Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X15S
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X15S 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 TACED40X15S
Double acting and double rod, the AirTAC TACED40X15S pushes a rod out of both covers of its ISO 21287 compact body, so the 40 mm bore delivers 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa (800.5 N at 0.7 MPa) in each direction - the rod-side area is identical on both faces. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, keeping a gripper or plate square without any external guide. The 15 mm stroke suits short clamp-and-release moves.
The short hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it drops into tight jigs, guards and gantries. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, the S45C rod is hard-chrome plated, and because this model carries the optional -S magnet, CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted for end-position sensing. Plan on roughly 343 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa (about 60% of rating), 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 TACED40X15S Is Used
CNC fixture clamping
The 571.8 N clamping force (identical on extend and retract) clamps and releases aluminium housings in a machining fixture, with the twin guide rods keeping the clamp pad square to the part.
Packaging line reject pusher
A 15 mm stroke is ideal for kicking underweight cartons off a conveyor; the compact body fits under the guard rail where a full-length cylinder cannot, and the -S magnet feeds CMSE switches for PLC confirmation.
Lab sample press
About 29 kg of vertical lift capacity with a 2:1 margin suits pressing sample trays in test rigs, and the non-rotating yoke stops the plate twisting during the short 15 mm travel.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X15S the Right Cylinder?
At 571.8 N per side, this 40 mm size sits between the 32 mm TACED (345.6 N at 0.5 MPa) and the 50 mm TACED (881.2 N at 0.5 MPa) - step down for lighter clamps, up for heavier presses. Note it does not hold position if air is lost; add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. The female M8x1.25 rod thread and 1/8" PT ports are fixed on this variant, and the -S magnet is already fitted for CMSE / DMSE switch mounting; FB flange, CA, CB, CR and FTC mounts are available.
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 TACED40X15S FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both faces, 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 range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the bore 40 port is 1/8" (PT).
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits tight machinery envelopes, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. The S means this unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped into the body slots for position sensing.
