The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE32X80S is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 80mm 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 TACE32X80S is a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 32 mm bore with an 80 mm stroke on a hard-anodized aluminium body that saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs, guards and gantries. Twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, keeping a gripper or plate 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 push and 483.8 N pull, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The S code means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted anywhere along the body slots. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. In practice plan on roughly 241 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa (about 0.6 of the rated force), which is enough to lift about 20 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Run it on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), with a speed range of 30-500 mm/s and a rod of 12 mm hard-chrome-plated S45C steel.

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.
Clamping machined aluminium housings in a turning cell: the 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa holds the part against the stop, and the twin-guide yoke keeps the clamp pad square to the fixture so the part cannot skew under load.
Sweeping a rejected carton sideways off a conveyor lane: the 80 mm stroke clears the lane in one pass, speeds up to 500 mm/s keep the line rate, and the guide rods stop the pusher plate twisting against the product.
Raising a pallet of populated PCB trays between bench levels: about 20 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin covers the load, and the fitted magnet with a CMSE switch confirms the up position before the robot picks.
Compare this 32 mm bore with its neighbours before ordering: the 25 mm version delivers 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to 40 mm buys 628.3 N, so choose 32 mm when your clamp or lift sits between those loads. The 80 mm stroke sits inside the standard range for this bore, so no made-to-order stroke is needed. Note that the rod drifts if air is lost - it never holds or brakes a load - so add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a position must be kept. FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC mountings all suit this model, and because the magnet is fitted, CMSE / DMSE switches work without further options.
Quick checklist
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 sizing, plan on about 241 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which corresponds to lifting roughly 20 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.
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. Mounting choices are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC. This S-version carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be fitted along the body slots. The air port is 1/8" with PT thread.
