The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED32X100 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 100mm stroke, 1/8" 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 ISO 21287, the TACED32X100 pushes a 32 mm bore through a 100 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers. Because each side sees the rod-side area, output is identical in extend and retract: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, both ways. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling 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 rod runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, from -20 to +70 C, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. In practice, plan on roughly 207 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which is about 10 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and gantries. Note that it drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a load.

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 | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 484 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 70 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 through-rod lets the same 345.6 N push finished aluminium housings off a machining jig from either side, with the twin guide yoke keeping the ejector plate square over the full 100 mm stroke.
Equal force in extend and retract flips cartons between conveyor lanes at up to 500 mm/s, and the compact body fits the narrow gap under a guard where a full-length profile cylinder would not.
A dual-position assay plate press uses the identical 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa on both strokes, with the optional -S magnet feeding CMSE switch signals to the PLC at each end of travel.
At 345.6 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, the 32 mm bore suits clamping and transfer tasks in the 20-30 kg class; step down to TACED25X100 (206.2 N) for lighter tooling or up to TACED40X100 (571.8 N) for heavier press work. The 100 mm stroke is a standard length for this bore. Mounting is FB flange; the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches, but without -S no magnet is fitted and no sensor can be read.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both sides, so force is equal extending and retracting: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s. For sizing, treat about 207 N as the usable working force at 0.5 MPa, roughly 10 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and FB flange mounting is available. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy; it is not adjustable and never locks a load, so use a rod lock or pilot check valve where position must be held. Position sensing requires the optional -S magnet - this TACED32X100 (no S code) has no magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches cannot be mounted unless you order the -S version. Rod end is female M8x1.25; air port is 1/8" PT.
