Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE50X55
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE50X55 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 55mm 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 TACE50X55
A double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the TACE50X55 pairs a 50 mm bore and 55 mm stroke with a 16 mm hard-chrome rod. At 0.5 MPa (72.5 psi) it pushes 981.7 N and pulls 881.2 N, rising to 1374.4 N push at 0.7 MPa (101.5 psi). Twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a gripper or press plate stays square without an external guide. In practice, size for about 589 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa (72.5 psi), and expect roughly 100 kg of vertical force, or 50 kg with a 2:1 margin.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits tight jigs, guards and gantries. A hard-anodized aluminium body with a roller-burnished bore carries an S45C hard-chrome rod, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. This version ships without a magnet; add the optional -S code to enable CMSE or DMSE switches. Air: 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, 1/8" PT port, female rod thread M10x1.5.

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 TACE50X55 Is Used
Small press staking of aluminium brackets
The 981.7 N push at 0.5 MPa (72.5 psi) stakes terminals and rivets on 55 mm-short fixture strokes inside compact machine frames.
Clamp fixture on a carton sealing line
Twin guide rods hold the clamp jaw square while the 50 mm bore grips cartons at cycle speeds from 30 to 500 mm/s.
Gate and deflector actuation on a bottling conveyor
The short ISO 21287 body drops into tight conveyor framing, and the 881.2 N pull retracts a reject gate without side wobble.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE50X55 the Right Cylinder?
If 981.7 N at 0.5 MPa (72.5 psi) is more than the job needs, a TACE32X55 delivers 402.1 N on the same stroke; when the load is heavier, a TACE63X55 reaches 1558.6 N. Remember the piston drifts as soon as air is lost - it never holds position - so fit a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay put. Mount on an FB flange, CA or CB clevis, CR or FTC feet, and order the optional -S magnet if CMSE/DMSE switching is planned.
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 TACE50X55 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa (72.5 psi) the TACE50X55 pushes 981.7 N and pulls 881.2 N; at 0.7 MPa (101.5 psi) it pushes 1374.4 N and pulls 1233.7 N. The theoretical maximum is 200.2 kgf at 1.0 MPa (145 psi). Stroke is 55 mm on a 50 mm bore with a 16 mm rod and 1/8" PT ports.
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. Mount via FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR or FTC. This model has no magnet; order the optional -S code to run CMSE or DMSE switches. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, -20 to +70 C.
