The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE80X100 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 100mm stroke, 1/4" 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.
A double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the TACE80X100 pairs an 80 mm bore and 100 mm stroke with a 20 mm hard-chrome-plated S45C rod. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 2513.3 N and pulls 2356.2 N; at 0.7 MPa those figures rise to 3518.6 N and 3298.7 N, with a theoretical peak of 512.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa. 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.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight presses, guards and gantries. Plan on roughly 1508 N (about 153 kg) of usable push at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating - in vertical terms that means lifting about 128 kg with margin to spare. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, and the hard-anodized aluminium body with 1/4" PT ports runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-500 mm/s.

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.

| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 513 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.
With 2513.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, the 80 mm bore drives a small staking head that crimps terminals or rivets on an electronics assembly line, while the 100 mm stroke retracts far enough to clear the part for manual loading.
The twin-guide yoke holds a clamp arm square on automotive sheet-metal fixtures, taking side load without a separate linear guide, and the 1/4" PT ports keep air plumbing compact inside the fixture frame.
In a palletizing cell this cylinder lifts about 128 kg vertically at 0.5 MPa with margin to spare; fit a pilot check valve on the extend line, since the piston will drift down if supply air is lost mid-lift.
Against the 63 mm bore (1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa) this 80 mm unit delivers about 60% more force; step up to the 100 mm bore (3927.0 N at 0.5 MPa) when the job needs over 50% more again. Both share the same short-body construction - confirm exact envelope dimensions from the datasheet. Because the piston drifts whenever air is removed, add a rod lock or pilot check valve for any load that must stay held. FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC mountings are offered, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE or DMSE switches in the body slots.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 2513.3 N and pulls 2356.2 N; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 3518.6 N and pull to 3298.7 N. The theoretical maximum is 512.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The cylinder is double acting, so air drives both the extend and return strokes, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-500 mm/s.
The hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with threaded front and back covers for easy service. FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC mountings fit the yoke, and the rod end carries a female M12x1.75 thread. Position sensing requires the optional -S magnet code: with it, CMSE or DMSE switches mount in the body slots - without -S there is no magnet and no switch can be read.
