The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED32X80 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 80mm 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 TACED32X80 pushes and pulls with identical force because a rod leaves both covers and every stroke works on the rod-side area. At 0.5 MPa that is 345.6 N in each direction, rising to 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, with a peak of 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 press plate stays square without an external guide.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is roughly 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why this 80 mm stroke version slots into tight jigs, guards and gantries. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, and the S45C hard-chrome rod with M8x1.25 female thread takes standard tooling. As a working rule, plan on about 207 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 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.
| 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 equal 345.6 N force in both directions lets one TACED32X80 clamp and release a machining fixture with identical grip, and the 80 mm stroke clears the part for loading.
Twin guide rods keep a pick-and-place gripper jaw from rotating on a small electronics assembly cell, with the compact body fitting inside the machine guard.
A 17 kg vertical press load at a 2:1 margin suits applying labels or stamps on a bottling line, with the TPU bumper softening each end of the fast 30-500 mm/s cycle.
At bore 32 the TACED32X80 delivers 345.6 N both ways at 0.5 MPa. If your load needs less, the TACED25X80 gives 206.2 N at the same pressure; if you need more, step up to the TACED40X80 for 571.8 N. Strokes to 100 mm are standard for this bore range, so 80 mm sits comfortably inside the catalogue. Mount with the FB flange where a fixed face is needed, and remember the cylinder does not hold position when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. Order the -S code if you want the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches; without it no sensor can be fitted.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double rod design means a rod exits both covers, so both strokes act on the rod-side area. Output is 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, equal push and pull, with a maximum of 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the bore is 32 mm with an 80 mm stroke and 1/8" ports.
The ISO 21287 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. Sensing is available only if you order the optional -S magnet version, which accepts CMSE / DMSE switches; the plain TACED32X80 has no magnet. The rod end is M8x1.25 female thread, mounting is FB flange, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy.
