Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED32X55S
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED32X55S is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 55mm 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 TACED32X55S
Double acting with a double rod, the TACED32X55S pushes a 32 mm bore through a 55 mm stroke and delivers 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa in BOTH directions, because a rod exits each cover so both sides work on the rod-side area. At 0.7 MPa the same cylinder reaches 483.8 N either way, peaking at 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a gripper or plate stays square without an external guide.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs, guards and gantries. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a hard-chrome plated S45C rod, fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke shock at both ends, and the -S code on this model means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted directly on the body slots. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).

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 TACED32X55S Is Used
Push-pull fixture clamping
The equal 345.6 N force in both directions lets one TACED32X55S clamp and release a machining fixture with identical grip, with the twin guide yoke keeping the clamp pad square.
Bi-directional part diverting
On a packaging line, the through-rod diverts cartons left or right with the same 345.6 N stroke, and the fitted -S magnet feeds CMSE or DMSE switches for position feedback.
Synchronized slide actuation
A 55 mm double rod drives a sliding gate in an electronics assembly station from either cover, staying non-rotating at 30-500 mm/s inside a compact guard.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED32X55S the Right Cylinder?
At 345.6 N per direction, plan on roughly 207 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which is about 21 kg of real work; vertically that is about 35 kgf, or around 17 kg with a 2:1 margin. If your load is lighter, the TACED25X55S gives 206.2 N both ways; if you need more, step up to the TACED40X55S at 571.8 N. Air is lost, the piston drifts - it does not hold position, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. FB flange mounting is available, and the fitted -S magnet lets you add CMSE / DMSE switches for end-of-stroke detection.
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 TACED32X55S FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means force is EQUAL both ways, since both sides work on the rod-side area. At 0.5 MPa you get 345.6 N, at 0.7 MPa you get 483.8 N, and the maximum is 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi), running at 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits where a full-length cylinder will not. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount in the body slots for end-of-stroke detection. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and FB flange mounting is available. For exact outline dimensions, confirm from datasheet.
