The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE32X50S 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.
Air pressure extends and retracts the rod on the TACE32X50S, a double acting compact cylinder built to the ISO 21287 short-body format. 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. The 32 mm bore delivers 402.1 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 563 N push at 0.7 MPa, through a 12 mm hard-chrome-plated S45C rod with a female M8x1.25 thread. Air ports are 1/8" PT, operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
The hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs, guards and gantries where a full-length body will not. Fixed TPU bumpers at both ends absorb end-of-stroke shock. Because this model carries the -S magnet code, CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted directly in the body slots. For planning: keep real work to about 241 N at 0.5 MPa (roughly 0.6 of the push figure), and expect a vertical lift of about 20 kg with a 2:1 margin - the theoretical maximum is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.

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.

| 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.

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 vacuum plate square over a PCB tray, and the 20 kg vertical-lift margin covers tray plus payload at 0.5 MPa inside a tight machine envelope.
402.1 N of push at 0.5 MPa holds flaps closed during taping, and the short ISO 21287 body fits stations where a full-length profile cylinder will not.
A 50 mm stroke pushes off-spec bottles clear of the lane; the non-rotating plate stays aligned cycle after cycle, with the fitted -S magnet feeding CMSE switches to confirm each reject.
At 32 mm this sits mid-range: the 25 mm bore gives 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa for lighter clamping, while the 40 mm bore reaches 628.3 N when the job needs more grip. The 50 mm stroke is well inside the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a catalogue item. The piston drifts if air is lost - it is not a lock - so add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay put. FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC mountings are available, and the fitted -S magnet lets CMSE / DMSE switches report end positions.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.1 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 563 N and pull to 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. For sizing, plan on about 241 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which corresponds to roughly a 20 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body, threaded aluminium covers and a hard-chrome-plated S45C rod, saving about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. Fixed TPU bumpers at each end absorb end-of-stroke energy. Mounting options are FB, CA, CB, CR and FTC. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped into the body slots for end-of-stroke signals.
