Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED50X40
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED50X40 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 40mm 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 TACED50X40
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the TACED50X40 pushes a 50 mm bore through a 40 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers. Because both chambers see the rod-side area, output is identical in each direction: 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa. 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, 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 suits tight jigs and guarding. Plan on roughly 529 N of real work at 0.5 MPa (about 0.6 of the rating), which corresponds to lifting around 27 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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø50mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED50X40 Is Used
Symmetric clamp fixtures
A CNC machining fixture that clamps from both sides of a housing gets 881.2 N of identical clamping force from each rod end, with the twin guide yoke keeping the clamp pads square to the part.
Press-fit anvil station
A 40 mm stroke is enough to seat small bushings or dowels in an electronics assembly press, and the through-rod lets the anvil be driven from either cover on the same 881.2 N.
Bidirectional push-slide
A packaging line slide that must eject trays left or right from one cylinder uses the equal rod-side force both ways, with the non-rotating guides keeping the pusher plate aligned.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED50X40 the Right Cylinder?
At 881.2 N per direction, bore 50 sits between bore 40 (571.8 N) and bore 63 (1458.1 N) at 0.5 MPa, so pick 50 when a 40 mm bore is marginal but 63 is oversized. The 40 mm stroke is well inside the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if a load must stay put. Order the optional -S magnet if you need CMSE / DMSE switch positions; without -S no magnet is fitted. FB flange mounting and a G port thread are available; the female rod thread is M10x1.5.
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 TACED50X40 FAQ
Yes. The double-rod design means both sides of the piston see the rod-side area, so output is equal each 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 range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and temperature -20 to +70 C. For sizing, treat about 529 N as the practical working force at 0.5 MPa, roughly a 27 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome rod and a fixed TPU bumper at both ends. Position sensing requires the optional -S magnet code; only then can CMSE or DMSE switches be mounted on the body slots. Without -S there is no magnet and no switch can be read. FB flange mounting and a G port thread are orderable options.
