Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE50X30S
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE50X30S is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 30mm 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 TACE50X30S
A double acting, non-rotating actuator built on the ISO 21287 compact platform, the TACE50X30S uses a 50 mm bore and 30 mm stroke to deliver 981.7 N of push force and 881.2 N of pull at 0.5 MPa. 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. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a 16 mm S45C hard-chrome-plated rod with a female M10x1.5 thread, and air connects through a 1/8" PT port.
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 actuator will not fit. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. Because this model carries the optional -S magnet, CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted directly in the body slots. For sizing, plan on about 589 N of real work at 0.5 MPa (roughly 0.6 of the push figure), and expect it to lift about 50 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin - the raw 981.7 N equates to roughly 100 kg.

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 TACE50X30S Is Used
CNC fixture indexing
A 30 mm stroke indexes machined housings between drilling stations; the twin-guide yoke keeps the fixture plate square to the spindle without a separate guide frame.
Carton push-off arm
On a secondary packing line, 981.7 N of push at 0.5 MPa ejects filled cartons onto a takeaway belt, while the TPU bumper quiets each end of the short 30 mm travel.
Conveyor stopper gate
A gate that rises to stop totes on a roller conveyor; with the -S magnet fitted, CMSE / DMSE switches confirm gate-up and gate-down to the PLC.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE50X30S the Right Cylinder?
At 30 mm stroke this sits well inside the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for the 50 mm bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. If 981.7 N of push at 0.5 MPa is more than the job needs, the 40 mm bore delivers 628.3 N; if the load grows, step up to the 63 mm bore at 1558.6 N. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - it holds nothing on its own, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay put. Mounting choices are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC, and the fitted -S magnet lets CMSE / DMSE switches report end positions.
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 TACE50X30S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the 50 mm bore pushes 981.7 N and pulls 881.2 N; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 1374.4 N and pull to 1233.7 N; the theoretical maximum is 200.2 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Working pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and the speed range is 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at both ends. This TACE50X30S carries the -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches clip into the body slots. Mount it with an FB flange, CA or CB clevis, CR or FTC; the rod ends in a female M10x1.5 thread and air enters through a 1/8" PT port.
