Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE80X40S
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE80X40S 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 TACE80X40S
A double acting, non-rotating actuator built to ISO 21287, the TACE80X40S pairs an 80 mm bore with a 40 mm stroke, and twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating while carrying side load. 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 ceiling of 512.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The roller-burnished bore is hard-anodized for wear resistance, and the 20 mm S45C piston rod is hard-chrome plated.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits press fixtures, guards and gantries where a full-length actuator will not. For real-world sizing, plan on roughly 1508 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa (about 60% of the rating) - in vertical terms a theoretical lift near 256 kg, or about 128 kg with a 2:1 margin. This -S model carries the magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount in the body slots for end-of-stroke signalling, and a fixed TPU bumper absorbs energy at both ends.

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 TACE80X40S Is Used
Short-stroke pressing fixture
Pressing bearings or bushings into gearbox housings on a transfer line, where the 2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa does the work and the 40 mm stroke keeps the fixture footprint small.
CNC pallet clamping
Clamping a fixture plate square on a machining-centre pallet: the twin-guide yoke stops the clamp rotating and takes side load, so no external guide is needed beside the vise.
Casting lift-and-lower station
Lifting aluminium die-castings of about 128 kg between pallets at a foundry cell, using the 2:1 margin on the 80 mm bore and CMSE switches to confirm top and bottom of stroke.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE80X40S the Right Cylinder?
Right force class? Step down to the 63 mm bore for 1558.6 N at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the 100 mm bore for 3927.0 N. If the load must stay put when air is lost, note that the piston drifts - add a rod lock or a pilot check valve. Mounting choices are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC; the rod end is female M12x1.75 and the port is 1/4" PT. Because this is the -S version, the magnet is already fitted for CMSE / DMSE switches. Run it on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-500 mm/s.
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 TACE80X40S FAQ
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, and the theoretical maximum is 512.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 20 mm hard-chrome rod and the twin-guide yoke carry side load across the full 40 mm stroke.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy and is not adjustable. Mounting options are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC. This -S model carries the magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots; the port is 1/4" PT and the rod thread is female M12x1.75.
