The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE50X90 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 90mm 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.
The TACE50X90 is a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 50 mm bore driving a 16 mm hard-chrome-plated S45C rod over a 90 mm stroke, with twin guide rods on a yoke that 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 maximum of 200.2 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The hard-anodized aluminium body keeps the mounting length about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so this 90 mm stroke unit fits tight jigs, guards and gantries. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, and in practice the rod lifts about 50 kg vertically at 0.5 MPa with a 2:1 margin (plan on roughly 589 N of real work). Position sensing needs the optional -S magnet, which enables CMSE / DMSE switches; without -S no magnet is fitted.

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.
| 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.

ACE-family variants: ACE (double acting), ASE / ATE (single acting push / pull), ACED (double rod), ACEJ (adjustable stroke), TACE / TACED (non-rotating twin-guide yoke). Mounting accessories: FA / FB flange, LB foot, CA / CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, FTC; plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G.
The 981.7 N push at 0.5 MPa seats ball bearings into aluminium pump housings on a small assembly cell, while the twin-guide yoke keeps the arbor square to the bore without an external guide.
Mounted above a packaging conveyor, the 90 mm stroke presses folding carton flaps flat before sealing, and the short ISO 21287 body fits under a low guard where a full-length profile cylinder will not.
Two TACE50X90 units clamp aluminium brackets against hardened stops in a machining fixture; the non-rotating rods hold the clamp plates parallel, and the fixed TPU bumpers quiet each clamp cycle.
Size by force: if 981.7 N push at 0.5 MPa is more than the job needs, the bore 32 TACE gives 402.1 N; if the load grows, step up to bore 63 for 1558.6 N at the same pressure. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost - it never holds or brakes a load - so add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a position must be kept.
The 1/8" port and M10x1.5 female rod thread suit standard fittings, and FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR or FTC mountings cover most frames. Order the -S code only if CMSE / DMSE switch sensing is required.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the 50 mm bore 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. The theoretical maximum is 200.2 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed range 30-500 mm/s, and air filtered to 40 um. For sizing, treat about 589 N as the usable push at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 50 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with threaded aluminium covers for easy service and a fixed TPU bumper at both stroke ends. Mounting choices are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC; the rod end is a female M10x1.5 thread and the port is 1/8". Sensing via CMSE / DMSE switches requires the optional -S magnet - without that code no magnet is installed.
