Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X60
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X60 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 60mm 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 TACED40X60
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the TACED40X60 pushes a 40 mm bore through a 60 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers. Because both chambers see the rod-side area, output is identical in each 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 press plate stays square without an external guide.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated 12 mm rod runs at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight jigs and guarded stations. In practice, plan on roughly 343 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, enough to lift about 29 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The magnet is optional: order the -S code to enable CMSE / DMSE switches; this model without -S has no magnet.

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 TACED40X60 Is Used
Symmetric clamp fixtures
The 60 mm stroke closes a machining fixture from both sides with 571.8 N each way, and the twin guide yoke keeps the clamp pads square to the part.
Push-pull tray transfer
On a packaging line indexing trays between lanes, equal 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa in both directions means one cylinder handles load and return without a second unit.
Small press stamping
A bench-top marking or staking head uses the 40 mm bore for about 343 N of working force at 0.5 MPa, with the non-rotating rods holding the tool from spinning.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X60 the Right Cylinder?
At 571.8 N per side, bore 40 sits between bore 32 (345.6 N at 0.5 MPa) and bore 50 (881.2 N at 0.5 MPa), so pick 40 when 32 is marginal and 50 is oversized. The piston drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. Mounting is FB flange; the rod end is female M8x1.25 and the port is 1/8" PT. If you need position feedback, order the -S variant so CMSE / DMSE switches can be fitted.
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 TACED40X60 FAQ
Force is equal in both directions because a rod exits both covers and both sides work on the rod-side area: 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa, 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa, and up to 116.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits guarded stations where a full-length cylinder will not. Position sensing needs the optional -S magnet: order TACED40X60S and CMSE / DMSE switches can ride the body slots; without -S no magnet is fitted.
