The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED32X50 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 50mm 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, double-rod ISO 21287 compact cylinder, the TACED32X50 pushes a rod out of both covers so the 32 mm bore delivers 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa in each direction - rod-side area on both faces, no push-versus-pull gap. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a gripper or press plate stays square without an external guide rail.
The short hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it drops into tight jigs, guarding and gantries. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, and the S45C hard-chrome rod resists wear. For sizing: plan on roughly 207 N (about 21 kg) of real work at 0.5 MPa, and the rod-side force equates to lifting about 17 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-500 mm/s.

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.
Equal 345.6 N force from both rod ends lets one cylinder clamp from either face of a machining fixture, with the twin guide yoke keeping the clamp plate square.
A 50 mm stroke and identical push in both directions suits diverting cartons between conveyor lanes without a direction-dependent force change.
The non-rotating twin guide rods hold a two-jaw gripper aligned on small assembly cells, and the short body fits where a full-length profile cylinder will not.
At 345.6 N per side at 0.5 MPa, bore 32 suits clamping and transfer tasks in the 20-30 kg class. Step down to TACED25 (206.2 N) for lighter pick-and-place, or up to TACED40 (571.8 N) when the part weight grows. Note it does not hold position if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. Mount with the FB flange where a fixed base is needed, and order the -S code if you want the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches; without -S there is no magnet.
Quick checklist
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal in both directions: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, rising to a maximum of 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um.
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 and FB flange mounting available. Sensing requires the optional -S magnet code: with -S ordered, CMSE / DMSE switches track position along the body slots; the standard TACED32X50 has no magnet fitted.
