The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE32X90S 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.
Double acting and non-rotating, the AirTAC TACE32X90S puts a 32 mm bore and a 90 mm stroke into an ISO 21287 compact body that saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and guarded cells where a full-length body will not fit. 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, a solid mid-range force for clamping and small-part handling.
For real-world sizing, plan on roughly 241 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating, and expect about 20 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin (about 41 kg at full push). The -S code on this model means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount straight onto the body slots for end-of-stroke sensing. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, the rod ends in a female M8x1.25 thread, the port is 1/8" PT, and the unit 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.

| 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 clamps aluminum brackets in a milling jig, and the twin-guide yoke keeps the clamp plate square to the part so it cannot twist under side load.
On an electronics assembly cell, the non-rotating twin rods carry a gripper that lifts about 20 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin, while the fitted -S magnet drives CMSE switches for stroke confirmation.
With a 90 mm stroke and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, the cylinder ejects small cartons from a conveyor lane inside a tight guard, thanks to a body about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
Compare forces before committing: a 25 mm bore gives 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to 40 mm raises it to 628.3 N. Choose the TACE32X90S when your load sits between those bands and the 90 mm stroke matches the travel. Note that the piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for any held load. Mounting options are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC, and since the -S magnet is already fitted on this model you can add CMSE / DMSE position switches without reordering.
Quick checklist
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. It is a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder: 32 mm bore, 90 mm stroke, 12 mm rod with a female M8x1.25 thread, 1/8" PT port, speed 30-500 mm/s, operating pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), temperature -20 to +70 C, air filtered to 40 um.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so the cylinder fits shallow channels, gantries and guarded machines. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and mounting choices include FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC. Because this model carries the optional -S magnet, CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped onto the body slots for position feedback; models ordered without -S have no magnet.
