Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X40S
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X40S is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 40mm 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 TACED40X40S
Double acting and double rod, the TACED40X40S pushes a 40 mm bore through a 40 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers, so the force is identical in each direction: 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 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. The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod runs at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs, guards and gantries. Because a rod exits each cover, plan for about 343 N of real work at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating, which means the rod can lift about 29 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches for position feedback.

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 TACED40X40S Is Used
Pick-and-place gripper plate
The through-rod gives 571.8 N on both the grip and release stroke, and the twin guide rods keep the gripper jaws from twisting on a packaging machine arm.
Press-fit station in a tight cell
With the body about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, the 40 mm stroke fits inside a guarded jig where a full-length cylinder will not.
Indexed fixture with position check
The fitted -S magnet drives CMSE / DMSE switches so the PLC confirms the 40 mm advance before the next assembly step starts.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X40S the Right Cylinder?
At 571.8 N per side, bore 40 suits clamping and lifting in the 30-60 kg class; step down to bore 32 (345.6 N) for lighter tooling or up to bore 50 (881.2 N) when the load grows. Air is lost means the piston drifts, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. The female M8x1.25 rod thread and 1/8" PT ports are fixed on this yoke, and the -S magnet already fitted lets you bolt on CMSE / DMSE switches without reordering.
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 TACED40X40S FAQ
Yes. Because a rod exits both covers, both strokes see the rod-side area: 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa, equal in each direction. The maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 116.6 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, at speeds of 30-500 mm/s.
The compact body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow gantries and jigs. Fixed TPU bumpers at both ends soften the end of stroke, and FB flange, CA, CB, CR or FTC mounts are available. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be added for end-position sensing.
