The AirTAC TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED63X15S is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 15mm 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 rod leaving both covers, the TACED63X15S pushes and pulls with identical force because each side works on the rod-side area: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling from rotating and take side load, so a gripper or press plate stays square without an external guide. The 63 mm bore runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) of clean air and strokes at 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why this size drops into tight fixtures, guarding and gantry frames. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a roller-burnished bore, the S45C rod is hard-chrome plated, and fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke energy at both ends. This -S model carries the optional magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be fitted for end-position sensing.

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 | 1458 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 2041 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 297 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 15 mm stroke is enough to swing a clamp arm in and out of the cut, and the 1458.1 N clamping force at 0.5 MPa holds a steel workpiece firmly against the fixture stop from either side of the cylinder.
The through-rod gives equal grip force opening and closing, and the twin guide yoke keeps the jaws aligned on an aluminium housing without twisting - roughly 74 kg of vertical lift margin covers a heavy casting.
A compact benchtop stake or snap-fit press needs only 15 mm of travel; the short ISO 21287 body fits under a low gantry where a full-length profile cylinder would not, and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa seats the terminal.
At 63 mm bore this sits between the 50 mm size (881.2 N at 0.5 MPa) and the 80 mm size (2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa), so pick it when the 50 mm is under-rated for the job but 80 mm is oversized. The 15 mm stroke is well inside the standard range for this bore, so it ships as a catalogue item. If the load must stay put when air is lost, note that the piston will drift - add a rod lock or pilot check valve. FB flange mounting is available, and the -S magnet in this model lets you add CMSE / DMSE switches directly on the body slots.
Quick checklist
Yes - because a rod exits both covers, both sides work on the rod-side area, so output is equal both ways: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 297.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um.
The S in TACED63X15S means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped into the slots around the hard-anodized aluminium body. Mounting is via the FB flange option, and the rod end carries a female M10x1.5 thread with a 1/8" air port. Fixed TPU bumpers at both ends absorb end-of-stroke impact; for outline details, confirm from datasheet.
