The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE63X45 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 45mm 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 TACE63X45 is a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 63 mm bore drives a 16 mm hard-chrome S45C rod over a 45 mm stroke, with air fed through a 1/8" PT port. 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. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 1558.6 N and pulls 1458.1 N; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 2182.1 N push and 2041.3 N pull, with a theoretical peak of 317.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Its short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures, guards and gantries where a full-length body will not fit. Plan on roughly 935 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa (about 60% of the push rating), which lifts about 79 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switch sensing when ordered.

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.

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.
Pressing ball bearings into pump housings on an automotive assembly line, where the 1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa seats the race and the twin-guide yoke keeps the arbor square to the bore.
Clamping large aluminium castings on a machining-center fixture, where the 45 mm stroke clamps and releases inside a tight tooling plate and the non-rotating rods stop the clamp pad twisting.
Lifting about 79 kg steel panels between pallet stations in a packaging gantry, using the vertical-lift margin of the 63 mm bore with a pilot check valve to hold the load if air drops.
At 63 mm bore this sits in the mid-heavy class: the 50 mm bore pushes 981.7 N at 0.5 MPa if your load is lighter, while the 80 mm bore pushes 2513.3 N when you need more. The 45 mm stroke suits short clamp-and-press moves. Remember the rod drifts when air is lost - it never holds position - so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a suspended load. Mounting options are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC, and the optional -S magnet is the only way to fit CMSE / DMSE switches.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the 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. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 30-500 mm/s, and air filtered to 40 um.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a hard-anodized aluminium body, threaded aluminium covers and a fixed TPU bumper at both ends. Mounting choices are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC, and the rod end carries a female M10x1.5 thread. Position sensing needs the optional -S magnet code - without it no magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE switches cannot be mounted.
