Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED50X40S
The AirTAC TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED50X40S 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 TACED50X40S
Double acting and double rod, the TACED50X40S pushes with 881.2 N and pulls with the same 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa, because a rod leaves both covers and every stroke works on the rod-side area. At 0.7 MPa that rises to 1233.7 N in either direction, with a peak of 179.7 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 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. A rod exits each cover, so tooling can be fitted on both ends of the same moving assembly.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters in tight jigs, guards and gantries. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries 1/8" ports, the S45C rod is hard-chrome plated, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. As an -S model the magnet is already fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly on the body slots.

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 TACED50X40S Is Used
Pick-and-place gripper actuation
The twin guide yoke keeps a two-finger gripper from rotating while the through-rod lets a second tool ride the rear rod, moving PCB trays at up to 500 mm/s with 881.2 N available either way.
Small press and staking fixture
With about 529 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, the 40 mm stroke suits staking terminals or pressing bearings into housings on an electronics assembly line, squaring the punch without an external guide.
Indexing table with position feedback
The fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches in the body slots, so a rotary indexing table can signal end positions directly, with the 1/8" ports keeping plumbing compact inside the machine base.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED50X40S the Right Cylinder?
At 50 mm bore this sits between the 40 mm TACED (571.8 N at 0.5 MPa) and the 63 mm TACED (1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa), so pick it when a mid-range load needs equal force both ways. Stroke 40 mm is within the standard range for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. It does not hold position when air is lost - the piston drifts - so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. FB flange mounting is available, and because this is the -S version the CMSE / DMSE switches can be ordered with it. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um.
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 TACED50X40S FAQ
Force is equal in both directions because the double-rod design works on the rod-side area: 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa, both ways, 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 16 mm rod ends in a female M10x1.5 thread with 1/8" ports.
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 stations. The -S in TACED50X40S means the optional magnet is fitted on this model, allowing CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches in the body slots; models without -S carry no magnet. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and FB flange mounting is available.
