The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED32X5S 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.
Double acting and double rod, the AirTAC TACED32X5S pushes a rod out of BOTH covers, so the 32 mm bore delivers an identical 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, so a small gripper or stamping plate stays square with no external guide. The 5 mm stroke suits short clamp-and-confirm moves at 30-500 mm/s.
The body is a hard-anodized aluminium ISO 21287 compact build, about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it drops into tight jigs and guarding where a full-length body cannot. The S12 hard-chrome plated rod runs in a roller-burnished bore, a fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke shock at both ends, and the -S code on this model means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be mounted for end-position sensing. Run it on air filtered to 40 um at 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.
| 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 5 mm stroke and fitted magnet let a CMSE switch confirm the clamp on a CNC fixture closed, with 345.6 N holding force delivered equally from either side of the double-rod body.
Twin guide rods keep the gripper jaws from rotating on an electronics assembly line, gripping connectors up to about 21 kg equivalent load without an external guide.
A 5 mm punch-and-mark move on a nameplate or date-code stamping station, where the compact body fits inside the press head and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa is available both ways.
At 345.6 N per side at 0.5 MPa, plan on roughly 207 N of usable push - about 21 kg of real work - rather than the full rating. For a vertical move, the rod-side force equals about 35 kgf, so halving for a 2:1 margin lets it lift around 17 kg safely; go to TACED40 (571.8 N at 0.5 MPa) if the part is heavier, or down to TACED25 (206.2 N) for lighter pick-and-place. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay held. Mounting is FB flange, the rod end is female M8x1.25, and the fitted -S magnet pairs with CMSE / DMSE switches.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both sides, so output is equal both ways: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 32 mm bore takes a 1/8" port with a female M8x1.25 rod thread.
The ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so the cylinder fits inside narrow guarding and jig plates. The TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy without adjustment, FB flange mounting is available, and because this model carries the optional -S magnet, CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clamped anywhere along the body slots for position feedback.
