The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE32X90 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 90mm 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 TACE32X90 is a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 32 mm bore with a 90 mm stroke, a hard-anodized aluminium body and 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 push and 483.8 N pull, with a theoretical peak of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs, guards and gantries. Plan for roughly 241 N of real work at 0.5 MPa (about 60% of the push rating), which lifts about 20 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Air to both ports drives extend and retract between 30 and 500 mm/s, a fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke shock at each end, and the optional -S magnet adds CMSE / DMSE switch sensing. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), -20 to +70 C, with 1/8" PT ports.

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 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa presses small bearings into aluminium pump housings on an assembly line, while the twin-guide yoke keeps the arbor square to the bore.
A 90 mm stroke opens and closes a two-jaw gripper handling castings of about 20 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin; the twin guide rods stop the jaw plate rotating.
Clamps a steel fixture plate inside a tight milling guard, where the short ISO 21287 body fits into a jig that a full-length cylinder cannot reach.
For a 90 mm stroke at 0.5 MPa, the 32 mm bore pushes 402.1 N - enough for clamping and light pressing work. Step down to the 25 mm bore (245.4 N push) for lighter fixtures, or up to the 40 mm bore (628.3 N push) when the job needs more force. The rod drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve wherever a load must stay held. Mount with an FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR or FTC, and order the -S code if CMSE / DMSE switch sensing is planned.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.1 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa, 563 N push and 483.8 N pull. The theoretical maximum is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. For comparison, the smaller 25 mm bore reaches 245.4 N at 0.5 MPa and the larger 40 mm bore reaches 628.3 N, so you can size up or down within the same compact family.
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. Sensing requires the optional -S magnet, which enables CMSE / DMSE switches; without the -S code no magnet is fitted.
