Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE80X5
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE80X5 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 5mm 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 TACE80X5
The TACE80X5 is a double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact cylinder with an 80 mm bore and a very short 5 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 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 maximum of 512.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Air drives the rod in both directions and a fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke energy at each end.
The hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so this high-force head fits tight jigs, guards and press frames. As a rule of thumb, plan for about 1508 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, and the 20 mm rod lifts about 128 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The rod end is a female M12x1.75 thread and the port is 1/4" PT. This unit carries no magnet; order the optional -S code to enable CMSE / DMSE switches. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-500 mm/s, with air filtered to 40 um.

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 TACE80X5 Is Used
Bearing seat press on an EV motor line
The 5 mm stroke seats a ball bearing into a housing in one short, square move, while the twin-guide yoke keeps the press punch from rotating under 2513.3 N of push.
Pallet fixture clamp on a CNC machining center
Mounted under the pallet table, the 80 mm bore clamps a fixture plate with about 1508 N of usable force, and the compact body fits inside the guard envelope.
Date-code stamp press on a carton sealer
The short 5 mm stroke presses an ink stamp onto each carton flap at up to 500 mm/s, with the TPU bumper absorbing the return hit at both ends.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE80X5 the Right Cylinder?
At 80 mm bore this is near the top of the TACE range: it pushes 2513.3 N at 0.5 MPa, while a 63 mm bore delivers 1558.6 N and a 100 mm bore reaches 3927.0 N at the same pressure. Step down to 63 mm if 1500 N class force is enough; step up to 100 mm when the press or clamp needs over 3900 N. The 5 mm stroke suits seating, clamping and micro-adjust moves rather than long transfers. If the load must stay put when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check valve - the piston drifts otherwise. Mount with FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR or FTC, and order the optional -S magnet if CMSE / DMSE position switches are planned.
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 TACE80X5 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the 80 mm bore pushes 2513.3 N and pulls 2356.2 N. At 0.7 MPa push rises to 3518.6 N and pull to 3298.7 N. The theoretical maximum is 512.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa. In practice, size the job for about 1508 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, and expect roughly 128 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof rating.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it drops into tight press frames and guarded stations. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. Mounting options are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC. Position sensing needs the optional -S magnet code - this model has no magnet fitted, so CMSE / DMSE switches can only be used when -S is ordered.
