The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X80 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 80mm 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.
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the TACED40X80 pushes a 40 mm bore through an 80 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers. Because both chambers see the rod-side area, output is 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction - no push/pull mismatch to design around. 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 rod runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, from -20 to +70 C. In practice, plan on roughly 343 N (about 35 kg of force) of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts around 29 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock.

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.
| 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.

ACE-family variants: ACE (double acting), ASE / ATE (single acting push / pull), ACED (double rod), ACEJ (adjustable stroke), TACE / TACED (non-rotating twin-guide yoke). Mounting accessories: FA / FB flange, LB foot, CA / CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, FTC; plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G.
The equal 571.8 N push and pull lets one TACED40X80 seat a bearing bush then withdraw the arbor at the same force, with the twin guide yoke keeping the punch square over the 80 mm stroke.
A rod at both covers drives a conveyor pusher from either end of its travel at 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa, so the same cylinder can divert cartons left or right without reversing plumbing logic.
Twin guide rods carry the side load of a two-jaw gripper on a robotic pick cell, holding plastic housings steady at about 35 kg of usable clamping force while the compact body fits the tight end-of-arm envelope.
At 571.8 N per direction, the 40 mm bore sits between the 32 mm (345.6 N) and 50 mm (881.2 N) classes - step down for lighter pick-and-place, up for heavier clamping. The 80 mm stroke is within the standard range for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. This version has no magnet: order the -S code if you need CMSE or DMSE switch positioning. Mounting is FB flange, the rod end is female M8x1.25, and the port is 1/8" PT. Note the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must be held.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both sides, so output is 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa in each direction. At 1.0 MPa the maximum is 116.6 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 30-500 mm/s speed.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end that decelerates the piston at end of stroke - it is not adjustable and never holds a load. Position sensing needs the optional -S magnet code; this unit has no magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches only work on the -S version.
