Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X45S
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X45S 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 TACED40X45S
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the TACED40X45S pushes and pulls with identical force because each side works on the same rod-side area: 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the load rotating and carry side load, so a gripper or fixture plate stays square without an external guide. The 40 mm bore tops out at 116.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, letting this unit slot into tight guards and gantries. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod, fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke shock at both ends, and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches for position feedback. As a rule of thumb, plan on roughly 343 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 29 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

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 TACED40X45S Is Used
Fixture clamping on CNC pallets
The 45 mm stroke closes a clamp arm on machined parts, and the twin guide yoke keeps the clamp pad square to the fixture without extra guiding hardware.
Pusher on packaging lines
Equal 571.8 N force in both directions at 0.5 MPa lets one cylinder push cartons off a conveyor and retract with the same authority, at line speeds up to 500 mm/s.
Pick-and-place gripper actuation
The non-rotating through-rod drives a gripper jaw that opens and closes with matched force, while the fitted -S magnet feeds CMSE or DMSE switch signals to the PLC for jaw-position confirmation.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X45S the Right Cylinder?
At 45 mm stroke this sits in the mid-range of the 40 mm bore's standard span, so no made-to-order length is needed. If 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa is more than the job demands, the 32 mm bore (345.6 N) saves space; if the load is heavier, step up to the 50 mm bore at 881.2 N. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. FB flange mounting suits fixed-face installations, and this model already carries the optional -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switching.
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 TACED40X45S FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is identical in both directions: 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa, rising to a maximum of 116.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed range 30-500 mm/s, and air filtered to 40 um.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so the 45 mm stroke unit fits shallow pockets where a longer body will not. The S in the model code means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped onto the body slots for end-of-stroke or mid-stroke detection. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and the female M8x1.25 rod thread with 1/8" PT ports keeps tooling and plumbing simple.
