The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED50X30S is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 30mm 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.
This is a double acting, double-rod ISO 21287 compact cylinder: a rod exits both covers, so the 50 mm bore delivers the same 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa (1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa) whether it pushes or pulls. 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 -S code on this model means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clamped straight onto the body slots.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it drops into tight jigs, guarding and gantries where a full-length body will not fit. A hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome plated rod and a fixed TPU bumper at both ends keep it serviceable and quiet. For sizing: 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa is about 89 kgf, so halving for a 2:1 margin it lifts roughly 45 kg vertically; plan on about 528 N of real work at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating.

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 through-rod force clamps a machining pallet from either side with equal force, and the twin guide rods keep the clamp shoe square to the fixture without a separate guide.
A 30 mm stroke is enough to kick cartons off a conveyor lane; the compact body fits under low guarding where an ISO 15552 profile cylinder would be about twice as long.
Because a rod exits both covers, one cylinder can drive two tool points with identical 881.2 N force in each direction - useful for symmetric forming or marking heads.
At 50 mm bore you sit mid-range: a 40 mm TACED gives 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa and a 63 mm TACED gives 1458.1 N, so step up only if the 881.2 N figure is marginal. The 30 mm stroke is well inside the 100 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a catalogue item. Ports are 1/8" and the female rod thread is M10x1.5. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. FB flange mounting and the fitted -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches are both available on this variant.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design means both sides of the piston see the rod-side area, so output is equal either way: 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 pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 30 mm stroke is a standard stroke for the 50 mm bore.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow jigs and guarded gantries. The twin guide rods on the yoke prevent load rotation and take side load, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be mounted on the body slots for end-position sensing.
