The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED100X100 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 100mm 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 double rod, the TACED100X100 pushes a 100 mm piston through a 100 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers, so the force is identical in each direction: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa. Twin guide rods on the yoke keep the tooling from rotating and carry side load, so a heavy press plate or lifting fixture stays square without an external guide. The fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is an ISO 21287 compact build that saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, letting this 100 mm bore fit inside guards and gantries where a full-length body will not. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof, speed runs 30-500 mm/s, and the rod is S45C steel with hard chrome, female M12x1.75 thread. Ports are 1/4" PT. Plan on roughly 2260 N (about 230 kgf) of usable work at 0.5 MPa, or lift about 192 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

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.
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3770 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 5278 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 769 kgf |
Double-rod: a rod exits both covers, so output force is equal in both directions (rod-side area used). Twin guide rods carry the side load and 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.
Equal 3769.9 N force in both directions lets one cylinder compact and retract a baling platen on the same stroke, with the twin guide yoke keeping the platen level against uneven bale resistance.
A 100 mm bore lifting about 192 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin suits a pallet transfer carriage, and the non-rotating guide rods stop the carriage twisting on its guides.
The compact ISO 21287 body halves the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so a heavy sand-gate slide can be driven inside a tight foundry shroud at 30-500 mm/s.
At 3769.9 N per direction this is the top of the range: a TACED63X100 gives 1458.1 N if the load is lighter, and there is no larger standard bore in the series. Because it does not hold position when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a suspended load. The FB flange, CA, CB, CR and FTC mountings cover frame and fixture needs, and order the -S code if you want the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches - without -S no magnet is fitted.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design means both directions see the rod-side area. Output is 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, with a maximum of 768.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, port 1/4" PT, female rod thread M12x1.75.
The ISO 21287 aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so a 100 mm bore fits where a long-body cylinder cannot. Each end carries a fixed TPU bumper that decelerates the piston at the ends of travel only; it never locks or holds a load, so use a rod lock or pilot check valve where a suspended position must be kept. The optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches.
