Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X100S
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X100S 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 TACED40X100S
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the TACED40X100S pushes and pulls with identical force because each side works on the rod-side area: 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling from rotating and take side load, so a gripper or press plate stays square without a separate guide. The magnet fitted under the -S code lets CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches report end positions directly on the body.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with a roller-burnished bore and an S45C hard-chrome plated 12 mm rod shrugs off wear in daily cycling, while the short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, letting this 40 mm bore drop into tight guards and gantry frames. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, the 100 mm stroke runs at 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um, and pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). As a planning figure, treat roughly 343 N (about 35 kg) as the usable vertical load at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating.

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 TACED40X100S Is Used
Push-pull press fixture
The equal 571.8 N force in both directions lets one cylinder clamp a housing on the advance and eject it on the return, with the twin guide yoke keeping the punch square over the 100 mm stroke.
Bidirectional conveyor stop
A packaging line gate that must divert cartons from either side benefits from identical rod-side force both ways, while the non-rotating twin rods hold the stop blade aligned at 30-500 mm/s cycling speeds.
Position-feedback test rig
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches on the body confirm end-of-stroke reach in an automated leak-test station, and the compact body fits the 100 mm envelope of the guard enclosure.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X100S the Right Cylinder?
At 571.8 N per direction, this bore sits between the 32 mm TACED (345.6 N) and the 50 mm TACED (881.2 N) at 0.5 MPa, so pick it when a 32 mm unit is under-rated but a 50 mm bore would waste space. The 100 mm stroke is within the standard range for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay put. FB flange mounting suits fixed machine frames, and the -S magnet in this model is what allows CMSE / DMSE switch mounting; order PT ports or the G thread variant to match your fittings.
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 TACED40X100S FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means a rod exits both covers, so both strokes work on the rod-side area. Output is 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa, equal in push and pull, with a maximum of 116.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight machine frames. The -S code means the magnet option is fitted on this model, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped to the body slots for end-position sensing. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs stroke-end shock, and the female M8x1.25 rod thread with 1/8" PT ports keeps plumbing simple.
