The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED100X90S is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 90mm 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 and double rod, the TACED100X90S pushes a 100 mm bore through a 90 mm stroke with a rod leaving 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. Because both strokes act on the rod-side area, you can size clamping and pressing tooling once and trust the return stroke to deliver the same punch. Twin guide rods on the yoke keep the attached plate or gripper from rotating and take side load, so no external guide is needed to hold the tooling square.
This is an ISO 21287 compact build: the short hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters when the 90 mm stroke has to fit inside a guarded gantry or a tight press fixture. The S45C piston rod carries hard-chrome plating, a fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke shock at each cover, and the fitted -S magnet lets you mount CMSE / DMSE switches for end-position sensing. As a planning figure, the 3769.9 N output at 0.5 MPa translates to lifting about 192 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin, or plan on roughly 2262 N of real work.

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 equal 3769.9 N force in both directions lets one TACED100X90S clamp a steel weldment on the in-stroke and release the fixture on the out-stroke with identical grip, inside a press cell too short for a full-length profile cylinder.
With about 192 kg of vertical lift at a 2:1 margin on the 0.5 MPa rating, the twin guide yoke lowers a loaded pallet tray onto a conveyor stop without the plate twisting, then retracts with the same force.
A rod exits each cover of the 100 mm bore, so one cylinder pushes cartons off a belt in either direction at equal 3769.9 N force, and the fitted -S magnet with CMSE switches confirms each end position.
At 100 mm bore this is the top of the ACE compact range: 3769.9 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, against 2356.2 N for a bore 80 and 1458.1 N for a bore 63. If your load sits between those figures, stepping down to the 80 mm saves space and air; if you need more, the range ends here and a larger series is the next step. The 90 mm stroke is within the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a standard build. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1/4" ports, speed runs 30-500 mm/s, and the female M12x1.75 rod thread on both ends accepts standard rod attachments. Note that the piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a held load matters. FB flange, CA, CB, CR and FTC mountings are available, and this model already carries the optional -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches.
Quick checklist
Yes. Because a rod exits both covers, both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 100 mm bore: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa, 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa, equal both ways. Peak output at 1.0 MPa is 768.8 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, with a 20 mm hard-chrome rod and M12x1.75 female thread on each end.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so the 90 mm stroke fits shallow fixtures and guarded gantries. This TACED100X90S carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots for end-position feedback. A fixed TPU bumper at each cover absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and FB flange plus CA, CB, CR and FTC mountings are offered.
