The AirTAC TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED50X45 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 45mm 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 TACED50X45 pushes and pulls with identical force because a 16 mm rod exits both covers and each side works on the rod-side area. At 0.5 MPa that is 881.2 N in either direction, rising to 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 plated rod runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why this 50 mm bore fits tight jigs, guards and gantries. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. The magnet is not fitted on this model; order the optional -S code if you need CMSE / DMSE switch sensing.

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 881.2 N symmetric clamp holds aluminum housings square in a machining fixture, and the twin guide rods keep the clamp plate from twisting as it closes.
With equal 881.2 N push and pull at 0.5 MPa, the through-rod rejects cartons on the extend stroke and retracts the pusher at the same force for the next cycle.
About 529 N of practical working force at 0.5 MPa suits light press fits of small bushings, while the compact body slots into a tight assembly gantry.
At 50 mm bore this sits mid-range: step down to the TACED32 (345.6 N at 0.5 MPa both ways) for lighter clamping, or up to the TACED63 (1458.1 N) when the job needs nearly double the thrust. The 45 mm stroke is within the standard range for bore 50, so no made-to-order build is needed. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost - for a held vertical load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. Mount with the FB flange, and if position sensing is required, specify the -S magnet variant rather than this base model.
Quick checklist
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal in both directions: 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 temperature -20 to +70 C.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits where a full-length cylinder will not. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. Mounting is FB flange, ports are 1/8" PT, and the rod end carries a female M10x1.5 thread. Sensing needs the optional -S magnet, which enables CMSE / DMSE switches; this base model has no magnet fitted.
