The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE25X30S is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 30mm stroke, M5×0.8 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.
This AirTAC ACE25X30S is a double acting compact cylinder that uses air to both extend and retract its 10 mm rod. It delivers 245.4 N of push force and 206.2 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 50.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The ISO 21287 short body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, fitting into tight machine frames and guarding where a full-length cylinder won't fit.
The 25 mm bore unit has a hard-anodized aluminium body and a hard-chrome plated S45C steel rod for wear resistance. This model includes the optional -S magnet, so you can mount CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches for position sensing. For a real-world load estimate, plan for about 15 kg of safe vertical work at 0.5 MPa, which is roughly 60% of the rated push force converted to mass.

| 0.7 MPa | 344 N | 289 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 50 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

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.
Use the 245.4 N push force to clamp thin sheet metal or plastic components in a CNC fixture, holding them steady during drilling or routing operations.
Drive a light labeling head to press labels onto boxes or bottles on a packaging line, with the 30 mm stroke providing the required travel for each cycle.
Actuate a locating pin in a welding jig to position brackets before tacking. The compact body fits within the fixture envelope and the magnet confirms pin position via a CMSE switch.
For a lighter duty, the ACE20X30S offers 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the ACE32X30S gives you 402.1 N push at the same pressure. This ACE25X30S sits in the middle, suitable for moderate force applications like clamping small parts or actuating light guards. The M5x0.8 ports suit 4 mm or 6 mm tubing, and the female M6x1.0 rod thread accepts standard clevis or rod-end accessories.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 245.4 N and the pull force is 206.2 N. At 0.7 MPa, push is 343.6 N and pull is 288.6 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 50.1 kgf. These figures are based on the 25 mm bore and 10 mm rod.
The ACE25X30S follows ISO 21287, a compact standard that saves about 50% of the mounting length compared to an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. This makes it ideal for tight spaces. It also features a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb impact, and the optional -S magnet allows for CMSE or DMSE switch mounting.
