Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X100
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X100 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 100mm 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 TACED40X100
Double acting with a through rod that exits both covers, the TACED40X100 delivers 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, because both faces work on the same rod-side area. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling turning and carry side load, so a gripper or press plate stays square with no external guide. The 40 mm bore runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and travels 30-500 mm/s.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into guarded assemblies and gantry clamp stations where a full-length body will not fit. A hard-anodized aluminium body carries S45C hard-chrome plated rods, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. For a real-world figure, plan on roughly 343 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 29 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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø40mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 572 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 800 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 117 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 TACED40X100 Is Used
Symmetric clamp fixtures
A machining fixture that needs the same 571.8 N clamping force from either side of the part, with the twin guide yoke keeping the clamp pads square to the datum.
Pallet-stacker gate arms
Extending and retracting guide arms on a warehouse vehicle, where the 100 mm stroke and equal both-way force keep arm speed identical in each direction.
Bench-top crimp press
A small electronics crimping station using the roughly 343 N usable force at 0.5 MPa, sized to stay inside a compact guard thanks to the short body.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X100 the Right Cylinder?
At 571.8 N per direction, bore 40 sits between the 32 mm size (345.6 N) and the 50 mm size (881.2 N) at 0.5 MPa, so pick it when a 32 mm unit is marginal but a 50 mm body is too bulky. The 100 mm stroke is within the standard range for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. This version has no magnet fitted; order the -S code if you need CMSE or DMSE switch positions. Mounting is the FB flange, and the rod end is female M8x1.25. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put.
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 TACED40X100 FAQ
Yes. Because a rod exits both covers, both strokes work on the rod-side area: 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa, equal in extend and retract. At 1.0 MPa the maximum output is 116.6 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and speed 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 body is about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits tight guards and fixtures. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy; it is not adjustable and it never holds a load, so use a rod lock or pilot check valve where position must be kept. The FB flange is the mounting option, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches.
