Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE80X40
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE80X40 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 40mm 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 TACE80X40
The TACE80X40 is a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder built to the ISO 21287 short-body format, with an 80 mm bore and a 40 mm stroke. 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. At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 2513.3 N and pulls with 2356.2 N; at 0.7 MPa those figures rise to 3518.6 N and 3298.7 N, with a theoretical maximum of 512.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The hard-anodized aluminium body runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-500 mm/s, with a 20 mm S45C hard-chrome rod and a fixed TPU bumper at both ends. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight machine frames and gantries. Plan for roughly 1508 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, or expect it to lift about 128 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches; without it no sensor can be fitted.

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 TACE80X40 Is Used
CNC fixture clamping
Clamps a steel machining fixture on a milling centre between cycles. The 40 mm stroke is enough to clear a part change, and 2513.3 N at 0.5 MPa holds the workpiece square thanks to the twin-guide yoke.
Bearing seating press
Presses sealed bearings into pump housings on a short-stroke bench station. At 0.7 MPa the push rises to 3518.6 N, enough for light interference fits without a full-size press frame.
Casting lift-and-present
Raises an aluminium die-cast housing of about 128 kg to an assembly pallet with a 2:1 margin. The non-rotating guide rods keep the part facing the operator, and the TPU bumper softens the top-of-stroke stop.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE80X40 the Right Cylinder?
For this 40 mm stroke, check the force class first: a 63 mm bore pushes only 1558.6 N at 0.5 MPa, while a 100 mm bore reaches 3927.0 N, so the 80 mm bore at 2513.3 N sits squarely in the mid-heavy clamping and pressing band. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost - it never holds or brakes a load - so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the position must stay put. Mounting choices are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC; the yoke carries no rod-thread code, the rod end is female M12x1.75, and the port thread is PT. Order the -S code only if you need CMSE / DMSE switch sensing.
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 TACE80X40 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the 80 mm bore pushes 2513.3 N and pulls 2356.2 N. At 0.7 MPa push is 3518.6 N and pull is 3298.7 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 512.6 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
It is an ISO 21287 short-body cylinder whose hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits tight guards and gantries. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. Mounting options are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC, with a female M12x1.75 rod thread and a 1/4" PT port. Position sensing needs the optional -S magnet, which allows CMSE / DMSE switches; without -S no sensor mounts.
