Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X50S
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X50S 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 TACED40X50S
Double acting and double rod, the AirTAC TACED40X50S pushes a rod out of BOTH covers of its ISO 21287 compact body, so the 40 mm bore delivers an identical 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa (800.5 N at 0.7 MPa) in each direction - the rod-side area governs both strokes. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a gripper or press plate stays square without an external guide. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, letting it slot into tight jigs and guarding.
The S code on this model means the optional magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped onto the body slots for end-position sensing. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, the hard-anodized aluminium body runs on a 12 mm S45C hard-chrome rod, and speed spans 30-500 mm/s. As a buyer rule of thumb, plan on roughly 343 N of real work at 0.5 MPa (about 0.6 of the rating), which lifts around 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 TACED40X50S Is Used
Symmetric clamp fixtures
A CNC machining cell clamps aluminum housings from both sides with paired TACED40X50S units, each throwing 571.8 N inward at 0.5 MPa - equal force means identical clamp pressure on both jaws.
Non-rotating gripper arm
A packaging line picks tray lids with a yoke-mounted gripper driven by the twin guide rods; the 12 mm rod stays rotation-free so the suction cup plate lands square every cycle at 30-500 mm/s.
Compact press station
An electronics assembly bench uses the short ISO 21287 body - about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder - to press connector pins inside a guarded fixture where a full-length body cannot fit.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X50S the Right Cylinder?
At 571.8 N per direction, bore 40 sits between the 25 mm frame (206.2 N) and the 50 mm frame (881.2 N) - step down for lighter pick-and-place heads, up for heavier clamping. The 50 mm stroke is well inside the standard range for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay put. FB flange mounting and the fitted -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches round out the spec; the rod end carries a female M8x1.25 thread and the port is 1/8" PT.
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 TACED40X50S FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design exits a rod from both covers, so both strokes act on the rod-side area. Figures: 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa, 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa, equal push and pull both ways, with a maximum of 116.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa. For sizing, treat about 343 N (roughly 29 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin) as the practical working force at 0.5 MPa.
The TACED40X50S uses the ISO 21287 compact format: a hard-anodized aluminium body with threaded aluminium covers, roughly half the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end to absorb end-of-stroke energy. Because this model carries the S code, the magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots for position feedback.
