The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE50X100 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 100mm 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 TACE50X100 packs a 50 mm bore and 100 mm stroke into a hard-anodized aluminium ISO 21287 compact body that saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. Twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a gripper or press plate stays square with no external guide. At 0.5 MPa the bore pushes 981.7 N and pulls 881.2 N through a 16 mm hard-chrome-plated S45C rod.
For sizing, count on roughly 589 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa - about 0.6 of the rating - which lifts about 50 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The rod ends in a female M10x1.5 thread, the air port is 1/8" PT, and a fixed TPU bumper absorbs the end-of-stroke impact at both ends. Supply air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and run 30-500 mm/s; proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), temperature range -20 to +70 C.

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.
Vertical transfer of aluminium gearbox housings on a drivetrain assembly line - with a 2:1 margin the 981.7 N push lifts about 50 kg, and the twin-guide yoke keeps the gripper from twisting over the 100 mm travel.
Pressing bushings into pump housings across the full 100 mm stroke; 1374.4 N is on tap at 0.7 MPa for firmer seats, with the guide rods taking any off-center reaction so the plate stays square.
Swing-free push of a divert gate on a bottling conveyor; the yoke-mounted guide rods carry the gate's side load, keeping the rod straight through 30-500 mm/s cycling.
At 100 mm stroke and a 981.7 N push, the 50 mm bore suits clamping and lifting jigs in the 60-90 kg class; step down to the 40 mm bore (628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa) for lighter tooling, or up to the 63 mm bore (1558.6 N) when the load grows. Air acts on both sides of the piston, so if supply drops the load drifts - add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a held position matters. Mount with FB, CA, CB, CR or FTC hardware, and order the optional -S magnet if CMSE or DMSE switches are planned.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 981.7 N and pulls 881.2 N; at 0.7 MPa, 1374.4 N push and 1233.7 N pull. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 200.2 kgf. Working pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof rating.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end and FB, CA, CB, CR or FTC mounting options. Sensing needs the optional -S magnet: order that code and CMSE or DMSE switches can be fitted; without -S no magnet is installed.
