The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED32X60S is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 60mm 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 with a rod leaving both covers, the TACED32X60S pushes and pulls with identical force: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, because both chambers work on the rod-side area. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling twisting and take side load, so a gripper or press plate stays square without an external guide. The 60 mm stroke sits well inside the 200 mm standard range for this 32 mm bore, and the 1/8" port feeds each end.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight jigs, guards and gantries. A hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod, and fixed TPU bumpers absorb the end-of-stroke shock at both covers. Because the -S code is on this model, the magnet is fitted and CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped onto the body slots. A practical sizing check: at 0.5 MPa plan on roughly 207 N of real work, which lifts about 17 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.

|---|---|
| 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.

A small marking or embossing head on a fixture bench needs the same 345.6 N on the downstroke and the return; the double rod delivers both without a larger bore, and the twin guide yoke keeps the tool square over the 60 mm travel.
On an electronics assembly cell, a gripper fed by this cylinder closes and opens with equal grip force at 0.5-0.7 MPa, while the non-rotating guide rods hold part orientation; the fitted magnet and a CMSE switch confirm open and closed positions.
Kicking cartons sideways off a packaging line needs a fast, balanced stroke; 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa both ways within a body about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder fits the narrow space beside the belt.
At 345.6 N per direction this bore covers light clamping and transfer heads; step down to a 25 mm bore (206.2 N) for gentler loads or up to 40 mm (571.8 N) when the job grows. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay put. FB flange mounting suits plate-fixed installations, and the fitted -S magnet means CMSE / DMSE position switches work straight away.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design exposes both chambers to the rod-side area, so output is equal either way: 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, temperature -20 to +70 C on air filtered to 40 um.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow gantries and guarded zones. Fixed TPU bumpers at both ends absorb end-of-stroke impact. Because this model carries the optional -S magnet, CMSE or DMSE switches mount in the body slots for end-of-stroke or mid-stroke sensing; FB flange mounting is available for rigid plate fixing.
