The AirTAC TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED50X60S is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 60mm 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.
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the TACED50X60S pushes a 16 mm rod out of both covers, so the 50 mm bore delivers the same 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa (1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa) whether it extends or retracts. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, keeping a gripper or press plate square without an external guide. The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated rod runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight welding jigs and machine frames. The S in the model code means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be clamped straight onto the body slot. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, and the female M10x1.5 rod thread on both ends suits yoke-mounted tooling.

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 in both directions and non-rotating twin guide yoke hold a car-panel jig square through thousands of clamp-and-release cycles, and the short body fits inside the fixture frame.
A 45 kg vertical lift capability with equal force closing and opening suits a robotic gripper handling aluminium castings, with CMSE switches on the fitted magnet confirming grip position.
Pushing 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa through a 60 mm stroke gives a compact manual-load press for pressing bushings into small housings where a full-length profile cylinder will not fit.
At 881.2 N per direction, this 50 mm bore sits between the 40 mm TACED (571.8 N at 0.5 MPa) and the 63 mm TACED (1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa) - step down if your load is under 550 N, step up if you need over 900 N of repeatable force. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if a load must stay held. The 60 mm stroke is within the standard range for this bore, the 1/8" ports take PT fittings as coded, and FB flange, CA, CB, CR or FTC mounts can be selected at order time.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design means a rod exits both covers and both sides work on 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. The twin guide rods keep the load non-rotating throughout the 60 mm stroke.
The S code means the optional -S magnet is fitted on this unit, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots; models ordered without the S code carry no magnet. The ISO 21287 compact body is hard-anodized aluminium about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end and 1/8" PT ports.
