The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED80X100 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 100mm stroke, 1/4" 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 TACED80X100 pushes a 20 mm rod out of BOTH covers, so the 80 mm bore delivers an identical 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa (3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa) in each direction - the rod-side area is the same on both faces. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling rotating and take side load, so a press plate or gripper stays square without an external guide. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a fixed TPU bumper at each end, and the female M12x1.75 rod thread suits standard rod accessories.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why this bore size fits heavy jigs and gantries where a full-length body will not. For planning, treat roughly 0.6 of the 0.5 MPa force as usable work - about 1414 N, or near 144 kg of horizontal push with margin. Held vertically with a 2:1 margin it lifts about 120 kg. Air is filtered to 40 um, pressure runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C. Note this cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a load.

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 | 2356 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 3299 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 481 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 through-rod lets a machining cell clamp a casting from both sides with one cylinder, delivering 2356.2 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa while the twin guide rods keep the pressure plate square.
With about 120 kg of vertical lift at a 2:1 margin, the 80 mm bore handles steel bracket transfer on an automotive gantry, and the short body fits the tight Z-axis envelope.
Equal force both ways makes this cylinder a natural ejector under a stamping die - the return stroke is as strong as the strike, with the TPU bumper softening both ends of the 100 mm travel.
At 2356.2 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, the 80 mm bore sits between the 63 mm (1458.1 N) and the 100 mm (3769.9 N) - step down for lighter clamping, up for heavy press work. If your stroke stays within the standard range for this bore you avoid made-to-order lead times. Choose the -S code if you need CMSE / DMSE switches; this model has no magnet fitted, so no sensor can be mounted as-is. FB flange mounting is available, and the rod end is female M12x1.75 with a PT port.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design means both sides of the piston see the rod-side area, so output is equal both ways: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 480.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and speed range 30-500 mm/s.
This version has no magnet, so position switches cannot be fitted - order the TACED80X100S to enable CMSE or DMSE reed / solid-state switches on the magnet slots around the body. The port is 1/4" (PT thread), the rod end is female M12x1.75, and FB flange mounting is offered. Outline dimensions are not listed here - confirm from datasheet.
