Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED32X40S
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED32X40S 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 TACED32X40S
This is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 12 mm hard-chrome plated S45C rod exits BOTH covers, so the 32 mm bore delivers 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa (483.8 N at 0.7 MPa) in each direction with no push/pull imbalance. Twin guide rods on the yoke keep the tooling from rotating and carry side load, so a gripper or press plate stays square without an external guide. 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 slots.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it drops into tight jigs, guarding and gantries where a full-length body will not fit. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, and the two-way piston seal stores grease for long service. Practical sizing: plan on roughly 207 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, and the rod-side area lifts about 17 kg vertically with a 2:1 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.
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 TACED32X40S Is Used
Symmetric clamp fixtures on CNC fixtures
The through-rod pushes and pulls with identical 345.6 N force at 0.5 MPa, so a swing clamp or edge clamp on a machining fixture behaves the same in both directions without recalibrating pressure.
Non-rotating gripper plates on packaging lines
Twin guide rods stop the gripper plate spinning as the 40 mm stroke opens and closes, holding cartons square at speeds up to 500 mm/s without an external guide rail.
Position-verified ejection on assembly stations
With the fitted -S magnet, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm the 40 mm eject stroke is complete before the next station indexes, catching mis-fed parts early.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED32X40S the Right Cylinder?
At 345.6 N per direction (0.5 MPa) this bore sits between the 25 mm size (206.2 N) and the 40 mm size (571.8 N) - step down for lighter pick-and-place heads, step up for heavier press or clamp tooling. Remember it does not hold position when air is lost; add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. Mounting is FB flange, the rod end carries a female M8x1.25 thread, and the fitted -S magnet lets you add CMSE / DMSE switches for end-of-stroke or mid-stroke sensing.
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 TACED32X40S FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both sides, so force is equal in extend and retract: 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. For sizing, treat about 207 N as the practical working force at 0.5 MPa, which corresponds to lifting roughly 17 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose mounting length is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow gantries and guarded cells. The -S code means the position magnet is fitted on this model, allowing CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches in the body slots. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) filtered to 40 um, speed range 30-500 mm/s, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock.
