The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED32X50S 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 compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the TACED32X50S pushes a 32 mm bore through a 50 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers. Because each side works on the rod-side area, output is identical in extend and retract: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling rotating and take 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 or DMSE reed and solid-state switches mount directly on the body slots.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with a roller-burnished bore pairs with an S45C hard-chrome plated rod, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it drops into tight jigs and guarded cells. Running on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), it cycles at 30-500 mm/s from -20 to +70 C. As a working rule, plan on roughly 207 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 21 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.
| 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 twin guide yoke keeps a small gripper jaw from twisting while the through-rod gives 345.6 N of closing force in either direction, ideal for transferring machined aluminium housings between CNC stations.
With 483.8 N available both ways at 0.7 MPa, the 50 mm stroke is enough to stake terminals or seat bearings in electronics assembly, and the non-rotating guides keep the punch aligned.
The fitted magnet plus CMSE / DMSE switches gives mid-stroke confirmation for a carton pusher, while the short ISO 21287 body fits the narrow space beside the conveyor frame.
At 345.6 N per direction, this 32 mm size sits between the 25 mm bore (206.2 N) and the 40 mm bore (571.8 N) at 0.5 MPa, so step up if your tooling mass grows. The 50 mm stroke is well inside the 200 mm standard range for this bore. The female M8x1.25 rod thread on both ends suits threaded tooling plates, and FB flange mounting is available if you need a bolted face. Remember it will drift if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. The fitted -S magnet lets you add CMSE / DMSE switches for end-of-stroke or mid-stroke signalling.
Quick checklist
Yes. Because a rod exits both covers, both strokes work on the rod-side area, so force is equal extend and retract: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa. At the 1.0 MPa maximum the cylinder reaches about 70.5 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof rating, and speed range is 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it suits tight jigs and guarded machines. The -S means the optional magnet is fitted on this model, allowing CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches in the body slots. Construction is a hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome rod, 1/8" ports, female M8x1.25 threads on both rod ends, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end.
