Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X30S
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X30S 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 TACED40X30S
The TACED40X30S is a double acting, double rod compact cylinder built to the ISO 21287 short-body format. A rod exits both covers, so the 40 mm bore delivers an equal 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa (800.5 N at 0.7 MPa) whether it extends or retracts - ideal for press-and-return tooling where push and pull must match. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a gripper or plate stays square without an external guide. The -S code on this model means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped straight onto the body slots.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome-plated 12 mm rod shrugs off wear in daily production, and the short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder - a real edge in tight jigs, guards and gantries. For sizing: at 0.5 MPa plan on roughly 343 N of usable work (about 60% of the rating), which is a vertical-lift equivalent of about 29 kg, or roughly 14 kg with a 2:1 margin. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed range 30-500 mm/s, and a fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends.

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 TACED40X30S Is Used
Pick-and-place gripper on a robot cell
The twin guide yoke keeps a gripper jaw square while the 571.8 N both-ways force clamps and releases with identical power, and the fitted magnet feeds CMSE switch signals to the PLC.
Reject pusher on a bottling line
A 30 mm stroke kicks off-spec bottles sideways at up to 500 mm/s; the equal retract force resets the paddle fast, and the short body fits the narrow guard space beside the conveyor.
Stamping mark station on an electronics assembly jig
The through-rod design lets the rear rod carry a position reference while the front rod presses a date code, with the TPU bumper softening each end of the 30 mm cycle.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X30S the Right Cylinder?
At 40 mm bore this 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), so pick 40 when 345 N is marginal but 881 N is oversized. The 30 mm stroke is well inside the standard range for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. Because a rod exits both covers, remember the rear rod needs clearance in your fixture. If the load must stay put when air is lost, this cylinder will drift - add a rod lock or pilot check valve. Mount with the FB flange, and since the -S magnet is fitted, order CMSE or DMSE switches for end-of-stroke sensing. Ports are 1/8" PT on both ends.
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 TACED40X30S FAQ
Yes - the double rod construction means both strokes see the rod-side area, so force is equal extending and retracting: 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 12 mm rod carries a female M8x1.25 thread.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures. This -S version carries the optional magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots for end-of-stroke detection. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and FB flange mounting is available.
