Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X60S
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X60S 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 TACED40X60S
Double acting and double rod, the TACED40X60S 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 in each direction (800.5 N at 0.7 MPa). Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, keeping a gripper or plate square without an external guide. The hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs, guards and gantries.
Practical sizing: treat roughly 343 N (about 35 kgf) as the usable working force at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating, and expect around 29 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The S code on this model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted anywhere along the body slots. A fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke energy, the S45C hard-chrome rod is 12 mm, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).

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 TACED40X60S Is Used
Rotary-index drill fixture clamping
The equal 571.8 N clamp and release force lets one fixture grip a steel bracket on the index table with the same pressure every cycle, and the twin guide yoke keeps the clamp pad square to the part.
Pick-and-place gripper actuation
A rod exits both covers, so one cylinder can close a gripper on the push stroke and open it on the return with identical force - useful for handling aluminium housings on an electronics assembly line.
Conveyor side-guide positioning
The 60 mm stroke and non-rotating twin rods shift guide rails across a packaging conveyor without the rails twisting, and the -S magnet with a DMSE switch confirms the rail is fully retracted before product passes.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X60S the Right Cylinder?
At 571.8 N per side, this 40 mm unit sits between the 32 mm bore (345.6 N both ways) and the 50 mm bore (881.2 N both ways) at 0.5 MPa. Pick the 32 mm if your clamp force is under 350 N; step up to 50 mm for loads past 600 N. The 60 mm stroke is well inside the standard range for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. Rod end is a female M8x1.25 thread and the port is 1/8" PT; FB flange, CA, CB, CR and FTC mountings are available, and the fitted -S magnet lets you add CMSE / DMSE switches for end-position sensing. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check valve.
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 TACED40X60S FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means both sides see 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 116.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 12 mm hard-chrome rod carries a female M8x1.25 thread.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it fits shallow machine frames. This S-coded model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE reed or DMSE solid-state switches clip into the body slots for end-of-stroke or mid-stroke detection. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and FB flange or CA, CB, CR, FTC mountings can be specified.
