Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED100X55
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED100X55 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 55mm 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 TACED100X55
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the TACED100X55 pushes a 100 mm bore through a 55 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers. Because both chambers see the rod-side area, output is a matched 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa in either direction - 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop tooling rotation and carry side load, so a press plate or gripper stays square with no external guide.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters in heavy jigs and gantries where every millimetre counts. For planning, treat roughly 2262 N (about 230 kg of push) as the usable working force at 0.5 MPa, or halve the 384 kg lift equivalent for a 2:1 margin - about 192 kg vertical. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a hard-chrome plated S45C rod, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end and 1/4" ports. The magnet is the optional -S code; this model has none.

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 TACED100X55 Is Used
Heavy fixture clamping
The equal 3769.9 N thrust in both directions clamps and releases large machining fixtures with identical force, inside a body about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
Press-fit and staking station
Twin guide rods keep the punch square under side load, and the roughly 230 kg usable push at 0.5 MPa suits staking terminals or pressing bushings into housings.
Pallet strapper actuation
A 55 mm stroke drives strapper heads or band tensioners on end-of-line packaging equipment, with the 1/4" port feeding high flow for 30-500 mm/s cycling.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED100X55 the Right Cylinder?
At 3769.9 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 100 mm bore is the top of the range - step down to 80 mm (2356.2 N) for lighter clamping, or stay here when equal force both ways is the requirement. Note that the piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. Mounting is FB flange; the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches. Standard strokes for this bore run to 300 mm, so 55 mm is comfortably standard.
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 TACED100X55 FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both chambers, so output is equal either way: 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, temperature -20 to +70 C on air filtered to 40 um.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body, hard-chrome plated S45C rod and threaded aluminium covers, about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. Sensing needs the optional -S magnet code - this model has no magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches only work if you order TACED100X55S.
