Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE50X5
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE50X5 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 5mm 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 TACE50X5
The AirTAC TACE50X5 is a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 50 mm bore drives a 16 mm hard-chrome-plated S45C rod over a 5 mm stroke, while twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 981.7 N and pulls 881.2 N; at 0.7 MPa those figures rise to 1374.4 N and 1233.7 N, with a theoretical peak of 200.2 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it drops into tight jigs and gantries where a full-length body will not fit, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. For sizing, plan on roughly 589 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa - about 60% of the rating - which lifts about 50 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Supply air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, 1/8" PT ports and an M10x1.5 female rod thread.

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 TACE50X5 Is Used
CNC fixture clamping
Clamps an aluminium housing against a CNC jig with 981.7 N at 0.5 MPa, while the twin-guide yoke keeps the clamp pad square to the part without an external guide.
Packaging line kicker
A 5 mm stroke is ideal for a short-throw divertor that nudges cartons off a conveyor, and the compact body fits inside the guard frame where a longer cylinder cannot.
Electronics staking press
Delivers controlled 1374.4 N push at 0.7 MPa for staking terminals onto PCB assemblies, with the TPU bumper softening the bottom of each 5 mm press stroke.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE50X5 the Right Cylinder?
If 981.7 N of push at 0.5 MPa exceeds the demand, the bore 40 TACE gives 628.3 N; step up to bore 63 for 1558.6 N. Note the rod drifts when air is lost - it never locks a load - so add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a position must be held. Mounting options are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC, and the optional -S magnet is what enables CMSE or DMSE switches; the base TACE50X5 carries no magnet, so no sensor can be mounted without it.
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 TACE50X5 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 981.7 N and pulls 881.2 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 1374.4 N and pulls 1233.7 N; the theoretical maximum is 200.2 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. Mounting choices include FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC. Position sensing requires the optional -S magnet code, which allows CMSE or DMSE switches; without -S there is no magnet and no sensor can be mounted.
