The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE63X60 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 60mm 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 AirTAC TACE63X60 is a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: its 63 mm bore drives the 16 mm rod with 1558.6 N of push and 1458.1 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 2182.1 N and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa. Twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a gripper or press plate stays square without any external guide. The hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it drops into tight jigs, guards and gantries a full-length body cannot enter.
For sizing, plan on roughly 935 N of usable thrust at 0.5 MPa - about 0.6 of the push rating - and note the same force lifts about 158 kg vertically; halve that to roughly 79 kg for a 2:1 margin against a real part weight. The 60 mm stroke sits well inside the 250 mm standard range for this bore, air ports are 1/8" PT, the rod end carries a female M10x1.5 thread, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s across 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). A fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke energy at both ends, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches - without that code no sensor can be mounted.

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.

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 60 mm stroke with 1558.6 N of push at 0.5 MPa presses bearings or stakes clips into housings, while the twin-guide yoke keeps the punch from rotating or racking under side load.
Two TACE63X60 units squeeze a casting against hard stops with about 935 N of usable clamp force each, and the short ISO 21287 body tucks under the fixture plate where space is scarce.
The push force lifts about 79 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin, and the 60 mm stroke raises modules between a conveyor and an inspection station; a pilot check valve holds the load if air drops.
If 1558.6 N of push at 0.5 MPa is more than the job needs, the bore 50 TACE still delivers 981.7 N; if the part is heavier or the stroke longer, step up to bore 80 for 2513.3 N. Remember the rod drifts when air is lost - this cylinder never holds position - so add a rod lock or pilot check valve wherever a load must stay put between cycles. Mounting choices are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC, and ordering the -S code is what puts the magnet inside for CMSE / DMSE position switches.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it 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 at 1.0 MPa is 317.9 kgf. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow fixtures and guarded cells. The fixed TPU pad at each end only decelerates the piston at stroke ends - it never locks or brakes a load, and the rod drifts if air is lost, so fit a rod lock or pilot check valve where holding matters. Mounting is FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR or FTC, and only the optional -S magnet allows CMSE / DMSE switches; this model ships without it.
