Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE50X40
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE50X40 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 40mm 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 TACE50X40
Built around a 50 mm bore and a 40 mm stroke, the AirTAC TACE50X40 is a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder to ISO 21287: air extends and retracts the 16 mm hard-chrome-plated S45C rod, while 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. The hard-anodized aluminium body is roller-burnished for wear resistance, and the short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs, guards and gantries.
For real-world sizing, treat roughly 589 N (about 60 kg of force) as the usable push at 0.5 MPa instead of the full rating; in vertical terms the bore can lift about 100 kg, or plan on about 50 kg with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. The rod end carries a female M10x1.5 thread, the air port is 1/8" (PT), and the optional -S magnet lets CMSE or DMSE switches report position; without the -S code no magnet is fitted. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, -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.
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 TACE50X40 Is Used
Machining-cell part clamping
The 981.7 N push at 0.5 MPa clamps aluminium gearbox housings in a CNC fixture, and the twin-guide yoke keeps the clamp plate square to the datum so the part cannot skew under load.
Palletizer pick head
On a bag or carton palletizer, the 40 mm stroke lifts about 50 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin, while the guide rods stop the suction plate rotating as the head swings between conveyor and pallet.
Conveyor stopper gate
A short-body stopper that indexes plastic totes on a 400 mm belt line: the compact body fits under the side frame where a full-length profile cylinder would not, and the TPU bumper quiets each extend.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE50X40 the Right Cylinder?
Check the load both ways before committing. If 981.7 N of push at 0.5 MPa is more than the job needs, the bore 40 TACE delivers 628.3 N at the same pressure; if your fixture needs more, step up to bore 63 for 1558.6 N. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost, so a held or clamped load calls for a rod lock or a pilot check valve in the line. Match the frame with FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR or FTC mounting, and order the -S code if position sensing with CMSE / DMSE switches is planned; strokes beyond the standard range for this bore are made to order.
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 TACE50X40 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 at 1.0 MPa is 200.2 kgf. A practical rule for sizing is about 589 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which corresponds to lifting roughly 50 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod, about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. A fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke energy. Mounting options are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC. Position sensing needs the optional -S magnet code, which enables CMSE or DMSE switches; without -S there is no magnet in the piston.
