Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X45
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X45 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 45mm 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 TACED40X45
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the TACED40X45 pushes a 40 mm bore through a 45 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers. Because each side works on the rod-side area, output is identical in either 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 take side load, so a gripper or press plate stays square without an external guide.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it drops into tight jigs, guards and gantries. In practice, plan on roughly 343 N (about 35 kgf) of usable force at 0.5 MPa, enough to lift a part of around 29 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke energy at both ends, the hard-anodized aluminium body runs on an S45C hard-chrome rod, and speeds span 30-500 mm/s at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).

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 TACED40X45 Is Used
Symmetric clamp fixtures
The through-rod gives 571.8 N on both faces at 0.5 MPa, so a machining fixture can clamp a workpiece from two sides with one cylinder and identical clamping force.
Pick-and-place grippers
Twin guide rods keep gripper jaws from rotating while the double rod closes and opens with equal 571.8 N force - useful on electronics assembly lines handling connector housings.
Short-stroke press stations
With 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa over a 45 mm stroke, the cylinder suits bench-top marking or staking heads on small brackets, where the compact body fits under a low guard.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X45 the Right 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) versions at 0.5 MPa - step down for lighter clamping, up for heavier pressing. The 45 mm stroke is well inside the standard range for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. Choose the FB flange, CA/CB/CR or FTC mount to suit the fixture, and remember the rod end is female M8x1.25 with a 1/8" PT port. If you need position sensing, order the -S variant: without it there is no magnet and no CMSE / DMSE switch can be read. Note the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay put.
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 TACED40X45 FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both sides, so output is equal either way: 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. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s and operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end and FB, CA, CB, CR or FTC mounting. Position sensing requires the optional -S magnet, which enables CMSE / DMSE switches; the standard TACED40X45 has no magnet fitted.
