Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X90S
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X90S is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 90mm 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 TACED40X90S
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the TACED40X90S pushes a 12 mm rod out of both covers 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. 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 pairs with an S45C hard-chrome plated rod, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy.
Because the short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, this 90 mm stroke unit slots into tight guarding and gantry frames where a full-length cylinder will not reach. For sizing, treat roughly 343 N (about 0.6 of the rated force) as the practical working force at 0.5 MPa, which corresponds to lifting about 29 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The fitted -S magnet allows CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches anywhere along the body slots, and speed spans 30-500 mm/s over 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 TACED40X90S Is Used
Pick-and-place gantry clamp
The equal 571.8 N grip and release force clamps aluminium extrusions in a machining cell, while the twin guide yoke keeps the clamp pad square to the fixture.
Small press stamping of labels
About 343 N of practical working force at 0.5 MPa is enough for date-code stamping on plastic housings, and the 90 mm stroke clears loading by hand.
Position-checked ejection on packaging lines
The -S magnet feeds CMSE or DMSE switches so the PLC confirms each eject stroke on a carton conveyor running at up to 500 mm/s.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X90S the Right Cylinder?
At 571.8 N both ways, bore 40 sits between the 32 mm frame (345.6 N) and the 50 mm frame (881.2 N) at 0.5 MPa, so pick this size when a 32 mm unit is under-rated but 50 mm is oversized. The 90 mm stroke is within the 100 mm standard range for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a held load matters. FB flange, CA, CB, CR and FTC mountings are available, and this model already carries the optional -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switch position feedback.
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 TACED40X90S FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal in both directions: 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 90 mm stroke is a standard stroke for the 40 mm bore.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow machine frames. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy but is not adjustable and never holds a load. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries magnet slots, and this model includes the optional -S magnet so CMSE / DMSE switches can be clipped on for stroke-end signalling.
