Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE50X40S
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE50X40S 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 TACE50X40S
Double acting and non-rotating, the TACE50X40S pairs a 50 mm bore with a 40 mm stroke inside an ISO 21287 compact body. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 981.7 N and pulls 881.2 N, rising to 1374.4 N on the extend stroke at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical ceiling of 200.2 kgf at 1.0 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 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is what lets it drop into tight jigs, guards and gantries.
For real work, plan on roughly 589 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa (about 0.6 of the rating); in lift terms that is around 100 kg theoretical, or about 50 kg vertically once a 2:1 margin is applied. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a 16 mm S45C hard-chrome rod with a female M10x1.5 thread, fed through 1/8" PT ports. A fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke energy at both ends, and because this model carries the optional -S magnet, CMSE / DMSE switches can be mounted for position feedback. It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, from -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 TACE50X40S Is Used
Clamping welded brackets
A fixture clamp on a robotic welding cell, where the twin-guide yoke keeps the clamp pad square to the bracket under 981.7 N of push and the 40 mm stroke clears part loading.
Reject gate on a carton line
Kicking off-spec cartons at up to 500 mm/s, with the short ISO 21287 body fitting the narrow space beside the conveyor where a full-length profile cylinder will not.
Lifting die inserts in a press shop
Raising inserts of about 50 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin, guided by the twin rods so the insert does not rotate or rack in its pocket.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE50X40S the Right Cylinder?
At 981.7 N push (0.5 MPa) this 50 mm bore sits between the 40 mm TACE40 at 628.3 N and the 63 mm TACE63 at 1558.6 N: step down when the load stays under about 600 N, step up once pull demand passes roughly 880 N. The 40 mm stroke is a standard length for bore 50, so no made-to-order build is needed. The piston drifts when air is lost, so for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC mountings all fit, and the -S magnet on this model 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 TACE50X40S FAQ
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 is 200.2 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The rod is 16 mm with a female M10x1.5 thread, and the air port is 1/8" PT. For sizing, treat roughly 589 N at 0.5 MPa as the usable working force, about 50 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.
It is an ISO 21287 compact build whose short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end that decelerates the piston at the ends of travel. Mounting choices are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE reed or DMSE solid-state switches clamp into the body slots to signal extend and retract positions.
