The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X35 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 35mm 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.
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the TACED40X35 delivers 571.8 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa (800.5 N at 0.7 MPa) because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The twin guide rods on the yoke stop tooling from rotating and carry side load, so a gripper or press plate stays square without an external guide. Its ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it drops into tight jigs and guarding where a full-length body cannot fit.
Practically, plan for roughly 343 N of real work at 0.5 MPa and expect about 29 kg of vertical lift at a 2:1 margin. The 40 mm bore takes a 12 mm hard-chrome-plated S45C rod with an M8x1.25 female thread, fed through 1/8" ports, and runs 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). A fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke energy at both covers, and the optional -S magnet enables 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.
| 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.

ACE-family variants: ACE (double acting), ASE / ATE (single acting push / pull), ACED (double rod), ACEJ (adjustable stroke), TACE / TACED (non-rotating twin-guide yoke). Mounting accessories: FA / FB flange, LB foot, CA / CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, FTC; plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G.
The 571.8 N both-ways force clamps and releases a machined housing with equal push, and the twin guide rods keep the clamp pad square to the datum.
A rod on each cover means one cylinder both ejects and retracts a tray on a packaging line, with 343 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa in each stroke.
Pressing bushings into brackets needs about 29 kg of controlled vertical force - the 40 mm bore delivers it in a body about half the length of an ISO 15552 profile 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) classes, so pick 32 mm for lighter clamping and 50 mm when the load climbs past about 570 N. The 35 mm stroke is well inside the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve when a load must be held. Order the -S code if CMSE / DMSE sensing is needed, and FB flange mounting if the yoke alone will not carry the fixture.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both strokes, so output is equal both ways: 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa, 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa, and up to 116.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end.
The hard-anodized aluminium ISO 21287 body is about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a 12 mm hard-chrome S45C rod, M8x1.25 female thread and 1/8" ports. Sensing requires the optional -S magnet code - without it no CMSE / DMSE switch can be mounted. FB flange mounting is available, and the maximum standard stroke for this bore is 200 mm.
