Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE16X35S
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE16X35S 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 TACE16X35S
A double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder to ISO 21287, the TACE16X35S pairs a 16 mm bore and 35 mm stroke with twin guide rods on a yoke that stop the tooling rotating and carry side load. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome plated 8 mm rod. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 75.4 N; at 0.7 MPa those figures climb to 140.7 N and 105.6 N. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits tight jigs, guards and gantries.
For real work, plan on roughly 60 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa (about 0.6 of the rating), enough to lift about 5 kg vertically once a 2:1 margin is applied. This S-code model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches clamp into the body slots for end-of-stroke signals. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs stroke-end shock, the rod end is female threaded M4x0.7, the port is M5x0.8, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).

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 TACE16X35S Is Used
Small-parts ejection on electronics assembly benches
Pushing stamped terminals or connector housings out of a shallow nest on an SMT feeder bench. The 35 mm stroke clears a low nest, and the twin-guide yoke keeps the pusher square so parts do not jam sideways.
Test-rig clamping of sensor housings
Clamping small sensor bodies or PCB fixtures in a QC test jig. The 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa holds light parts firmly, and the fitted -S magnet feeds an end-of-clamp signal straight to the PLC via a CMSE switch.
Blister gate diversion on packaging lines
Diverting small blisters or cartons at a packaging gate inside tight guarding. The short ISO 21287 body fits where a full-length profile cylinder will not, and the non-rotating rod keeps the gate plate aligned.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE16X35S the Right Cylinder?
Size both ways: if 100.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa is more than the job needs, the 12 mm bore delivers 56.5 N; if the load grows, step up to the 20 mm bore for 157.1 N at the same pressure. The piston drifts when air is lost, so for a suspended load add a rod lock or pilot check valve rather than relying on the cylinder to hold. FB flange, CA and CB clevis, CR and FTC mountings cover most frame designs, and because this unit already carries the -S magnet, CMSE / DMSE switches give position feedback without reordering. The 35 mm stroke sits well inside the 75 mm standard limit for this bore.
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 TACE16X35S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the 16 mm bore pushes 100.5 N and pulls 75.4 N. At 0.7 MPa push rises to 140.7 N and pull to 105.6 N. The theoretical maximum is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Supply air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi); proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi) and speed range is 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs stroke-end shock. Mounting options are FB flange, CA and CB clevis, CR and FTC. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots for position detection.
