Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED32X40
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED32X40 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 40mm 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.

About the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED32X40
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the TACED32X40 pushes a 32 mm bore through a 40 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers. Because both strokes work on the rod-side area, output is identical each way: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop tooling rotation and carry side load, so a gripper or press plate stays square without an external guide.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is roller-burnished for wear, with an S45C hard-chrome plated rod and threaded aluminium covers for easy service. Its short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and guarding. In practice, plan on roughly 207 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which is about 21 kg held vertically with a sensible margin. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s at 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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø32mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED32X40 Is Used
Symmetric jig clamping
Equal 345.6 N clamp and release force both ways lets one TACED32X40 load and unload fixture clamps in a machining cell without reversing pressure settings.
Pusher stations on packaging lines
The 40 mm stroke and non-rotating twin guide yoke keep a pusher plate square as it diverts cartons, with the compact body fitting under low guarding.
Two-way slide transfer
A rod at each cover drives a slide in both directions with identical 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, ideal for reciprocating parts transfer between conveyor lanes.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED32X40 the Right Cylinder?
At 345.6 N per direction, the 32 mm bore suits clamping and transfer tasks in the mid force band. Step down to TACED25X40 (206.2 N at 0.5 MPa) for lighter fixture work, or up to TACED40X40 (571.8 N) when the load needs more muscle. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for held loads. This version has no magnet; order the optional -S code (TACED32X40S) if you need CMSE or DMSE switch sensing. Rod end is female M8x1.25, ports are 1/8", and FB flange mounting is available.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Short stroke fits the compact body
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Add -S if you need the magnet for sensors
- ✓ Rod type (female / male B) & mount (FA/LB/CA)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Compact body: keep the stroke short and avoid side load on the rod.
- check Do not dismantle the threaded front/back covers.
- check Keep speed within the rated range; the TPU bumper absorbs stroke-end energy.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED32X40 FAQ
Force is equal in both directions because a rod exits each cover and both strokes use the rod-side area: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi), running 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends absorb end-of-stroke energy. This TACED32X40 ships without a magnet, so no switch can be read; order the optional -S magnet version to enable CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches along the body's magnet slots.
