.8 N, with a theoretical maximum of 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 fits tight jigs, guards and gantries where a full-length body will not. Air to either port extends or retracts the rod, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. For sizing, plan on roughly 241 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa (about 60% of the rating); the full 402.1 N equals about 41 kg of vertical lift, so with a 2:1 margin it lifts about 20 kg. The magnet is optional: order the -S code to enable CMSE / DMSE switches, otherwise no magnet is fitted. Speed 30-500 mm/s; 1/8" ports; female rod thread M8x1.25.

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 TACE32X40 Is Used
Pick-and-place on a packaging machine
The 40 mm stroke covers short transfer moves on a carton line, and the twin-guide yoke keeps the suction plate square to the product. With about 20 kg of vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin, it handles typical packaged goods without oversizing.
Reject gate on a bottling conveyor
Side load from the gate arm is carried by the twin guide rods, not the rod seal, and the short ISO 21287 body slots between conveyor frames where a longer profile cylinder cannot. Push 402.1 N at 0.5 MPa is ample for a lightweight flap gate.
Clamp fixture on a CNC jig
Plan on about 241 N of usable clamp force at 0.5 MPa - enough for holding aluminium or plastic workpieces during light machining. The fixed TPU bumper quiets the clamp at both ends of the 40 mm stroke, and an FB flange bolts straight to the jig plate.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE32X40 the Right Cylinder?
Size both ways before you commit: the 25 mm bore pushes 245.4 N at 0.5 MPa if your load is lighter, while the 40 mm bore pushes 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa if you need more headroom. Remember this cylinder does not hold position when air is lost - the piston drifts - so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. Mounting choices are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC, and if you need position feedback specify the optional -S magnet so CMSE / DMSE switches can be fitted.
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 TACE32X40 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.1 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 563 N and pulls 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi), running on air filtered to 40 um at 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end of the 40 mm stroke. Mounting options are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC. Position sensing needs the optional -S magnet code: only then can CMSE / DMSE switches be mounted on the body slots. Without -S there is no magnet, and the female rod thread is M8x1.25 with 1/8" ports.
