Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE32X40S
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE32X40S 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 TACE32X40S
The AirTAC TACE32X40S is a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 32 mm bore drives a 12 mm hard-chrome S45C rod over a 40 mm stroke, while twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load without any external guide. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.1 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa those figures climb to 563 N push and 483.8 N pull, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. For real work, plan on roughly 241 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 20 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.
The hard-anodized aluminium body, roller-burnished for wear resistance, saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so this unit fits tight jigs, guards and gantries a full-length cylinder cannot. Because it carries the -S magnet code, CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches clamp straight into the body slots for end-of-stroke detection. A fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke energy, ports are 1/8" with PT thread, the female rod thread is M8x1.25, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s across 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).

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 TACE32X40S Is Used
Pick and place of machined housings
On a small CNC tending cell, the twin-guide yoke keeps a vacuum plate square over aluminium housing blanks while the 40 mm stroke covers a short transfer, and about 20 kg of vertical lift capacity with a 2:1 margin matches typical part plus gripper weight.
Cap press-off on a filling line
A packaging line uses the 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa to seat caps on 500 ml bottles at 30-500 mm/s, with the compact body sliding into the guard space next to the conveyor and the -S magnet triggering a CMSE switch at the done position.
PCB test fixture clamping
In an electronics test rig, the non-rotating twin guide rods hold a pogo-pin plate parallel to the board so pins land true, the fixed TPU bumper softens each close, and roughly 241 N of usable clamp force at 0.5 MPa holds the fixture closed through the test cycle.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE32X40S the Right Cylinder?
Size by force first: if your load needs under about 245 N of push at 0.5 MPa, the TACE25 saves space with 245.4 N; step up to the TACE40 (628.3 N at 0.5 MPa) when the 402.1 N of this 32 mm bore leaves no margin. The 40 mm stroke sits well inside the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a catalogue item, not a made-to-order build. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay put. Mount with FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR or FTC feet, and keep the -S magnet on this model so CMSE / DMSE switches can be added at any time.
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 TACE32X40S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the 32 mm bore 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. A practical rule is to plan on about 241 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which is roughly a 20 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it suits tight jigs and gantries. Mounting choices are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC feet, with a female M8x1.25 rod thread and 1/8" PT ports. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted in the body slots; without the -S code there is no magnet.
