The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE63X5 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm 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.
Built as a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder, the AirTAC TACE63X5 pairs a 63 mm bore with a 5 mm stroke in an ISO 21287 short body. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 1558.6 N and pulls 1458.1 N; at 0.7 MPa push climbs to 2182.1 N, with a theoretical peak of 317.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a gripper or press punch stays square without an external guide. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it fits inside tight jigs, guards and gantries.
For sizing, plan on about 935 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa (roughly 0.6 of the push figure) and expect it to lift about 79 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The roller-burnished bore is hard-anodized for wear resistance, the 16 mm rod is S45C steel with hard-chrome plating, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. Supply air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), temperature -20 to +70 C, speed 30-500 mm/s. No magnet is fitted on this code; the optional -S version accepts CMSE / DMSE switches.

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.

| 0.7 MPa | 2182 N | 2041 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 318 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.
A 5 mm clamp stroke is enough to seat a clamp shoe on an aluminium gearbox housing; 1558.6 N at 0.5 MPa holds the joint through a facing cut, and the twin-guide yoke keeps the shoe from twisting.
Pressing a sintered bushing into a pump cover needs travel, not reach: 2182.1 N of push at 0.7 MPa drives the insert home while the guide rods hold the punch square to the bore.
A 5 mm kick at 30-500 mm/s nudges an out-of-spec carton off a conveyor lane; the compact body slots inside the guard frame where a full-length profile cylinder would not fit.
For lighter clamps, the 50 mm bore pushes 981.7 N at 0.5 MPa; for heavier insertion work, step up to the 80 mm bore at 2513.3 N. This 5 mm stroke sits well inside the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for bore 63, so it ships as a standard item. Air on both ports means the piston drifts if pressure is lost - for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. Mount it FB, CA, CB, CR or FTC; the rod ends in a female M10x1.5 thread and the air port is 1/8 inch PT. If switching is needed, order the -S magnet code rather than assuming a magnet is present.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the 63 mm bore pushes 1558.6 N and pulls 1458.1 N; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 2182.1 N with pull at 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), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and speed runs 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder: hard-anodized aluminium body, 16 mm hard-chrome plated S45C rod with a female M10x1.5 thread, 1/8 inch PT air port, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end that only decelerates the stroke ends. Mounting options are FB, CA, CB, CR and FTC. No magnet is fitted on this code, so no switch can be mounted; order the optional -S version to run CMSE or DMSE switches.
