The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE80X30 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 30mm 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.
Double acting and non-rotating, the AirTAC TACE80X30 pairs an 80 mm bore with a 30 mm stroke in an ISO 21287 compact body. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 2513.3 N and pulls 2356.2 N, rising to 3518.6 N on the push stroke at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical peak of 512.6 kgf. 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.
For real work, plan on roughly 1508 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa; in vertical terms that is about 256 kg of lift, or a comfortable 128 kg with a 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body runs a 20 mm S45C hard-chrome rod and takes a 1/4" PT port, while the short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder - handy inside tight guards and gantries. A fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke energy at both ends; speed runs 30-500 mm/s across 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).

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.
The 2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa swages or clinches thin steel brackets in a weld-shop jig, and the twin-guide yoke keeps the punch head square to the die through 30 mm of travel.
Mounted via an FB flange inside a tight CNC guard, the short body clamps aluminium housings against a fixture with about 1508 N of usable force, freeing space a longer cylinder would eat.
A 30 mm stroke presses sealed bearings into pump end bells at bench pressure, with the 20 mm hard-chrome rod resisting side load from hand-loaded parts.
At 0.5 MPa this 80 mm bore pushes 2513.3 N. Step down to a 63 mm bore (1558.6 N push) if the load is lighter, or up to a 100 mm bore (3927.0 N push) when you need more muscle - both share the same compact footprint logic. The 30 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a catalogue item. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost; for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check valve.
Mounting options are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC, and the rod end carries a female M12x1.75 thread with no rod-thread code on the yoke. If you need end-of-stroke signalling, order the optional -S magnet code so CMSE or DMSE switches can ride the body slots; without -S there is no magnet fitted.
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 with pull at 3298.7 N. The theoretical maximum is 512.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Supply air is filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), with proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and rod speed spans 30-500 mm/s.
The 80 mm compact body accepts FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC mounts, and the rod end is a female M12x1.75 thread. Its short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and a fixed TPU bumper decelerates the piston at both ends. For sensing, order the optional -S magnet code, which lets CMSE or DMSE switches sit in the body slots; without -S there is no magnet. If a load must stay put when air drops, add a rod lock or pilot check valve.
