Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE80X15S
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE80X15S is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 15mm 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.

About the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE80X15S
The TACE80X15S is a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: an 80 mm bore, a short 15 mm stroke, a 20 mm hard-chrome-plated S45C rod and a 1/4" 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 any external guide. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 2513.3 N and pulls 2356.2 N; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 3518.6 N push and 3298.7 N pull, with a theoretical maximum of 512.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
For sizing, plan on roughly 1508 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating, which is about 128 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin - enough to index a heavy pallet or stake a large bracket. The hard-anodized aluminium body mounts about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight machine frames and guards. This -S model carries the optional magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be fitted for end-of-stroke sensing. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy; the cylinder runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, from -20 to +70 C.

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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø80mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 2513 N | 2356 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 3519 N | 3299 N |
| 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.

Where the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE80X15S Is Used
Staking terminals on automotive connector housings
A 15 mm throw is ideal for a short press stroke: 2513.3 N at 0.5 MPa stakes the terminal while the twin-guide yoke keeps the punch square to the housing, and the -S magnet signals top of stroke to the PLC.
Case clamp on a palletizer for 25 kg cartons
About 128 kg of vertical lift capacity with a 2:1 margin lets one cylinder square a stacked layer against a backstop; the short ISO 21287 body fits between the palletizer frame members where a longer body will not.
Clamping large weldments in a fixture on a fabrication line
The 80 mm bore holds a steel panel against locating pins with 2513.3 N at 0.5 MPa, the guide rods stop the clamp arm rotating under side load, and CMSE or DMSE switches confirm the clamp is fully closed before weld.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE80X15S the Right Cylinder?
At 2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, the 80 mm bore sits well above the 63 mm size (1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa) for heavy clamping, while the 100 mm bore (3927.0 N push at 0.5 MPa) is the step up when a 2:1 force reserve is not enough. The 15 mm stroke suits short-throw press, stake and clamp positions; longer travels up to 300 mm are standard for this bore. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - it never holds or brakes a load, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a position must be kept. Mount with FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR or FTC, and note the rod end is a female M12x1.75 thread with no rod-thread code on the yoke.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Short stroke fits the compact body
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Add -S if you need the magnet for sensors
- ✓ Rod type (female / male B) & mount (FA/LB/CA)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Compact body: keep the stroke short and avoid side load on the rod.
- check Do not dismantle the threaded front/back covers.
- check Keep speed within the rated range; the TPU bumper absorbs stroke-end energy.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE80X15S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the 80 mm bore pushes 2513.3 N and pulls 2356.2 N. At 0.7 MPa it reaches 3518.6 N push and 3298.7 N pull. The theoretical maximum is 512.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa. A practical planning figure is about 1508 N of work at 0.5 MPa, roughly 128 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 aluminium body mounts about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so the cylinder fits inside guards and between frame members. Twin guide rods on a yoke keep the load from rotating and carry side load without an external guide. This -S version carries the magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly on the body slots for position feedback. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, mounting options are FB, CA, CB, CR and FTC, and the rod end is a female M12x1.75 thread.
