Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X5
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X5 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 5mm 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 TACED40X5
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the TACED40X5 pushes a 40 mm piston through a very short 5 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers. Because both sides of the piston see the rod-side area, output 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 a yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a small plate or gripper 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 makes this 5 mm stroke version ideal for tight ejection or clamping positions inside guarded assemblies. For sizing, treat roughly 343 N (about 35 kg) as the usable working force at 0.5 MPa, or plan on lifting about 29 kg vertically 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 of the stroke.

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 TACED40X5 Is Used
Short-stroke clamping on CNC fixtures
The 5 mm stroke clamps a machined aluminium blank against a hardened stop with 571.8 N of equal force on both the clamp and release side, and the twin guide yoke keeps the clamp pad square to the fixture.
Ejection pins on an injection mold
A rod exits both covers, so the same 40 mm bore can eject a small plastic cap on one side and reset a sensor flag on the other, all inside the compact body length of an ISO 21287 package.
Case kickers on a carton line
At 30-500 mm/s the short 5 mm throw nudges a misaligned carton back onto the conveyor guide, and the non-rotating yoke keeps the kicker plate from twisting under side contact.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X5 the Right Cylinder?
At 40 mm bore this unit sits above the 32 mm TACED (345.6 N at 0.5 MPa) and below the 50 mm version (881.2 N at 0.5 MPa), so pick it when a short 5 mm kick needs around 571.8 N in both directions. The 5 mm stroke is well inside the standard range for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. Rod end is a female M8x1.25 thread, port is 1/8" PT, and FB flange mounting is available. There is no magnet on this code; order the -S variant if you need CMSE or DMSE switch sensing.
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 TACED40X5 FAQ
Yes. Because a rod exits both covers, both sides work on the rod-side area, so output is equal each way: 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of about 116.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
The hard-anodized aluminium ISO 21287 body is about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with an S45C hard-chrome rod and a fixed TPU bumper at each end that only decelerates the piston. Sensing is not fitted on this code: order the optional -S magnet version to run CMSE or DMSE switches along the body slots.
