Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X30
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X30 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 30mm 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 TACED40X30
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the TACED40X30 pushes a 40 mm bore through a 30 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers. Because both chambers see the rod-side area, output is 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction - never more one way than the other. 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 with an S45C hard-chrome plated rod runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. In practice, plan on roughly 343 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which is about 29 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and guarding. The magnet is the optional -S code; this model has none fitted.

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 TACED40X30 Is Used
Symmetric press-fit station
The equal 571.8 N output both ways suits a jig that presses a bushing in on the advance and ejects the finished part on the return, with the twin guide rods keeping the punch square.
Pick-and-place gripper actuator
A rod exiting both covers lets one cylinder open and close a two-jaw gripper with identical 571.8 N clamping either way, and the non-rotating yoke holds jaw alignment over thousands of cycles.
Conveyor reject pusher
With about 343 N of practical work at 0.5 MPa, the 30 mm stroke is enough to kick an off-spec carton off a packaging line, and the compact body fits under the side guard where a full-length cylinder will not.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X30 the Right Cylinder?
At 571.8 N per direction, the 40 mm bore sits between the 32 mm (345.6 N) and 50 mm (881.2 N) classes - pick 32 mm for lighter clamping, 50 mm when the load creeps up. The 30 mm stroke is a standard length 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. Mount with the FB flange, and order the -S code if CMSE / DMSE switches will be needed later - without it there is no magnet to trigger them.
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 TACED40X30 FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means a rod exits both covers and both strokes act on 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 range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed is 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke impact. Sensors are possible only on the -S version: ordering TACED40X30S adds the optional magnet so CMSE or DMSE switches can be clipped to the body. This model, without the S, carries no magnet.
