Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE50X55S
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE50X55S 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 TACE50X55S
A double acting, non-rotating actuator built to ISO 21287 compact dimensions, the TACE50X55S pairs a 50 mm bore with a 55 mm stroke and a 16 mm hard-chromed S45C rod. 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 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, letting it slot into tight jigs and gantries.
Plan for about 589 N of real work at 0.5 MPa - roughly 60 kg of usable push - or match a vertical lift of about 50 kg using a 2:1 margin. This -S model carries the magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted for end-of-stroke signalling. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, and a fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends. The 1/8" port and M10x1.5 female rod thread suit standard fittings, and the hard-anodized aluminium body resists wear.

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 TACE50X55S Is Used
CNC fixture clamping
Clamps an aluminium gearbox housing in a machining fixture with 981.7 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while the twin-guide yoke keeps the clamp pad square to the bore without a separate guide rail.
Carton diverting pusher
A 55 mm stroke is enough to kick cartons off a packaging line conveyor; the non-rotating twin rods stop the pusher plate twisting under off-centre box loads.
Small press-fit station
Presses bearings into pump housings on an assembly bench - about 50 kg of vertical lift equivalent lets it handle real part weights with a 2:1 margin, and CMSE / DMSE switches confirm each cycle via the fitted magnet.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE50X55S the Right Cylinder?
At 981.7 N push, the 50 mm bore sits between the 40 mm size (628.3 N at 0.5 MPa) and the 63 mm size (1558.6 N at 0.5 MPa); step down if your load is under 600 N, step up for heavier clamping duty. Pressure of 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with speed 30-500 mm/s covers most pick-and-place cycles. The rod drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if a held load matters. Mounting choices are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC, and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches.
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 TACE50X55S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 981.7 N and pulls 881.2 N; at 0.7 MPa it reaches 1374.4 N push and 1233.7 N pull, with a theoretical maximum of 200.2 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 50 mm bore drives a 16 mm rod through an M10x1.5 female thread, with a 1/8" air port and a 55 mm stroke.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow jigs and guarded cells. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. Mounting options are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC, and because this is the -S version the magnet is already fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots.
