Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE32X50
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE32X50 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 50mm 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 TACE32X50
A double acting, non-rotating actuator built to ISO 21287, the TACE32X50 pairs a 32 mm bore with a 50 mm stroke in a short hard-anodized aluminium barrel. 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 ceiling of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a gripper or clamp plate stays square without any external guide.
The short frame saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is what lets it fit inside tight machine guards and gantries. For sizing, treat roughly 241 N (0.6 of the push force) as the usable working effort at 0.5 MPa; in vertical terms that is about 41 kg of lift, or plan for about 20 kg when you want a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke shock at both ends, and the optional -S magnet is what allows CMSE or DMSE switches to report position - with no -S code there is no magnet at all. The rod end is a female M8x1.25 thread on a 12 mm hard-chrome-plated S45C rod; supply air is filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C.

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 TACE32X50 Is Used
CNC fixture clamping
On a milling jig, the twin guide rods keep the clamp pad square to the part as it closes, so the 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa seats an aluminium housing without twisting the strap.
Carton flap tuck press
A 50 mm stroke is enough to fold and hold a flap while the glue sets on a small-box line, and the short ISO 21287 body slots into the narrow gap above the conveyor where a full-length cylinder will not.
Vertical part lift in an assembly cell
With about 41 kg of vertical lift at 0.5 MPa, this bore raises small castings between stations; halve that to roughly 20 kg for a 2:1 margin, and order the -S magnet if a CMSE switch must confirm the top position.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE32X50 the Right Cylinder?
A 25 mm bore gives 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa and a 40 mm bore gives 628.3 N, so choose this 32 mm barrel when the load falls between the two - 402.1 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa. The piston drifts the moment air is lost, so it never holds a suspended load on its own; add a rod lock or pilot check valve where position must be kept. FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC mountings bolt straight on, and the -S code is required if CMSE / DMSE switching is planned. Longer standard strokes exist for this bore, so the 50 mm stroke sits comfortably mid-range.
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 TACE32X50 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the 32 mm bore pushes 402.1 N and pulls 345.6 N. Raise the supply to 0.7 MPa and push rises to 563 N with pull at 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder - the short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a hard-anodized aluminium barrel, an S45C hard-chrome rod and a fixed TPU bumper at each end. Mounting choices are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC. Position sensing needs the optional -S magnet: order it and CMSE or DMSE switches can be fitted, but without -S there is no magnet in the piston.
