The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED50X100 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 100mm 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 TACED50X100 pushes a 50 mm bore through a 100 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers. Because each side sees the rod-side area, output is a matched 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa in either 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 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, -20 to +70 C, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it drops into tight gantries. For sizing: 0.6 of the 881.2 N rating gives roughly 529 N of usable work, and the 881.2 N equals about 90 kgf, so plan on lifting about 45 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

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.
The 881.2 N from each rod clamps a machined housing from both sides in one cycle, and the twin guide rods keep the pressing plate square to the fixture.
Equal force in both directions lets one cylinder divert cartons left or right at 30-500 mm/s without swapping ports or recalibrating.
With about 45 kg of vertical lift at a 2:1 margin, the 100 mm stroke raises forklift battery connectors or pallet stops; add a pilot check valve because the piston drifts if air is lost.
At 881.2 N both ways, the 50 mm bore sits between the 40 mm (571.8 N) and 63 mm (1458.1 N) classes; step down for lighter tooling, up if your fixture needs more grip. The piston does not hold position when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a suspended load. This version has no magnet, so no CMSE or DMSE switch can be fitted; order the -S code if you need sensing. Rod end is a female M10x1.5 thread, port thread PT, and FB flange mounting is available.
Quick checklist
Output is equal in both directions because a rod exits both covers and both sides see the rod-side area: 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 179.7 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s and operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The ISO 21287 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 energy. Sensing needs the optional -S magnet code; with it, CMSE or DMSE switches ride the body slots. This version has no magnet, so no switch can be mounted. FB flange mounting is offered; outline dimensions: confirm from datasheet.
