Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE50X15S
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE50X15S is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 15mm 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 TACE50X15S
The TACE50X15S is a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, with a 50 mm bore delivering 981.7 N of push (881.2 N pull) at 0.5 MPa over a short 15 mm stroke. 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 frame - a real advantage when the 16 mm rod drives off-centre tooling.
Because only about 589 N of that 981.7 N push should be counted as usable work at 0.5 MPa, this bore comfortably lifts about 50 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and gantries. As an -S model it carries the optional magnet, letting CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches report end-of-stroke position, and fixed TPU bumpers absorb the piston's arrival at both ends.

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 (Ø50mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 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.

Where the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE50X15S Is Used
CNC fixture clamping
A 15 mm clamp stroke with 981.7 N of push at 0.5 MPa secures aluminium housings in a machining fixture, while the twin-guide yoke keeps the clamp pad square to the part under side load.
Press-fit ejection
Short-travel ejection of bushings from an electronics assembly die: the 50 mm bore delivers about 589 N of practical working force at 0.5 MPa, and the compact body fits inside the die shoe where a full-length profile cylinder will not.
Small-part vertical lift
Lifting roughly 50 kg palletized cartons a few millimetres onto a checkweigher conveyor, with CMSE switches (usable because this is the -S magnet version) confirming the lowered and raised positions.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE50X15S the Right Cylinder?
At 15 mm stroke this is a short-throw actuator: choose it when the move is under about 20 mm and the 50 mm bore's 981.7 N push at 0.5 MPa is needed. A 32 mm bore gives 402.1 N at the same pressure if the load is lighter; step up to 63 mm (1558.6 N) when you need more margin. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - it does not hold position - so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a suspended load. Mounting options are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC; the rod end is a female M10x1.5 thread and the ports are 1/8" PT. The -S magnet on this model pairs with 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 TACE50X15S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the 50 mm bore pushes 981.7 N and pulls 881.2 N; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 1374.4 N push and 1233.7 N pull. The theoretical maximum is 200.2 kgf at 1.0 MPa. For sizing, treat about 589 N as usable work at 0.5 MPa, which corresponds to lifting about 50 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder: the hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated 16 mm rod saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke energy at both ends. This -S version includes the optional magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed / solid-state switches can be fitted directly in the body slots for position feedback. Mounting choices include FB flange and CA/CB clevis; the rod end is female M10x1.5 and the air port is 1/8" PT.
