The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED32X45 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 45mm 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.
The TACED32X45 is a double acting, double rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 32 mm bore with a 45 mm stroke and a rod leaving both covers, so the force is identical in each direction - 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling from rotating and carry side load, keeping a gripper or plate square without an external guide. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and guarding where a full-length body will not fit. At 0.5 MPa the usable working force is roughly 207 N, which corresponds to lifting about 17 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin - enough for small palletized parts or loaded fixtures. The hard-anodized aluminium body pairs with an S45C hard-chrome rod, and fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke energy at both ends.

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 345.6 N both-ways force clamps aluminium machined blanks in a machining-center fixture, and the twin guide rods keep the clamp plate square to the datum without a separate guide.
A 45 mm stroke diverts bottles or cartons across a conveyor lane; equal force on extend and retract means the push-off and return stroke behave identically at 0.5 MPa.
With about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, the short body fits inside a tight gantry frame while lifting roughly 17 kg parts vertically with margin.
For this 32 mm bore, 345.6 N per direction at 0.5 MPa suits clamping and transfer heads in the 20-30 kg class; step down to the 25 mm bore (206.2 N) for lighter tooling or up to the 40 mm bore (571.8 N) when the load grows. The 45 mm stroke sits well inside the standard range, so no made-to-order build is needed. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay put. This version has no magnet; order the TACED32X45S if you want CMSE / DMSE switch sensing, and specify FB flange mounting if the body needs bolting rather than the through-holes.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double rod means both sides see the rod-side area, so output is equal either way: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, with a peak of 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. In practice plan on about 207 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, roughly a 17 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed is 30-500 mm/s.
It is an ISO 21287 compact build whose short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end to soften the stroke ends. Sensing is not fitted on this model: the magnet is the optional -S code, so order TACED32X45S to run CMSE or DMSE switches on the body's magnet slots. FB flange mounting is available, and the rod end carries a female M8x1.25 thread with a 1/8" port.
