Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE50X5S
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE50X5S 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 TACE50X5S
Double acting with a twin-guide yoke, the TACE50X5S turns 0.5 MPa into 981.7 N of push and 881.2 N of pull over a very short 5 mm stroke. 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 - a real edge over a plain compact cylinder. At 0.7 MPa the figures climb to 1374.4 N push and 1233.7 N pull, with a theoretical peak of 200.2 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 50 mm bore runs in a hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated 16 mm rod.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures and guards where a full-length cylinder will not. In practice, plan for roughly 589 N (about 60 kgf) of real work at 0.5 MPa instead of the full rating, or expect it to lift about 50 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The -S magnet is fitted on this model, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted in the body slots to track position. Supply air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi); speed 30-500 mm/s; a fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends.

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 TACE50X5S Is Used
CNC fixture clamp
Clamping a machined aluminium housing on a milling fixture: the 5 mm stroke is exactly the clamp move needed, and the twin-guide yoke keeps the clamp pad square to the part without a side guide.
Die ejection kick
Kicking a finished stamping off the nest of a small press die: 981.7 N at 0.5 MPa clears the part in one short hit, and the fixed TPU bumper absorbs the return stop.
Carton lane diverter
Pushing cartons between two conveyor lanes on a packaging line: the non-rotating twin rods keep the pusher plate flat against the box face, and the -S magnet feeds a DMSE switch for part-present signalling.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE50X5S the Right Cylinder?
Size both ways before you commit: if 981.7 N at 0.5 MPa is more than the job needs, the 40 mm bore delivers 628.3 N push and 571.8 N pull at the same pressure; if you need more, the 63 mm bore gives 1558.6 N push and 1458.1 N pull. The 5 mm stroke suits short clamp, eject or gauge moves, and longer standard strokes up to 250 mm exist for this bore. The piston drifts if air is lost, so for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. Mounting choices are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC; the female M10x1.5 rod thread on the yoke takes standard tooling, and the port thread is PT.
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 TACE50X5S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 981.7 N and pulls 881.2 N. At 0.7 MPa push rises to 1374.4 N and pull to 1233.7 N, and the theoretical maximum is 200.2 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 16 mm rod carries a female M10x1.5 thread and the air port is 1/8" (PT).
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. The -S magnet fitted on this model accepts CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches in the body slots. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C.
