The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED100X45 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 45mm 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.
A double acting, double rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the TACED100X45 pushes a 100 mm bore through a 45 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers. Because each side works on the rod-side area, output is a matched 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa in extend and retract alike. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a gripper or press plate stays square without an external guide.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated 20 mm rod shrugs off wear in daily production, and the short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, letting it slot into dense weld fixtures and gantries. As a rule of thumb, plan on roughly 2260 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, and for vertical duty halve the 384 kg thrust equivalent to lift about 192 kg with margin. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / 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.
| 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 matched 3769.9 N clamp and unclamp force clamps and releases car-body panels with identical pressure, while the twin guide yoke keeps the clamp shoe square to the nest.
A 45 mm stroke covers bearing or bushing staking in electronics assembly; about 2260 N of practical force at 0.5 MPa seats parts without overshooting the frame.
Equal force both ways sweeps cartons off a conveyor in either direction, and the short ISO 21287 body fits the tight header space above the belt.
At 3769.9 N per direction this is the top of the ACE compact range; step down to the TACED80 (2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa) for lighter clamps or stay here for heavy press and lift tooling. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay put. The 45 mm stroke is within the 300 mm standard limit for bore 100, air is supplied through a 1/4" port, the rod end carries a female M12x1.75 thread, and FB flange mounting plus the optional -S magnet (for CMSE / DMSE switches) can be ordered to suit the machine.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double rod design means a rod exits both covers, so extend and retract both act on the rod-side area. Output is 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, equal both ways, 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), and speed 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 compact body is hard-anodized aluminium with a hard-chrome plated S45C rod, and it saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. Sensing needs the optional -S magnet code - without it no magnet is fitted and no CMSE / DMSE switch can be mounted. The piston does not hold position when air is lost, so use a rod lock or pilot check valve for held loads.
