The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED50X45S 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.
The TACED50X45S is a double acting, double rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 16 mm rod exits both covers, so the 50 mm bore delivers an equal 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 keep the tooling from 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 at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 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 bore class fits tight jigs, guards and gantries. At 0.5 MPa the rod-side thrust of 881.2 N equates to roughly 90 kg of lift, so halving for a 2:1 margin lets you lift about 45 kg vertically with margin to spare. The S code on this model means the optional magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted anywhere along the body slots, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy.

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 rod-side force at 0.5 MPa clamps aluminium or plastic workpieces on machining pallets, and the twin guide yoke keeps the clamp pad square to the fixture without a side guide.
With about 45 kg of vertical lift at a 2:1 margin, the 45 mm stroke raises carton stacks or tray nests between conveyor levels; equal force both ways simplifies up-down sizing.
The fitted -S magnet lets CMSE / DMSE switches confirm full seat on an electronics assembly press, while the short ISO 21287 body tucks the cylinder inside a guarding frame.
At 50 mm bore this sits in the mid-force band: a 32 mm TACED gives 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, while a 63 mm TACED steps up to 1458.1 N, so pick 50 mm when your clamp or lift needs more than 500 N but not a 63 mm envelope. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - it never holds position - so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a suspended load. The female M10x1.5 rod thread on both ends, 1/8" PT ports and FB flange mounting cover most jig and gantry builds, and the fitted -S magnet means CMSE / DMSE position switches work out of the box.
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 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 carries a female M10x1.5 thread on both ends with 1/8" PT ports.
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; it is not adjustable and it never locks or brakes a load - for holding, add a rod lock or pilot check valve. FB flange mounting is available, and the S code on this model fits the optional magnet so CMSE / DMSE switches can be added.
