The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED63X40 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 40mm 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 ISO 21287 compact cylinder, the TACED63X40 pushes a 63 mm bore through a 40 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers. Because both chambers see the rod-side area, output is identical in each direction: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a gripper or press plate stays square without an external guide.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, -20 to +70 C, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. In practice, plan on roughly 875 N (about 89 kg) of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 44 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches.

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 (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 equal 1458.1 N output in both directions suits a CNC fixture that presses bearings home on the advance stroke and ejects the finished part on the return, with the twin guide yoke keeping the punch square.
A 40 mm stroke is enough to grip and release stacked totes on an AGV lifting deck, and the non-rotating guide rods stop the clamp pads twisting under offset loads.
A packaging line pop-up stop that must raise and lower with the same force benefits from the through-rod design, with the optional -S magnet feeding a CMSE switch to confirm up position.
At 1458.1 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 63 mm bore sits between the 50 mm bore (881.2 N) and the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N) - pick 50 mm for lighter clamping, 80 mm when you need over 2300 N. The 40 mm stroke is well inside the 250 mm standard range for this bore. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. Order the -S code if you need position sensing with CMSE / DMSE switches; without it there is no magnet. Mounting is FB flange, and the female rod thread is M10x1.5 with a 1/8" PT port.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double rod means both sides work on the rod-side area, so output is equal either way: 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), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s.
It is an ISO 21287 compact build whose short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end and FB flange mounting. Sensors are possible only if you order the optional -S magnet; without that code no magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE switches cannot be used.
