The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE32X5S is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 5mm 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.
Built as a double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact cylinder, the TACE32X5S pairs a 32 mm bore with a very short 5 mm stroke in a hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated 12 mm rod. 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 those figures rise to 563 N and 483.8 N. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is exactly what tight jigs and guarded cells need.
Plan on roughly 241 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa (about 0.6 of the rated force), which corresponds to lifting about 41 kg vertically on paper, or around 20 kg with a 2:1 margin. Because this model carries the -S code, the magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clamped into the body slots to report the 5 mm end positions. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, the port is 1/8" PT, the rod end carries a female M8x1.25 thread, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s at 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.

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.
A 5 mm probe stroke confirms a machined housing is fully seated in its CNC fixture before cutting starts; the fitted -S magnet drives a CMSE switch straight to the PLC.
With 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, the cylinder kicks a finished automotive connector clear of its assembly nest in one short hit - the twin-guide yoke keeps the push face from twisting.
A 5 mm locking pin engages a rotary indexing plate on a bottling line; misalignment side load is taken by the guide rods, not the 12 mm piston rod.
For a 5 mm confirm-or-nudge move, the TACE25X5S gives 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa if your load is lighter, while the TACE40X5S reaches 628.3 N when you want more reserve on the same short stroke. The piston drifts if air is lost - it is not a lock - so add a rod lock or pilot check valve wherever a load must stay held. FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC mountings all suit this compact body, and the fitted -S magnet lets CMSE / DMSE switches flag both ends of the 5 mm travel.
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 with pull at 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 32 mm bore takes a 1/8" PT port with a female M8x1.25 rod thread.
The ISO 21287 short 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 flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC mountings all fit. Since this model carries the -S code, the magnet is fitted and CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clamped in the body slots; models ordered without -S have no magnet.
