Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED100X60S
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED100X60S is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 60mm 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 TACED100X60S
This is a double acting, double rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 100 mm bore pushes a 20 mm rod out of BOTH covers, so the force is identical in each direction - 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa, equal both ways because both chambers see the rod-side area. Twin guide rods on the yoke keep the tooling from 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 rod runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why this 60 mm stroke unit drops into tight press fixtures and gantries where a full-length body will not fit. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. The S in the model code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted anywhere along the body slots. As a rule of thumb, plan for about 2262 N of real work at 0.5 MPa - roughly 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.
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 TACED100X60S Is Used
Press fixture with mirrored return
The through-rod gives 3769.9 N on both the press and the return stroke, so heavy die trays or locating nests are retracted with the same force that clamped them - no separate return cylinder needed.
Gantry pick-and-place on a CNC line
Twin guide rods stop the gripper rotating while the short body fits inside the gantry beam, and the fitted -S magnet feeds CMSE switches for part-present checks at 30-500 mm/s.
Pallet strapper clamp head
About 192 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin lets this 100 mm bore hold down strapping heads on packaging lines, with the 1/4" port plumbed straight into the machine valve manifold.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED100X60S the Right Cylinder?
At 100 mm bore this is the top of the ACE compact range: 3769.9 N both ways at 0.5 MPa. Step down to the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N) for lighter press or clamp work, or move to a larger-bore series if you need more than 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa. The 60 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm max standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a standard part. Remember it does not hold position when air is lost - the piston drifts - so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. FB flange mounting is available, and the fitted -S magnet lets you add CMSE / DMSE switches for end-of-stroke or mid-stroke sensing.
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 TACED100X60S FAQ
Yes - the double rod means a rod exits both covers and both chambers use the rod-side area, so output is equal both ways: 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 range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 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 whose short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end to absorb end-of-stroke shock. The S in TACED100X60S means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount in the body slots; without the -S code there is no magnet. Rod end is a female M12x1.75 thread and the port is 1/4" PT.
