Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X15
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X15 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 15mm 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 TACED40X15
A double acting, double rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the TACED40X15 pushes a 12 mm rod out of both covers, so the 40 mm bore delivers an identical 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa in each direction (800.5 N at 0.7 MPa). Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, keeping a gripper or plate square without an external guide. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it drops into tight jigs, guards and gantries. In practice, plan for roughly 343 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which is about 29 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a roller-burnished bore, the S45C rod is hard-chrome plated, and ports are 1/8". No magnet is fitted; order the optional -S code to enable CMSE / DMSE switches.

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 TACED40X15 Is Used
Push-pull ejection in machining fixtures
The through-rod gives 571.8 N on the eject stroke and the same 571.8 N on retract, so a short-stroke part kicker in a CNC fixture works identically both ways without reversing the port plumbing.
Centering gripper on a pick-and-place arm
Twin guide rods keep the jaws from twisting while handling 25 kg aluminum housings, and the 15 mm stroke suits a compact close-grip cycle inside a tight robot end-effector.
Compact press for electronics assembly
About 343 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa seats connectors or snaps small covers on a PCB line, and the short body fits where a full-length profile cylinder cannot.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X15 the Right Cylinder?
At 571.8 N per side, the 40 mm bore sits between the 32 mm (345.6 N) and 50 mm (881.2 N) double-rod units at 0.5 MPa, so step down for lighter clamping or up when the load grows. The 15 mm stroke is well inside the 200 mm standard range for this bore. 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 is available, and the optional -S magnet unlocks CMSE / DMSE position sensing.
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 TACED40X15 FAQ
Yes - the double rod means both sides see the rod-side area, so output is equal both ways: 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 116.6 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 40 mm with a 12 mm rod and 1/8" ports.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end and FB flange mounting available. Sensing is not included by default: order the optional -S magnet version to run CMSE or DMSE switches along the body slots; the standard TACED40X15 carries no magnet.
