Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X50
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X50 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 50mm 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 TACED40X50
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the TACED40X50 pushes a 40 mm piston through a 50 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers. Because each side sees the rod-side area, output force 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 carry side load, so a gripper or 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 slots into tight jigs and guarded cells. In practice, plan on roughly 343 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, and expect it to lift about 29 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, the hard-anodized aluminium body runs on an S45C hard-chrome rod, 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.
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 TACED40X50 Is Used
Fixture clamping on a CNC pallet
The 50 mm stroke clamps a machined housing in a drilling fixture with 571.8 N in both directions, and the twin guide rods keep the clamp plate square to the part.
Bidirectional pusher on a packaging line
A rod at each cover lets one cylinder push cartons off a conveyor from either side at equal force, with the compact body fitting beside the guard rail.
Lift-and-lower stamping ejector
With about 29 kg of vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin, the TACED40X50 ejects stamped brackets from a die, guided by the non-rotating yoke.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X50 the Right Cylinder?
At 571.8 N per direction, bore 40 suits clamping and lift tasks in the 30-35 kg working class; step down to bore 32 (345.6 N) for lighter tooling or up to bore 50 (881.2 N) when the load grows. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). The piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. FB flange mounting is available, and the -S code adds the magnet needed for CMSE / DMSE position switches - without it there is no magnet.
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 TACED40X50 FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means a rod exits both covers and both sides work on the rod-side area, so force is equal in each direction: 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa, peaking at 116.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air, with proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and it mounts via the FB flange option. The rod end is female M8x1.25 and the air port is 1/8" (PT). A fixed TPU bumper decelerates the piston at each end but never holds a load - use a rod lock or pilot check valve for that. Position sensing needs the optional -S magnet ordered with CMSE / DMSE switches.
