The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE80X50 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 50mm 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 TACE80X50 packs an 80 mm bore and a 50 mm stroke into an ISO 21287 compact body: a hard-anodized aluminium-alloy cylinder with a 20 mm S45C hard-chrome rod running on a twin-guide yoke. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 2513.3 N and pulls 2356.2 N; at 0.7 MPa those figures climb to 3518.6 N and 3298.7 N, with a theoretical maximum of 512.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so heavy clamping fits inside tight machine frames and guards.
In practice, plan for roughly 1508 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa - about 60% of the raw rating - which lifts about 128 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a gripper or press plate stays square without any external guide. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, air must be filtered to 40 um, pressure runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed spans 30-500 mm/s, and temperature covers -20 to +70 C. The magnet is optional: order the -S code to enable CMSE or DMSE switches.

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.
Pressing bushings into gearbox housings on a machining line: 2513.3 N at 0.5 MPa leaves roughly 1508 N of usable push for interference fits on aluminium castings, while the twin-guide yoke keeps the punch square to the bore.
Raising about 128 kg fixtures or castings between machining stations with a 2:1 margin; the 50 mm stroke suits short shuttle moves and the 20 mm rod tolerates the side load of an off-center part.
Holding large cartons square during taping or strapping: the non-rotating twin guide rods stop the clamp plate twisting, and the compact body fits inside the machine guard where a full-length cylinder will not.
At 0.5 MPa the 80 mm bore pushes 2513.3 N. If your load needs less than about 1558.6 N, the 63 mm bore will do the job in a smaller footprint; if it needs more than 3927.0 N, step up to the 100 mm bore. The piston drifts when air is lost, so for a held load add a rod lock or a pilot check valve rather than relying on the cylinder itself.
Mount with an FB flange, CA or CB clevis, CR, or FTC feet; the rod ends in a female M12x1.75 thread and the air supply connects through a 1/4" PT port. Choose the -S code if you want the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switch position feedback.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 2513.3 N and pulls 2356.2 N. At 0.7 MPa the figures are 3518.6 N push and 3298.7 N pull, and the theoretical maximum is 512.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa. As a working rule, plan for about 1508 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 128 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a 20 mm S45C hard-chrome rod on a twin-guide yoke, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end and FB, CA, CB, CR or FTC mounting options. The rod thread is female M12x1.75 and the port is 1/4" PT. The magnet is optional: order the -S code to run CMSE or DMSE switches; without -S no sensor can be mounted.
