Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED50X55
The AirTAC TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED50X55 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 55mm 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 TACED50X55
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the TACED50X55 pushes and pulls with identical force: 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa in each direction, because both strokes work on the rod-side area. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling turning and take side load, so a press plate or gripper stays square without a separate linear guide. The female M10x1.5 rod thread on each end accepts standard rod accessories.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why this 50 mm bore fits shallow fixtures and guarded cells. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a roller-burnished bore, the S45C hard-chrome rod resists wear, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).

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 TACED50X55 Is Used
Symmetric press or stamping fixture
Equal 881.2 N force on the downstroke and return lets a small punch-and-form station run the same cycle both ways without a return spring or counterbalance.
Two-sided clamping of machined housings
Rods exiting both covers clamp a workpiece from opposite faces in one cylinder, and the twin guide yoke keeps the jaws from twisting under side load.
Push-and-return gate on a packaging line
The 55 mm stroke diverts cartons at conveyor speed (30-500 mm/s), and the compact body slots into the tight gap between guard panels and frame rails.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED50X55 the Right Cylinder?
At 881.2 N per direction, the 50 mm bore sits between the 40 mm (571.8 N) and 63 mm (1458.1 N) options - step down for lighter clamping, up when the load grows. If you need position held when air drops, add a rod lock or pilot check valve, because this cylinder drifts when pressure is lost. Mounting is FB flange; add the optional -S magnet to the order code if CMSE / DMSE switches will be fitted later.
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 TACED50X55 FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area, so output is equal either way: 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), and speed 30-500 mm/s. Air must be filtered to 40 um; working temperature is -20 to +70 C.
It is built to ISO 21287, the short-body compact standard, so it saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder - useful in shallow jigs and guarded machines. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke impact. Position sensing is possible only when you order the optional -S magnet; with that code, CMSE / DMSE switches mount in the body slots. Without -S there is no magnet and no switch can read position.
