The AirTAC TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED63X55 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm 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.
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the TACED63X55 pushes a 63 mm bore through a 55 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers, so the force 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, keeping a gripper or plate square without an external guide. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it drops into tight jigs, guards and gantries.
The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a roller-burnished bore, the S45C rod is hard-chrome plated, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. Air supply is filtered to 40 um, pressure runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the rod end is female M10x1.5 with a 1/8" PT port.

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).

A machining cell clamping aluminium extrusions from both sides needs equal force each way; the through-rod gives 1458.1 N on both faces at 0.5 MPa from one compact body.
Twin guide rods keep the jaws from rotating while the double rod delivers the same 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa on open and close, all within a body about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
At 1458.1 N per side at 0.5 MPa, this bore sits between the 50 mm frame (881.2 N) and the 80 mm frame (2356.2 N), so pick the TACED50X... when the load is under 500 kgf-class and step up to 80 mm for heavier clamping. The 55 mm stroke is within the standard range for bore 63, so no made-to-order build is needed. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay put. Mounting is FB flange, and if you need position feedback, order the -S code so CMSE or DMSE switches can be fitted; without -S there is no magnet in the piston.
Quick checklist
Yes. Because a rod exits both covers, both sides work on the rod-side area, so force is equal either way: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa, with a peak of 297.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the port is 1/8" PT with an M10x1.5 female rod thread.
Sensing needs the optional -S magnet code; with -S ordered, CMSE or DMSE switches read position along the body slots, but without -S no magnet is fitted and no switch will trigger. Deceleration at each end comes from a fixed TPU bumper, not an adjustable air arrangement, so for soft stops over the last few millimeters control the speed with flow valves. The body is hard-anodized aluminium to ISO 21287, roughly 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and FB flange mounting is available.
