Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE32X55S
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE32X55S 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 TACE32X55S
Built as a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder, the TACE32X55S pairs a 32 mm bore and 55 mm stroke with a 12 mm hard-chrome-plated S45C rod on a female M8x1.25 thread, fed from a 1/8" port. 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. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.1 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 563 N push and 483.8 N pull, with a theoretical 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and guarding where a full-length cylinder will not. For real work, plan on roughly 241 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa (about 0.6 of the rating); vertically that equates to about 41 kg, or about 20 kg with a 2:1 margin. This -S model carries the optional magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches clip into the body slots. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at both ends.

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 TACE32X55S Is Used
PCB carrier transfer
A 55 mm stroke lifts PCB carrier pallets of about 20 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin, while the twin-guide yoke keeps the vacuum plate from twisting over the line.
Carton flap tucking
On a box sealer, the 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa folds flaps and presses glue joints, and the short body fits under the guard where a full-length cylinder will not.
Fixture clamp with position check
CMSE / DMSE switches on the -S magnet confirm clamp-open and clamp-done on a machining fixture, with the guide rods holding the clamp pad square under side load.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE32X55S the Right Cylinder?
If 402.1 N at 0.5 MPa is more than the job needs, the 25 mm bore delivers 245.4 N; if the load grows, step up to the 40 mm bore for 628.3 N. When air is lost the piston drifts - it does not hold position - so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a suspended load. FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC mountings bolt straight on, and because this is the -S version the CMSE / DMSE switches fit the body slots without reordering.
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 TACE32X55S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.1 N and pulls 345.6 N. At 0.7 MPa the figures are 563 N push and 483.8 N pull. The theoretical maximum is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. For real work, plan on about 241 N (roughly 0.6 of the push rating), which lifts about 20 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.
The ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. FB, CA, CB, CR and FTC mountings are available. Because this is the -S model the magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE switches mount in the body slots. Air pressure runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-500 mm/s.
