Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED100X40S
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED100X40S is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 40mm 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 TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED100X40S
This is a double acting, double rod AirTAC TACED100X40S built to the ISO 21287 compact format: a 100 mm bore with a 40 mm stroke and a 20 mm rod leaving both covers, so the thrust 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 stop the tooling turning and take side load, keeping a press plate or gripper square without any external guide. Air supply runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbing stop energy.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why this bore size fits heavy clamping inside tight machine frames. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a hard-chrome plated S45C rod, and the 1/4" ports suit high-flow supply at this bore. This -S model carries the optional magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be fitted for end-of-stroke signals. As a rule of thumb, treat roughly 2262 N - about 230 kg of push - as the practical working force at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating.

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 (Ø100mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED100X40S Is Used
Heavy fixture clamping in machining centres
The 3769.9 N clamping force at 0.5 MPa, identical on extend and retract, lets one 100 mm cylinder both clamp and release a casting fixture inside a cramped CNC enclosure where a full-length profile cylinder will not fit.
Lift-and-lower die shuttle on a press table
With about 192 kg of vertical lift at a 2:1 margin, the double rod raises and lowers a die shuttle through the same 40 mm stroke, and the twin guide rods keep the plate level under off-centre load.
Reciprocating stamping head on packaging lines
Equal force both directions at speeds up to 500 mm/s suits a short-stroke stamp or emboss head; the -S magnet with CMSE / DMSE switches confirms top and bottom position for the line PLC.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED100X40S the Right Cylinder?
At this force class the TACED100X40S delivers 3769.9 N each way at 0.5 MPa; halving that for a 2:1 margin gives about 192 kg of vertical lift capacity, enough to raise a heavy fixture or die segment with margin to spare. If your job needs less, the TACED63X40S gives 1458.1 N both ways at 0.5 MPa; if you need more than 3769.9 N there is no larger ACE bore, so move to a different series. The 40 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for bore 100, so it is a catalogue item. Mounting is FB flange; the yoke has no rod-thread code, and the female M12x1.75 rod thread is fixed. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay held.
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 TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED100X40S FAQ
Yes - because a rod exits both covers, both sides work on the rod-side area. At 0.5 MPa the output is 3769.9 N in each direction; at 0.7 MPa it is 5277.9 N both ways; the maximum at 1.0 MPa is 768.8 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed is 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so the 100 mm bore fits where space is tight. The S in TACED100X40S means this model carries the magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted on the body slots. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and mounting is FB flange with 1/4" ports.
