The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE50X10 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 10mm 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.
Double acting and non-rotating, the TACE50X10 packs a 50 mm bore into a 10 mm stroke on a 16 mm hard-chrome S45C rod, with a 1/8" PT port. 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 981.7 N and pulls 881.2 N, running on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air at 30-500 mm/s.
Its 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. In practice, plan for about 589 N of real work at 0.5 MPa - roughly 60% of the push rating - which lifts about 100 kg vertically, or about 50 kg with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke shock at both ends, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches.

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 | 982 N | 881 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1374 N | 1234 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 200 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.
The 10 mm stroke clamps die-cast gearbox covers on a machining fixture; 981.7 N push at 0.5 MPa holds the part, and the twin-guide yoke keeps the clamp pad square to the datum.
A bottling line uses the short stroke to kick off-spec bottles at a stop gate; the compact body fits the transfer deck where an ISO 15552 profile cylinder is simply too long.
Lifts about 50 kg of jig pin and bracket vertically with a 2:1 margin in an automotive cell; the twin guide rods stop the pin rotating as it rises and lower it back square.
For this force class, bore 40 delivers 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa and bore 63 reaches 1558.6 N, so the 50 mm bore sits between them for medium clamping and short lifting jobs. The rod drifts when air is lost - it never holds position - so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a suspended load. Mount with FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR or FTC; the female rod thread is M10x1.5. Order the -S code only if you need CMSE / DMSE sensing, since the magnet is optional, not fitted as standard.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 981.7 N and pulls 881.2 N; at 0.7 MPa, push is 1374.4 N and pull 1233.7 N. The theoretical maximum is 200.2 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), from -20 to +70 C, at 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 short body is hard-anodized aluminium with a roller-burnished bore and threaded aluminium front and back covers, saving about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. A fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke shock at both ends. Mounting options are FB, CA, CB, CR and FTC. Sensing needs the optional -S magnet - without that code no CMSE or DMSE switch can be mounted.
