The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED32X30 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 30mm 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 compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the TACED32X30 pushes a 12 mm rod out of BOTH covers, so the 32 mm bore delivers an identical 345.6 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa (483.8 N at 0.7 MPa). Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling rotating and take side load, keeping a gripper or plate square without an external guide. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs, guards and gantries.
In practice, plan on roughly 207 N of real work at 0.5 MPa (about 60% of the rating), which is a vertical lift of around 10 kg - halve that to about 5 kg for a comfortable 2:1 margin on lifting jobs. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a roller-burnished bore, the S45C rod is hard-chrome plated, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).

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 30 mm stroke and equal 345.6 N clamping from either side suit a milling fixture that needs the same clamp force whether the tooling approaches from the left or right, with the twin guide yoke holding the clamp pad square.
A rod exits both covers, so one cylinder can push cartons off a conveyor in either direction at up to 500 mm/s, and the compact body fits the narrow gap beside the belt frame.
With about 10 kg of vertical lift capability at 0.5 MPa and no rotation of the tooling, the yoke-driven rod carries a gripper for connector or bracket transfer between trays without an external guide.
At 345.6 N per side, the 32 mm bore sits between the 25 mm (206.2 N) and 40 mm (571.8 N) versions of this series - step down for lighter pick-and-place, step up when side loads grow. The 30 mm stroke is well inside the standard range for this bore, so it ships as a catalog item. This code has no S suffix, so no magnet is fitted and no CMSE / DMSE switch can be read; order the -S variant if position sensing is needed. Rod end is female M8x1.25, port thread is PT, and FB flange mounting is available. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put.
Quick checklist
Yes - because a rod exits both covers, both sides work on the rod-side area, so force is equal both ways: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction. At 1.0 MPa the bore reaches a maximum of 70.5 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 short body saves 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 shock. Switches are not possible on this code as ordered: without the optional -S magnet there is no magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches cannot be detected. Order TACED32X30S to enable them, and specify FB flange mounting or G ports if needed.
