The AirTAC TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED50X15 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 15mm 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.
The TACED50X15 is a double acting, double rod compact cylinder built to the ISO 21287 short-body format. A rod exits both covers, so the 50 mm bore delivers an equal 881.2 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa (1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa), because both sides work on the rod-side area. 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 15 mm stroke suits short, fast moves at 30-500 mm/s.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated 16 mm rod shrugs off wear in daily production, and a fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke shock at both ends. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and gantries. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) through the 1/8" port, with a female M10x1.5 rod thread.

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 (double rod, 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 15 mm stroke and 881.2 N both ways suit pressing bearings or bushings into aluminium housings on an assembly cell, with the twin guide yoke keeping the punch square.
A rod out of each cover lets one cylinder close and open a 45 kg-class clamp jaw with equal force, eliminating a second cylinder on robotic handling fixtures.
Fast 30-500 mm/s cycling and the compact body fit a reject station that kicks underfilled cartons sideways on a conveyor without stealing line length.
At 881.2 N per side, the 50 mm bore sits mid-range: step down to the 40 mm TACED (571.8 N) for lighter clamps, or up to the 63 mm (1458.1 N) when the part is heavier. If you only need force one way, the single-rod TACE gives a longer body for the same bore. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. The FB flange, CA, CB, CR and FTC mountings all fit, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches; without -S there is no magnet.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double rod means both sides see the rod-side area, so output is equal both ways: 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. 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 1/8" port takes air filtered to 40 um.
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 shock. For sensing, order the optional -S magnet version, which allows CMSE or DMSE switches along the body slots; the standard TACED50X15 has no magnet fitted.
