Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE40X30S
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE40X30S is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 30mm 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 TACE40X30S
Built to ISO 21287 as a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder, the TACE40X30S pairs a 40 mm bore with a 30 mm stroke in a hard-anodized aluminium body that saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. 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 - a real edge over a plain compact cylinder.
At 0.5 MPa the bore pushes 628.3 N and pulls 571.8 N; plan for roughly 377 N of real work, which lifts about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The 12 mm S45C rod carries a female M8x1.25 thread, the port is 1/8" PT, and the -S code means the magnet is fitted on this model, so CMSE or DMSE switches can be clipped into the body slots. Speed spans 30-500 mm/s at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), with a fixed TPU bumper at each end.

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 TACE40X30S Is Used
Terminal staking on connector assemblies
A 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa is enough to stake small terminals and crimps on connector housings, and the twin-guide yoke keeps the punch square to the part without extra tooling guides.
Flap tucking on a cartoning machine
The 30 mm stroke suits tucking carton flaps on a packaging line; the non-rotating twin guides hold the tuck plate aligned even with side load from misaligned boxes.
Position check on a vision-inspection gate
Because the -S magnet is fitted on this model, CMSE or DMSE switches mounted in the body slots confirm extend and retract before the camera triggers.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE40X30S the Right Cylinder?
For this 40 mm bore the 0.5 MPa push is 628.3 N; if your load needs less, the 25 mm bore delivers 245.4 N at the same pressure, while the 50 mm bore reaches 981.7 N when you need more muscle. Keep in mind the rod drifts when air is lost - for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. This model ships with the -S magnet fitted and a female M8x1.25 rod thread; choose FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR or FTC mounting, and PT or G ports.
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 TACE40X30S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 628.3 N and pulls 571.8 N; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 879.6 N and pull to 800.5 N, with a theoretical maximum of 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Plan on about 377 N of usable push, which lifts roughly 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The piston does not lock when air is lost - use a rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a load.
The ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits tight gantries and guarded stations. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. Mounting choices are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC, ports are 1/8" PT (G on request), and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE or DMSE switches.
