The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED100X30S 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.
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the TACED100X30S pushes and pulls with identical force: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa in each direction, because both chambers work on the rod-side area. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a 100 mm bore press plate or clamping beam stays square without an external guide. The fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock.
This is an ISO 21287 compact build: the hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters in heavy fixture plates and gantry frames where every millimetre of depth counts. The S45C piston rod is hard-chrome plated, the 30 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm standard range for this bore, and the fitted -S magnet lets CMSE or DMSE switches report end positions. As a rule of thumb, plan on roughly 2262 N (about 230 kgf) of usable work at 0.5 MPa, and expect around 192 kg of vertical lift 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.
The twin guide yoke keeps a heavy clamp beam square over the 30 mm stroke while 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa seats steel brackets in a automotive weld cell, equal force on clamp and release.
With about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, the short 100 mm bore body fits under a low gantry for light press work near 2262 N, with the TPU bumper taking the end-of-stroke hit.
The fitted -S magnet drives CMSE / DMSE switches so a PLC confirms the 30 mm down-move of a small pallet lift, where the yoke's guide rods stop the platform twisting under roughly 192 kg of vertical lift margin.
At 100 mm bore this is the top of the TACED range: 3769.9 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, equal both ways. If your load needs under 1458 N, the 63 mm bore does the same job more cheaply; if you need more than 3769.9 N, no larger TACED exists, so step to a different series. The 30 mm stroke suits short clamp-and-release moves; longer travels up to 300 mm are standard for this bore. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. This model already carries the optional -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches, mounts on an FB flange, and takes a 1/4 PT port with an M12x1.75 female rod thread.
Quick checklist
Yes - it is a double-rod cylinder, so a rod exits both covers and both strokes act on the rod-side area. Output is 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa, identical pushing and pulling, with a maximum of 768.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um.
The hard-anodized aluminium compact body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixture bases. TACED100X30S carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clamped straight onto the body for end-of-stroke signals. The rod end is M12x1.75 female thread, the port is 1/4 PT, and the fixed TPU bumpers at both ends absorb end-of-stroke energy.
