The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED32X15S is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 15mm 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.
Double acting and double rod, the AirTAC TACED32X15S pushes a rod out of BOTH covers, so its 32 mm bore delivers the same 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa in each direction - there is no weaker pull side. 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 short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it drops into tight fixtures a full-length cylinder cannot.
The -S code on this model means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clamped straight onto the body for end-of-stroke signals. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs the stop, the hard-anodized aluminium body runs on a hard-chrome plated S45C rod, and the 15 mm stroke suits short clamp-and-release moves at 30-500 mm/s. As a working figure, plan on roughly 207 N of real work at 0.5 MPa - about 21 kg held vertically with 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.
| 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 15 mm stroke clamps a machined blank against a stop in a tight pallet pocket, with equal 345.6 N release force so the part never sticks on retract.
Twin guide rods keep parallel jaws from twisting as they close on a 20 kg housing, and the fitted magnet feeds a CMSE switch signal to the PLC at each end.
A short press-in of a connector or bearing needs only 15 mm of travel; the compact body fits under a low gantry where a profile cylinder would not.
At 345.6 N per direction (483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, equal both ways), the 32 mm bore sits between the 25 mm bore at 206.2 N and the 40 mm bore at 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa - step down for light clamping, up for heavier pressing. The 15 mm stroke is a standard build, no made-to-order length needed. This model already carries the optional -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches, and the female M8x1.25 rod thread plus FB flange option covers most fixture mounts. Note it does not hold position if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design puts a rod through both covers, so both sides work on the rod-side area. At 0.5 MPa you get 345.6 N each way, at 0.7 MPa 483.8 N each way, and the maximum at 1.0 MPa is 70.5 kgf. Operating range 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.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into cramped jigs and guards. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs the end-of-stroke impact; it is not adjustable and it never locks the load. This -S model carries the magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches mount on the body for position feedback.
