The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE80X45S is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 45mm 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.
The TACE80X45S is a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: an 80 mm bore with a 45 mm stroke, a 20 mm hard-chrome-plated S45C rod ending in a female M12x1.75 thread, and 1/4" PT ports. 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 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.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight machine frames, guards and gantries where a full-length cylinder will not fit. For real-world sizing, plan on roughly 1508 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, and for vertical work that equates to about 256 kg at full rating - or about 128 kg with a 2:1 margin. The -S code on this model means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped into the body slots. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock; the unit 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.

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.
A 45 mm stroke covers the short travel of pressing bronze bushings into gearbox housings on an automotive machining line; 2513.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa handles light press work, and the twin-guide yoke keeps the arbor square to the bore.
On a case-packing machine, the non-rotating twin rods press a lid flat while glue sets, and the short ISO 21287 body tucks under a low guard where a longer profile cylinder would not clear the frame.
A pop-up stopper on a pallet conveyor needs side-load stiffness more than long travel; the 80 mm yoke carries the side thrust, the -S magnet feeds a CMSE switch to confirm the gate is up, and the 1/4" port keeps response quick.
Comparing bores: the 63 mm version of this series delivers 1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 100 mm bore reaches 3927.0 N - this 80 mm model sits between them with 2513.3 N push and 2356.2 N pull, a strong match for medium-duty pressing, clamping and lifting at a 45 mm stroke. Note that the piston drifts if air is lost, so it never locks or holds a suspended load on its own; add a rod lock or pilot check valve where position must be kept. Mounting options are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC, and because the -S magnet is fitted on this unit, CMSE or DMSE switches can be added for end-of-stroke or mid-stroke sensing without any rework.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 2513.3 N and pulls 2356.2 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 3518.6 N and pulls 3298.7 N; the theoretical maximum is 512.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 80 mm bore drives a 20 mm rod with a female M12x1.75 thread, supplied through 1/4" PT ports, and the rod extends and retracts under air - it is double acting throughout.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight jigs and gantries. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. This -S version carries the magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots; speed range is 30-500 mm/s and temperature spans -20 to +70 C.
