The AirTAC TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED50X50 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 50mm 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.
Double acting with a double rod that exits both covers, the AirTAC TACED50X50 delivers 881.2 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa (1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa), because both strokes work on the rod-side area. Twin guide rods on a yoke keep the tooling square and carry side load, so a gripper or press plate stays aligned without an external guide. The 50 mm bore, 50 mm stroke package runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and travels at 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which makes the TACED50X50 easy to drop into tight fixtures and machine frames. A hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. For position sensing, order the optional -S magnet so CMSE / DMSE switches can be fitted; without -S there is no magnet.

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 clamping force available in both directions lets one TACED50X50 hold a machined housing from either side inside a compact fixture, with the twin guide yoke keeping the clamp pad square to the part.
With about 529 N of usable working force at 0.5 MPa, this cylinder suits light staking, marking and snap-fit pressing on electronics assemblies where a full-length body would not fit the station.
The 50 mm stroke pushes cartons off a conveyor lane at up to 500 mm/s, and the equal double-rod force means the retract stroke returns the arm with the same 881.2 N even under side load.
At 50 mm bore the TACED50X50 sits in a mid-heavy class: 881.2 N both ways at 0.5 MPa. If your load needs less, a TACED32X25 gives 345.6 N; if you need more, step up to a TACED63X50 at 1458.1 N. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if a load must stay held. The 50 mm stroke is within the 250 mm max standard stroke for this bore, and FB flange mounting plus the optional -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches can be added at order time.
Quick checklist
The 50 mm bore double-rod design gives 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa, equal in both directions because both strokes use the rod-side area. Maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 179.7 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow machine frames. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. FB flange mounting is available, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches; without -S no magnet is fitted.
