The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED100X30 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 30mm 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.
This is a double acting, double rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a rod leaves both covers, so the 100 mm bore delivers the same 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa (5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa) whether it extends or retracts. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a heavy press plate or clamp arm stays square without an external guide. The hard-anodized aluminium body pairs with an S45C hard-chrome plated 20 mm rod, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters when a 30 mm stroke must fit inside a guarded weld fixture or a dense palletizing gantry. For sizing real work, plan on roughly 2262 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa, and expect about 192 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed runs 30-500 mm/s, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches; without -S no magnet is fitted.

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.
The equal 3769.9 N clamp and release force plus a 30 mm stroke suits heavy weld fixtures where the twin guide yoke keeps the clamp shoe square over the joint.
A short 30 mm kick with about 2262 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa squares cartons on a palletizer conveyor, and the compact body fits between guard rails.
With roughly 192 kg of vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin, the 100 mm bore handles light press and ejection work on assembly benches where space is tight.
At 3769.9 N per direction this is the top of the ACE compact range. If your load needs under 2356 N at 0.5 MPa, the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N) saves space; there is no larger ACE bore, so step up to a different series beyond that. The 30 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for bore 100. Note that the piston drifts if air is lost - for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. Mounting is FB flange, rod end is female M12x1.75, ports are 1/4" PT, and the -S code is required if you want CMSE / DMSE switch positions.
Quick checklist
Yes - because a rod exits both covers, both sides see the rod-side area. Output is 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa, equal on extend and retract, 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, temperature -20 to +70 C on air filtered to 40 um.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so a 30 mm stroke cylinder fits inside guarded cells and tight gantries. The twin guide rods on the yoke prevent load rotation and carry side load, the fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke shock at both ends, and FB flange mounting with a female M12x1.75 rod thread is standard. Add the optional -S magnet if you need CMSE / DMSE switch feedback.
