Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X5S
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X5S 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 TACED40X5S
The TACED40X5S is a double acting, double rod compact cylinder built to the ISO 21287 short-body format, with a 40 mm bore and a very short 5 mm stroke. Because a rod exits both covers, the output force is EQUAL in each direction - 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa - since both chambers work on the rod-side area. 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 magnet fitted with the -S code lets CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches report end positions directly on the body.
In practice the 571.8 N rating at 0.5 MPa translates to about 343 N of usable working force, which lifts roughly 35 kg vertically with margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body with a roller-burnished bore and the S45C hard-chrome plated 12 mm rod resist wear in daily cycling, while fixed TPU bumpers at both ends absorb end-of-stroke shock. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures where a full-length body will not fit.

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 TACED40X5S Is Used
Short-stroke clamping on CNC fixtures
The 5 mm stroke and 571.8 N of equal force in both directions make this a natural clamp-release actuator on machining fixtures, where the twin guide rods keep the clamp pad square to the part.
Eject or kick-off on assembly stations
A 5 mm kick-off move with about 343 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa nudges parts off a nest or into a chute, and the -S magnet signals the fired position to the PLC via a DMSE switch.
Case stopper on packaging lines
Mounted on a conveyor guard bracket, the compact body - about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder - extends a stop blade 5 mm into the carton path, with the twin yoke resisting side hits.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X5S the Right Cylinder?
At 40 mm bore this model sits in the mid force band: step down to the 32 mm TACED for 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, or up to the 50 mm bore for 881.2 N. The 5 mm stroke suits short clamp, eject or index moves; bore 40 accepts standard strokes up to 200 mm if a longer version is ever needed. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 30-500 mm/s, and the port is 1/8". Remember the piston drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if a load must be held. FB flange mounting is available, and the female M8x1.25 rod thread on the yoke takes standard tooling; this model already carries the -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switch mounting.
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 TACED40X5S FAQ
Yes - the double rod design means a rod exits both covers, so force is EQUAL both ways: 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa (rod-side area on each side). At 1.0 MPa the maximum output reaches about 116.6 kgf. A practical working figure is roughly 343 N, or about 35 kg of vertical lift with a margin. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow guards and tight jigs. Fixed TPU bumpers at both ends absorb end-of-stroke shock without adjustment. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped onto the body slots for position feedback. FB flange mounting and the 1/8" port keep plumbing simple; note it does not hold position if air is lost.
