Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE40X90
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE40X90 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 90mm 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 TACE40X90
The TACE40X90 is a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: air drives the 12 mm rod out and pulls it back, while twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load. At the 40 mm bore it pushes 628.3 N and pulls 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa, rising to 879.6 N push and 800.5 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical peak 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 slots into tight jigs, guards and gantries where a full-length cylinder will not fit. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, the hard-anodized aluminium body carries a hard-chrome S45C rod, and the 1/8" port with M8x1.25 female rod thread keeps plumbing simple. In practice, plan on roughly 377 N of real work at 0.5 MPa (about 0.6 of the push figure), which lifts about 64 kg vertically - or about 32 kg if you keep a 2:1 margin.

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 TACE40X90 Is Used
Connector press station
On an electronics assembly line, the twin-guide yoke presses PCB connectors home over a 90 mm approach; the non-rotating rods keep the press head square to the housing without an external guide, leaving about 377 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa.
Flap-closing gripper
A carton erector on a packaging line uses the yoke-mounted twin rods to close box flaps; side load from off-center flaps is carried by the guides, and the 571.8 N pull force retracts the gripper clear of the case.
Housing lift-and-transfer
In a machining cell, the cylinder raises aluminium pump housings of up to about 32 kg between fixtures - a 2:1 margin on the 64 kg vertical equivalent at 0.5 MPa - with the 90 mm stroke clearing the fixture lip.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE40X90 the Right Cylinder?
Size against neighbours: a 32 mm TACE pushes 402.1 N at 0.5 MPa, and stepping up to 50 mm gives 981.7 N, so the 40 mm bore at 628.3 N sits in the middle for medium clamping and transfer duty. The piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve wherever a load must stay held. Mount on an FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR or FTC, and order the optional -S magnet if CMSE / DMSE switch sensing is planned. Strokes to 200 mm are standard for this bore, so 90 mm is a stock length.
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 TACE40X90 FAQ
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 pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and speed 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um.
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 choices are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC. For position sensing, order the optional -S magnet code: with it, CMSE / DMSE switches fit the body slots - without -S there is no magnet and no switch can be mounted.
