Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED50X55S
The AirTAC TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED50X55S 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 TACED50X55S
A double acting, double-rod ISO 21287 compact cylinder, the TACED50X55S pushes a 16 mm rod out of BOTH covers, so its 50 mm bore delivers 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction - no push/pull imbalance to design around. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling rotating and take side load, so a gripper or press plate stays square without an external guide rail.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why this bore class fits tight jigs and gantry Z-axes. The -S code on this model means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be mounted anywhere along the body slots. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock.

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 TACED50X55S Is Used
Symmetric press or riveting station
Equal 881.2 N force on approach and return lets one cylinder form or stake a bracket on the forward stroke and eject the part on the back stroke, with the twin guide yoke keeping the punch square.
Two-sided clamping of machined housings
A rod exits each cover, so opposing jaws on a CNC fixture clamp from both sides with identical 1233.7 N force at 0.7 MPa, and CMSE switches (magnet fitted via the -S code) confirm jaw position.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED50X55S the Right Cylinder?
At 881.2 N per direction this 50 mm bore sits between the 40 mm (571.8 N) and 63 mm (1458.1 N) classes - step down for lighter clamping, up when the load grows. The 55 mm stroke is within the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for bore 50, so it ships as a catalogue item. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, ports 1/8". Remember it drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must be held. Mounting is FB flange; the female rod thread is M10x1.5 and the port thread is PT (G available).
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 TACED50X55S FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes work on the rod-side area, so force 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 range 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.
The ISO 21287 body is hard-anodized aluminium, roughly 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with S45C hard-chrome-plated rods and 1/8" ports. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy - it is not adjustable and never holds or brakes a load, so use a rod lock or pilot check valve for held loads. This -S version carries the optional magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches mount in the body slots.
