Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE16X60S
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE16X60S is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 60mm 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 TACE16X60S
The TACE16X60S is a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 16 mm bore and 60 mm stroke in a hard-anodized aluminium body that saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. Twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a gripper or plate stays square without an 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 push and 105.6 N pull.
Because the -S magnet is fitted on this model, CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches clamp straight into the body slots for end-of-stroke signalling. Air supply runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with speed 30-500 mm/s, and a fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends. For sizing, treat roughly 60 N (0.6 of the push force) as the usable working force at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

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 TACE16X60S Is Used
Electronics fixture ejection
Ejects finished connectors or sensor caps from a PCB assembly nest; the twin-guide yoke keeps the pusher square to the cavity and the 60 mm stroke clears the part in one move.
Test-nest press check
Presses a small module into a go/no-go test fixture with CMSE or DMSE switches confirming extend and retract, using the fitted -S magnet and about 60 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa.
Vial sorting on a packaging line
Diverts cosmetic vials or pharma caps at a sorting gate where the short ISO 21287 body fits inside the guard and the non-rotating rod keeps the gate plate aligned cycle after cycle.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE16X60S the Right Cylinder?
At 100.5 N push (0.5 MPa) this 16 mm bore sits between the 12 mm size (56.5 N) and the 20 mm size (157.1 N), so step up only if the jig needs that extra 55 N. The 60 mm stroke is inside the 75 mm standard range for bore 16, so no made-to-order build is required. The rod drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC mountings bolt to the same body, and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches.
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 TACE16X60S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the 16 mm bore pushes 100.5 N and pulls 75.4 N; at 0.7 MPa it reaches 140.7 N push and 105.6 N pull. The theoretical maximum is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Supply pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and speed spans 30-500 mm/s. Air should be filtered to 40 um.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight guards and jigs. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches mount in the body slots. Rod end is a female M4x0.7 thread, the air port is M5x0.8 (PT), and FB, CA/CB, CR and FTC mounting options are available.
