The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE32X60S is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 60mm 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.
The TACE32X60S is a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 32 mm bore with a 60 mm stroke, twin guide rods on a yoke that stop tooling rotation and carry side load, and a hard-anodized aluminium body with a hard-chrome plated S45C rod. 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 maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Its short 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 cylinder will not fit.
The -S code on this model means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clamped straight into the body slots for position sensing. Air filtered to 40 um is the only fluid, pressure runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof, speed spans 30-500 mm/s, and fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke energy at both ends. For sizing, keep real work near 241 N - roughly 24 kg of usable push at 0.5 MPa - and note the rod drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must be held.

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.

|---|---|---|
| 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.

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 the gripper square over 60 mm of travel with no external guide, and the usable push of about 24 kg at 0.5 MPa handles loaded test fixtures with margin.
402.1 N of push at 0.5 MPa seats carton flaps in one stroke, the fixed TPU bumper quiets the ends, and the short ISO 21287 body fits under a low guard.
Speeds of 30-500 mm/s let the gate keep pace with the line, and the fitted -S magnet accepts a CMSE or DMSE switch so the PLC confirms extend and retract every cycle.
Size down to a 25 mm bore only if 245.4 N of push at 0.5 MPa covers the job; step up to a 40 mm bore (628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa) when the 402.1 N of this 32 mm cylinder leaves too little margin for friction and side load. The 60 mm stroke sits well inside the 200 mm standard range for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. Mounting choices are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC, and because the magnet is already fitted you can add CMSE or DMSE switches for end-of-stroke sensing without reordering. If the load must stay put when air drops, plan a rod lock or pilot check valve - the cylinder itself will drift.
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. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof, so for real work plan on roughly 241 N - about 24 kg - rather than the full rating.
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 that decelerates the piston only at the ends of travel. Because this model carries the -S magnet, CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots. The port is 1/8" PT and the rod end carries a female M8x1.25 thread; outline dimensions should be confirmed from the datasheet.
