Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE40X45S
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE40X45S is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 45mm 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 TACE40X45S
The TACE40X45S is a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 40 mm bore with a 45 mm stroke, a 12 mm S45C rod with hard-chrome plating, and a 1/8" PT port. Twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a gripper or clamp 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 those figures rise to 879.6 N and 800.5 N, with a theoretical maximum of 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
For real work, plan on about 377 N at 0.5 MPa (roughly 0.6 of the push figure), which in vertical terms lifts about 32 kg with a 2:1 margin, or about 64 kg at the full push force. The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits tight jigs, guards and gantries. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed / solid-state switches can be mounted for end-of-stroke sensing, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-500 mm/s, with air filtered to 40 um.

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 TACE40X45S Is Used
CNC fixture clamping
Clamping machined aluminium brackets on a machining centre: the 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa holds the part firmly, and the twin-guide yoke keeps the clamp pad square to the fixture without a separate guide.
Pick and place of die-cast covers
Transferring small die-cast gearbox covers between pallets: the 45 mm stroke suits shallow trays, the non-rotating rods keep the gripper aligned, and the fitted -S magnet drives CMSE switches for stroke confirmation.
Bench press ejection
Ejecting moulded nylon bushings from a small bench die: at 0.7 MPa the 879.6 N push clears the cavity quickly, and the fixed TPU bumper quiets the return at each end of stroke.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE40X45S the Right Cylinder?
For a 45 mm stroke in this force class, drop to a 32 mm bore (402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa) if your load is lighter, or step up to a 50 mm bore (981.7 N push at 0.5 MPa) for heavier tooling. The piston drifts when air is lost, so for a load that must stay put add a rod lock or a pilot check valve. Mounting options are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC, the rod end is female M8x1.25, and because this version carries the -S magnet, CMSE / DMSE switches can be fitted straight away.
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 TACE40X45S FAQ
Push is 628.3 N and pull 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa push is 879.6 N and pull 800.5 N, with a theoretical maximum of 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The bore is 40 mm, stroke 45 mm, rod 12 mm with a female M8x1.25 thread, and the port is 1/8" PT. It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), temperature -20 to +70 C, speed 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight jigs and guarded cells. A fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke energy; it never locks or holds a load when air is lost. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted in the body slots; without the S code there is no magnet.
