The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED100X80 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 80mm 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 the ISO 21287 short-body format, the TACED100X80 pushes a 100 mm bore through an 80 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers. Because both sides see the rod-side area, output is 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa in each direction - no push-versus-pull mismatch to design around. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a press plate or gripper stays square without an external guide.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated 20 mm rod shrugs off wear in high-cycle work, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is how a 100 mm bore fits inside tight guards and gantry frames. For sizing, treat roughly 2260 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa rating) as the usable working force; halving the lift capacity gives a 2:1 margin, so it lifts about 192 kg vertically.

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 twin guide yoke keeps an 80 mm-stroke press plate square over a 100 mm bore, delivering 3769.9 N both ways at 0.5 MPa for forming or staking aluminium housings.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so this 100 mm bore clamps castings inside cramped machine guards.
Equal 5277.9 N force at 0.7 MPa in extend and retract centers or shifts fork carriers, with the guide rods resisting side load from off-center pallets.
At 3769.9 N per side at 0.5 MPa this is the top of the TACED range; step down to the TACED63 for 1458.1 N or stay here for heavy clamping and pressing. Note it does not hold position if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. The 1/4" port suits 100 mm bores, FB flange mounting is available, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches; without -S no magnet is fitted.
Quick checklist
The double-rod design gives equal output both ways because both sides see the rod-side area: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa, 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa, and up to 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, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome plated 20 mm rod, threaded aluminium covers and a 1/4" port. The optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches; this model without -S carries no magnet, so no sensor can be mounted. Max standard stroke for bore 100 is 300 mm, so 80 mm is standard.
