Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED32X5
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED32X5 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 5mm 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 TACED32X5
Double acting and built on a through-rod: the TACED32X5 pushes a rod out of BOTH covers of its ISO 21287 compact body, so the 32 mm bore delivers 345.6 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa (483.8 N at 0.7 MPa) because both sides work on the rod-side area. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, keeping a gripper or press plate square without an external guide. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight fixtures and guarded cells.
In practice, plan on roughly 207 N (about 21 kg of thrust) of usable work at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating, and for vertical lifts keep to about 17 kg with a 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a hard-chrome plated S45C rod, fixed TPU bumpers sit at both ends, and the 5 mm stroke suits short-throw clamping and ejection. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the port is 1/8". Note that the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must be held.

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 TACED32X5 Is Used
Short-throw stamp marking
The 5 mm stroke and 345.6 N per side at 0.5 MPa suit stamping batch codes or date marks onto aluminium housings, with the twin guide rods keeping the die square to the part.
Bidirectional gripper actuation
A rod exits both covers, so one cylinder can close a jaw on one side and open a counter jaw on the other - about 21 kg of usable clamp thrust at 0.5 MPa on each face.
Indexing pin ejection
Equal push and pull makes the TACED32X5 a clean fit for eject and retract locator pins in rotary indexing tables, where the non-rotating yoke stops the pin spinning.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED32X5 the Right Cylinder?
At 345.6 N per side (0.5 MPa) this 32 mm bore sits mid-range: step down to the 25 mm bore (206.2 N) for lighter pick-and-place, or up to the 40 mm bore (571.8 N) when the same twin-guide non-rotating action needs more muscle. The 5 mm stroke is a standard build, well inside the range made for bore 32. Rod end is a female M8x1.25 thread and the port is 1/8" PT; FB flange mounting is available. This unit has no magnet fitted - order the -S code instead if you need CMSE / DMSE switch positions.
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 TACED32X5 FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means force is equal both ways because both sides see the rod-side area of the 32 mm bore. Figures: 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. As a working rule, size the task to about 207 N (roughly 21 kg) at 0.5 MPa, and for vertical lifting keep to about 17 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with fixed TPU bumpers at both ends and FB flange as a mounting option. Sensing is not included on this model: the magnet is the optional -S code, so order TACED32X5S if you want CMSE or DMRE-style CMSE / DMSE switches to read position.
