The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE40X90S 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.
Built as a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder, the AirTAC TACE40X90S pairs a 40 mm bore with a 90 mm stroke in an ISO 21287 body. Twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a gripper or 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. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is what lets it fit tight jigs, guards and gantries.
For real-world sizing, plan on roughly 377 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa (about 0.6 of the push rating), and expect the rod to lift about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body runs an S45C hard-chrome plated rod, a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE or DMSE switches for position feedback. The rod end carries a female M8x1.25 thread and air ports are 1/8" PT. Speed spans 30-500 mm/s across 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).

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.

| 0.5 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.

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.
A 90 mm stroke reaches across a pallet of steel brackets; 628.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa seats each part into its nest while the twin-guide yoke keeps the gripper facing square.
About 377 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa stakes small bushings into pump housings, and the compact body slots into a press frame where a full-length cylinder will not fit.
The rod lifts about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin - filled cartons or a small fixture plate - and the fitted -S magnet feeds CMSE switch signals back to the PLC.
If 628.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa is more than the job needs, the bore 32 TACE delivers 402.1 N; if the load is heavier, step up to bore 50 for 981.7 N. Keep in mind the piston drifts when air is lost, so for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check valve downstream. FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC mountings all suit this bore, and because this model already carries the -S magnet, CMSE or DMSE switches can be clipped straight into the body slots without reordering.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 628.3 N and pulls 571.8 N. At 0.7 MPa push rises to 879.6 N and pull to 800.5 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 128.1 kgf. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof limit, on air filtered to 40 um.
The ISO 21287 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 energy. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots. Note the piston drifts if air is lost - fit a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay held.
