The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE63X30S is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 30mm 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.
Air drives the piston both ways in this double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder: a 63 mm bore with a 16 mm rod on a 30 mm stroke, where twin guide rods on a yoke hold the tooling square and carry side load without any external guide. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 1558.6 N and pulls 1458.1 N; at 0.7 MPa that climbs to 2182.1 N push and 2041.3 N pull, with a theoretical ceiling of 317.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Divide the push force by gravity and halve it for a 2:1 margin and this bore lifts about 79 kg vertically, while planning around 935 N of real work at 0.5 MPa keeps seals and yoke bearings in good shape. The short ISO 21287 body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into shallow guards, jigs and gantries. The S in the model code means the position magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots. It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at both ends and an S45C hard-chrome plated rod in a hard-anodized aluminium body.

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.

In an electronics assembly cell, the 1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa stakes connector pins inside a 30 mm working window, and the twin-guide yoke keeps the stake head square over the housing so no separate guide pillar is needed.
A machining cell lifts a roughly 79 kg aluminium pump housing between conveyor and pallet with the 2:1 margin already applied, and the short 30 mm stroke suits a fast lift-and-lower cycle at up to 500 mm/s in a tight envelope.
Mounted as a stopper on an automotive door-trim conveyor, the 63 mm bore holds panels against a fixture through the 30 mm extend, while the fitted -S magnet feeds a DMSE switch that confirms the gate is fully out before the next pallet releases.
The 63 mm bore sits between the 50 mm (981.7 N push at 0.5 MPa) and the 80 mm (2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa): if your fixture needs under 900 N of usable work the smaller bore saves air and money, and if your calculation lands near the 935 N planning figure for this bore, stay at 63. Keep in mind the rod drifts as soon as air is lost, so for a held vertical load add a rod lock or a pilot check valve rather than relying on the cylinder itself. Mounting choices are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC, and because the -S magnet is fitted on this unit, CMSE or DMSE switches can be clamped in at any position along the 30 mm stroke.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa this 63 mm bore pushes 1558.6 N and pulls 1458.1 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 2182.1 N and pulls 2041.3 N; the theoretical maximum is 317.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 16 mm rod ends in a female M10x1.5 thread and the air ports are 1/8" PT. For sizing, plan on roughly 935 N of real work at 0.5 MPa so the seals and yoke bearings run cool over the long term.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow fixtures and guarded gantries. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. Mounting options are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC. Because the -S magnet is fitted on this model, CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches clamp into the slots on the hard-anodized aluminium body at any point along the 30 mm stroke.
