Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE40X50
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE40X50 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 50mm 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 TACE40X50
The TACE40X50 is a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 40 mm bore with a 50 mm stroke, twin guide rods on a yoke that stop tooling rotation and carry side load, and a hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated 12 mm rod. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 628.3 N and pulls 571.8 N; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 879.6 N. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs, guards and gantries where a full-length cylinder will not fit.
For sizing, plan on roughly 377 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa (about 60% of the push rating), which lifts about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Run it on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), -20 to +70 C, speed 30-500 mm/s. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, ports are 1/8", and the rod end carries a female M8x1.25 thread. No magnet is fitted on this version; order the -S code to enable CMSE / DMSE switches. It does not hold position when air is lost - use a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load.

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 TACE40X50 Is Used
CNC fixture clamping
The 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa clamps steel brackets in a machining fixture, while the twin-guide yoke keeps the clamp plate square to the part without an external guide.
Carton push-off on packaging lines
A 50 mm stroke sweeps cartons off a conveyor lane at 30-500 mm/s, and the compact body fits under low guard rails where a longer cylinder cannot.
Die insert lifting in a stamping cell
With about 32 kg of vertical lift at a 2:1 margin, the cylinder raises die inserts between presses; the female M8x1.25 rod thread takes a standard lifting tooling plate.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE40X50 the Right Cylinder?
Need less force? The bore 32 TACE gives 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa; need more? Step up to bore 50 for 981.7 N at the same pressure. If the load must stay put with the air off, add a rod lock or pilot check valve, because the piston drifts when pressure drops. Match the machine with FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR or FTC mounting, and add the optional -S magnet only if CMSE / DMSE switch sensing is 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 TACE40X50 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 800.5 N. The theoretical maximum is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Working pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder, about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a hard-anodized aluminium body, a 12 mm hard-chrome rod, fixed TPU bumpers at both ends and 1/8" ports. Mounting choices are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC. The magnet is the optional -S code; only with -S can CMSE / DMSE switches be mounted, and this version has no magnet fitted.
