Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE32X55
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE32X55 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 55mm 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 TACE32X55
The AirTAC TACE32X55 is a double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact cylinder: a 32 mm bore driving a 12 mm rod over a 55 mm stroke, with twin guide rods on a yoke that stop the tooling rotating and carry side load. 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 peak of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome plated rod run on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits tight jigs and guards. Plan on roughly 241 N of usable push (about 60% of the 402.1 N rating), enough to lift about 20 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The -S code adds the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches; this base model has no magnet fitted.

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 TACE32X55 Is Used
CNC pallet clamping
Clamps aluminium pump housings on a machining-centre pallet; the twin-guide yoke keeps the clamp plate square under 402.1 N of push without an external guide.
Bearing press-fit station
Presses small bearings into gearbox covers on a 55 mm stroke; the roughly 241 N usable force at 0.5 MPa suits light interference fits.
Electronics pick and place
Lifts populated aluminium chassis trays of about 20 kg vertically between conveyor stops, with the short body fitting under a low guard.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE32X55 the Right Cylinder?
Sizing check: the smaller bore 25 TACE gives 245.4 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to bore 40 raises push to 628.3 N - so the 32 mm bore at 402.1 N sits mid-range for clamping and lifting jobs. The 55 mm stroke is a standard length for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. Note the piston drifts if air is lost; for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. Mounting options are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC, ports are PT, and the female M8x1.25 rod thread accepts standard tooling plates. Order the -S code if CMSE / DMSE sensing is planned.
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 TACE32X55 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.1 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa push is 563 N and pull 483.8 N. Theoretical maximum is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and speed range 30-500 mm/s.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end to absorb end-of-stroke energy. Mounting choices are FB, CA, CB, CR and FTC. Sensing requires the optional -S magnet code, which enables CMSE / DMSE switches; without -S there is no magnet.
