The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED100X70S is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 70mm 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.
This 100 mm bore unit is double acting with a double rod: a 20 mm rod exits both covers, so the output force is EQUAL in each direction because both sides work on the rod-side area. At 0.5 MPa that is 3769.9 N either way, rising to 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a heavy press plate or gripper stays square with no external guide. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy.
The ISO 21287 compact body is hard-anodized aluminium with an S45C hard-chrome plated rod, and it saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder - useful inside large guarding or gantry frames where every millimetre counts. The -S code on this model means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clamped anywhere along the body slots. Practical sizing: plan on roughly 2262 N (about 230 kg) of real work at 0.5 MPa, and for vertical lifts halve the 384 kg thrust equivalent to lift about 192 kg with margin. Ports are 1/4" (PT), speed range 30-500 mm/s.

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.

|---|---|
| 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 equal 3769.9 N clamping force in both directions at 0.5 MPa lets one cylinder clamp and unclamp a large casting fixture with identical force, and the twin guide rods keep the clamp pad square to the datum.
With about 384 kg of thrust equivalent at 0.5 MPa, the 70 mm stroke raises heavy pallet trays; halving for margin means lifting parts around 192 kg is comfortable, and the fitted magnet feeds CMSE switches for up/down confirmation.
A 100 mm bore pressing bearings into housings gains the compact body - about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder - so the station fits inside tight guarding, while the non-rotating yoke keeps the punch aligned.
At this force class the neighbours matter: bore 80 delivers 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa both ways, while this 100 mm bore gives 3769.9 N - a step up when a clamp or lift plate needs the extra push. There is no larger standard bore, so 100 mm is the top of the range. The 70 mm stroke sits inside the 300 mm max standard stroke for this bore, so it is a catalogue item, not made to order. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. FB flange mounting suits fixed machine frames, and the fitted -S magnet lets CMSE / DMSE switches report end positions.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design puts a 20 mm rod through both covers, so both sides see the rod-side area and the force 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, air filtered to 40 um, temperature -20 to +70 C.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body, saving 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 energy. Because this model carries the -S code, the magnet is fitted and CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted in the body slots. Note it does not hold position when air is lost - use a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load.
