Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE40X10
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE40X10 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 10mm 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.

About the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE40X10
The TACE40X10 is a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 40 mm bore with a 12 mm hard-chrome S45C rod, a hard-anodized aluminium body and a 1/8" PT port. Twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a gripper or press plate stays square without an external guide. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 628.3 N and pulls 571.8 N; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 879.6 N push and 800.5 N pull, with a theoretical 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Plan for roughly 377 N of real work at 0.5 MPa (about 0.6 of the push force), which lifts about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs, guards and gantries. A fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke energy at both ends, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches - without -S no magnet is fitted.

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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø40mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 628 N | 572 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | 800 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 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.

Where the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE40X10 Is Used
Benchtop press-fit station
A 10 mm stroke is ideal for pressing dowel pins or bearings into housings on an electronics assembly bench; the 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa covers light press work and the twin-guide yoke keeps the punch square to the part.
CNC fixture clamping
Clamp a machined aluminium bracket against a CNC fixture stop: the non-rotating twin guide rods hold the clamp pad flat under side load, and the short ISO 21287 body fits where a full-length profile cylinder will not.
Short-throw packaging ejector
Kick a carton or blister off a conveyor lane with a 10 mm kick at speeds up to 500 mm/s; the 40 mm bore gives enough punch for a full carton while the compact body mounts between guard rails.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE40X10 the Right Cylinder?
Size both ways before you commit: the smaller TACE32 bore pushes 402.1 N at 0.5 MPa, while the larger TACE50 reaches 981.7 N, so the 40 mm bore at 628.3 N sits in the middle for medium clamping and pressing jobs. The 10 mm stroke is well inside the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a catalogue item. If the load must stay put when air is lost, note that the piston drifts - add a rod lock or pilot check valve. Mounting options are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC, and the optional -S magnet should be ordered at the same time if CMSE / DMSE position switches are planned.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Short stroke fits the compact body
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Add -S if you need the magnet for sensors
- ✓ Rod type (female / male B) & mount (FA/LB/CA)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Compact body: keep the stroke short and avoid side load on the rod.
- check Do not dismantle the threaded front/back covers.
- check Keep speed within the rated range; the TPU bumper absorbs stroke-end energy.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE40X10 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 628.3 N and pulls 571.8 N; at 0.7 MPa push is 879.6 N and pull is 800.5 N. The theoretical maximum is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed range is 30-500 mm/s, and the working medium is air filtered to 40 um.
Air supply is via 1/8" PT ports and the rod ends in a female M8x1.25 thread; there is no rod-thread code on the twin-guide yoke. Mounting choices are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC. The magnet is the optional -S code - order TACE40X10S and CMSE / DMSE switches can be mounted on the body slots; without -S no magnet is fitted. The 10 mm stroke is standard, and bore 40 runs to 200 mm as a standard stroke.
