Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE40X5S
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE40X5S is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 5mm 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 TACE40X5S
The AirTAC TACE40X5S is a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder to ISO 21287 with a 40 mm bore and a very short 5 mm stroke. Twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a gripper or plate stays square without any external guide. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 628.3 N and pulls 571.8 N; at 0.7 MPa those rise to 879.6 N and 800.5 N, with a theoretical maximum of 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it drops into tight fixtures and guarded cells where a full-length bore simply will not fit. As an -S model it carries the optional magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted for end-of-stroke signalling. For sizing, plan on roughly 377 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa (about 60% of the rating), which lifts about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.

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 TACE40X5S Is Used
CNC fixture clamp
The 5 mm stroke clamps a machined aluminium blank against a hard stop on a milling pallet; 628.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa holds it through light cutting, and the twin-guide yoke keeps the clamp pad square to the part.
Carton reject pusher
Mounted across a packaging conveyor, the short body fits under the guard rail and the 5 mm stroke kicks misaligned cartons off the line; with the -S magnet a DMSE switch confirms the return position each cycle.
Connector crimp check press
In an electronics lab, the 40 mm bore presses a crimped terminal into a test jig over just 5 mm; about 377 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa is enough for go/no-go verification without damaging the housing.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE40X5S the Right Cylinder?
At 40 mm bore this sits mid-range: the 32 mm bore gives 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa if your load is lighter, while the 50 mm bore delivers 981.7 N when you need more clamping force in the same compact envelope. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost, so for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. The 5 mm stroke is a standard stroke for this bore (standard strokes run to 200 mm). Port is 1/8" PT, the rod end is a female M8x1.25 thread, and mounting choices are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR or FTC. If you need position signals, this -S version already has the magnet fitted for CMSE / DMSE switches.
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 TACE40X5S FAQ
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 push and 800.5 N pull, and the theoretical maximum is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and speed runs 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end that only decelerates the stroke ends. Mounting options are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC; the port is 1/8" PT and the rod end is female M8x1.25. Because this is the -S version, the magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted in the body slots; note it does not lock or hold a load when air is lost.
