Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE16X35
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE16X35 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 35mm 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. Twin guide rods keep the tooling from rotating.

About the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE16X35
The TACE16X35 is a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 16 mm bore with a 35 mm stroke, an 8 mm hard-chrome S45C rod and a female M4x0.7 rod thread on the yoke. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a small gripper or plate stays square without any external guide. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 75.4 N; at 0.7 MPa those figures rise to 140.7 N and 105.6 N, with a theoretical maximum of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Its short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures, guards and small gantries where a full-length cylinder will not fit. For sizing, plan on roughly 60 N of real work at 0.5 MPa (about 0.6 of the push rating), which lifts about 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The magnet is the optional -S code: order TACE16X35S if you want CMSE or DMSE switches, because without -S no sensor can be mounted. A fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke energy at both ends.

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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø16mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 101 N | 75 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 141 N | 106 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 21 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin. Twin guide rods stop the tooling rotating.

Where the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE16X35 Is Used
Small gripper on electronics pick-and-place
The twin-guide yoke keeps a compact gripper square on a PCB handling head, while 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa easily closes jaws on connectors and small housings within the 35 mm stroke.
Clamp on a bench-top test fixture
With about 60 N of usable clamp force at 0.5 MPa, the TACE16X35 holds small brackets or sensor modules during leak or functional testing, and the short body fits inside the fixture guard.
Short-stroke diverter on a small-parts conveyor
The 35 mm stroke and non-rotating twin rods push vials or fasteners squarely off a narrow belt, and the optional -S magnet with a CMSE switch confirms the divert position at each cycle.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE16X35 the Right Cylinder?
Compare neighbours before committing: bore 12 delivers 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, while bore 20 reaches 157.1 N - choose the 16 mm when your clamp or lift needs more than the 12 but not the 20. If the load must stay put when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check valve, since the piston drifts on lost pressure. Mount with FB flange, CA or CB clevis, CR or FTC feet, and add the -S code only when CMSE or DMSE position switches are planned.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Short stroke fits the compact body
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Add -S if you need the magnet for sensors
- ✓ Rod type (female / male B) & mount (FA/LB/CA)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Compact body: keep the stroke short and avoid side load on the rod.
- check Do not dismantle the threaded front/back covers.
- check Keep speed within the rated range; the TPU bumper absorbs stroke-end energy.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE16X35 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 75.4 N. At 0.7 MPa the figures are 140.7 N push and 105.6 N pull. The theoretical maximum is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. For real-world sizing, count on about 60 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which is roughly a 5 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at both ends and FB, CA, CB, CR or FTC mounting options. The magnet is the optional -S code: order TACE16X35S to run CMSE or DMSE switches; without -S there is no magnet and no sensor can be fitted.
