The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED100X50S is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 50mm 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 TACED100X50S pushes and pulls with identical force because both chambers see the rod-side area: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa. The 100 mm bore is the top of the TACED range, and the twin guide rods on the yoke keep heavy tooling square while carrying side load, so no external guide is needed. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is an ISO 21287 compact build, saving about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which helps when a 100 mm bore must fit inside a press fixture or machine guard. The S code on this model means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clamped straight onto the body slots. Ports are 1/4" and the rod ends carry a female M12x1.75 thread. Plan for about 2262 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, and in vertical terms the rod can lift roughly 192 kg 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 3769.9 N both-ways force clamps steel forgings in a machining centre fixture, and the twin guide yoke keeps the clamp plate square without a separate guide.
On a stamping line, the 50 mm stroke indexes a heavy die slide between two hard stops, with the TPU bumpers taking the end-of-stroke shock at each move.
In a warehouse strapping machine, the double rod pushes and pulls the tension head with equal 3769.9 N force, while CMSE switches on the -S magnet confirm each end position.
Step down to the TACED80 (2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa) when the load is lighter and space is tighter, or stay here for the full 3769.9 N. If you need a single rod with the same non-rotating yoke, the TACE is the related type; the ACED is the plain double-rod version without guide rods. Note that the piston drifts if air is lost, so fit a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must be held. Mounting is FB flange, and this unit already carries the -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE sensing.
Quick checklist
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, output is equal both ways (rod-side area on each side): 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 768.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the bore is 100 mm with a 50 mm stroke.
The ISO 21287 compact body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so a 100 mm bore fits where a full-length cylinder will not. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be mounted in the body slots. Mounting is FB flange, the rod ends are female M12x1.75, ports are 1/4", and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. For outline dimensions, confirm from datasheet.
