The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE40X35 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 35mm 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 TACE40X35 is a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 40 mm bore with a 12 mm hard-chrome-plated S45C rod, a hard-anodized aluminium body, and twin guide rods on a yoke that stop the tooling rotating and carry side load. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 628.3 N and pulls 571.8 N; at 0.7 MPa those figures rise to 879.6 N and 800.5 N, with a theoretical peak of 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Supply air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, and a fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke shock.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so a 35 mm stroke drops into tight jigs, guards and gantry pockets a full-length cylinder cannot reach. For day-to-day sizing, plan on roughly 377 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The rod ends in a female M8x1.25 thread, the air port is 1/8" PT, and the optional -S magnet code enables CMSE / DMSE switches - without that code no sensor can be mounted.

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 | 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.

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.
Pressing small bearings and bushings into pump or gearbox housings on a light assembly press. The 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa suits typical press fits, and the 35 mm stroke matches short part-to-part travel in a compact cell.
Kicking rejected cartons or trays sideways off a packaging conveyor lane. Twin guide rods keep the pusher plate square against the load, and the short body mounts between guard rails where a profile cylinder will not fit.
Clamping aluminium brackets on a machining fixture. The non-rotating yoke holds the clamp pad flat without an external guide, and roughly 377 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa is ample for light machining clamps.
This 40 mm bore sits between the 25 mm (245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa) and the 50 mm (981.7 N push at 0.5 MPa), so pick it when a light-duty bore stalls but a 50 mm wastes space and air. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost - it never locks or holds a load - so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the workpiece must stay put. Stroke 35 mm is well inside the 200 mm standard range for this bore; mounting choices are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC, and order the -S code only if CMSE / DMSE switching is needed.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 628.3 N and pulls 571.8 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 879.6 N and pulls 800.5 N. The theoretical maximum is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and speed runs 30-500 mm/s. For real work, size on about 377 N of push at 0.5 MPa, enough to lift about 32 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 shock. Mounting options are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC, with a female M8x1.25 rod thread and a 1/8" PT port. Sensors work only with the optional -S magnet code, which allows CMSE / DMSE switches; without -S the cylinder has no magnet, so no sensor can be fitted.
