Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED50X5
The AirTAC TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED50X5 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 5mm 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 TACED50X5
This is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the ISO 21287 short-body format. A 16 mm rod exits BOTH covers, so the 50 mm bore delivers 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction - the rod-side area is identical on both faces. 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 5 mm stroke suits short clamp, eject or index moves where a full-length body would never fit.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated rod shrugs off wear in high-cycle lines, and the body runs about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, freeing space inside guards and gantries. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, ports 1/8".

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 TACED50X5 Is Used
Short-stroke press stamping
A 5 mm stroke and 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa is ideal for stamping a batch code or date mark onto aluminium extrusion ends on a packaging line, with the twin guide yoke keeping the die square.
Fixture clamp on a CNC jig
Clamp a machined housing against a hard stop inside a tight fixture: the compact body fits where a full-length cylinder cannot, and about 529 N of usable force holds the part through drilling.
Ejector on an assembly indexer
Kick small gearboxes off a pallet at each index station - the double rod pushes and retracts with equal 881.2 N force, and the non-rotating yoke keeps the ejector pad aligned cycle after cycle.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED50X5 the Right Cylinder?
At 50 mm bore you sit mid-range: a 40 mm bore gives 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa while a 63 mm bore reaches 1458.1 N, so step up only if the 881.2 N figure is marginal. The 5 mm stroke is well inside the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost - it never locks - so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must be held. Mounting is FB flange; the rod end is female M10x1.5. If you need position sensing, order the -S code: without it there is no magnet and no CMSE / DMSE switch can be read.
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 TACED50X5 FAQ
Yes - because a rod exits both covers, both sides work on the rod-side area. At 0.5 MPa you get 881.2 N, at 0.7 MPa you get 1233.7 N, and the maximum at 1.0 MPa is 179.7 kgf, identical push and pull. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um, temperature -20 to +70 C.
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 fixed TPU bumper at each end and FB flange mounting. Position sensing is possible only if you order the optional -S magnet code; with the plain TACED50X5 there is no magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches cannot be detected.
