The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED50X10 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 10mm 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 compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the TACED50X10 pushes a 16 mm rod out of BOTH covers, so the 50 mm bore delivers an identical 881.2 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa (1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa). Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling rotating and take side load, so a press plate or gripper stays square without an external guide. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which makes this 10 mm stroke version a natural fit for shallow clamping fixtures and ejection stations. In practice, plan on roughly 529 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, enough to lift about 45 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a roller-burnished bore, the S45C rod is hard-chrome plated, and the female rod thread is M10x1.5 with a 1/8" PT port.

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 | 881 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1234 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 180 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.
A 10 mm stroke with 881.2 N both ways at 0.5 MPa seats bearings or bushings in a compact bench press head, and the twin guide yoke keeps the punch square to the housing bore.
Because a rod exits both covers, one cylinder can push rejected PCBs off a conveyor in either direction from the same body, halving the parts count at the reject station.
The ISO 21287 body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so the clamp arm fits inside a shallow drilling jig where a full-length body would foul the fixture wall.
At 881.2 N per side at 0.5 MPa, bore 50 sits between the 40 mm frame (571.8 N) and the 63 mm frame (1458.1 N); step down for lighter clamps, up when the part mass grows. The 10 mm stroke suits short ejection and confirm-present moves rather than long transfers. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay put. Mounting is FB flange; if you need position sensing, order the -S variant, because the base TACED50X10 has no magnet and no CMSE / DMSE switch can be read without it.
Quick checklist
Yes, identical both ways, because the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on each stroke. At 0.5 MPa the 50 mm bore gives 881.2 N, at 0.7 MPa it gives 1233.7 N, and the maximum at 1.0 MPa is 179.7 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 30-500 mm/s, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome rod, female M10x1.5 rod thread and a 1/8" PT port. Mounting is FB flange. Position sensing requires the optional -S magnet: order TACED50X10S and CMSE or DMSE switches can be mounted in the body slots; the base model without -S carries no magnet.
