Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE16X70
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE16X70 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 70mm 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 TACE16X70
A double acting compact cylinder built to the ISO 21287 short-body format, the TACE16X70 pairs a 16 mm bore with a 70 mm stroke and a twin-guide yoke that stops the load rotating. 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 peak of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures where a full-length cylinder cannot.
For real work, plan on roughly 60 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa (about 0.6 of the push rating), which is enough to lift about 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized aluminium barrel carries an 8 mm S45C hard-chrome rod with a female M4x0.7 thread, and fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke shock at both ends. This version ships without a magnet; order the -S code if you want CMSE or DMSE switch position sensing.

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 TACE16X70 Is Used
Ejector pin on a PCB test fixture
The twin-guide yoke keeps the pin square as it pushes a tested board off the nest; 70 mm of stroke clears the tray and about 60 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa is ample for a small board.
Blister-pack push-off into a carton chute
A 70 mm sweep slides a row of blister packs sideways into the chute; the non-rotating plate stays flat against the guides without an external rail, and the compact body fits the tight chute frame.
Sample shuttle in a lab autosampler
Moves a vial rack between wash and read stations inside a cramped housing; the optional -S magnet can drive a DMSE switch at each end of travel to confirm the rack position.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE16X70 the Right Cylinder?
Step down to the 12 mm bore (56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa) if your load is light, or step up to the 20 mm bore (157.1 N) when 100.5 N leaves too little margin. Remember the rod drifts when air is lost - it holds no position on its own, so add a pilot check valve or rod lock for a held load. FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC mountings all fit, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches; this unit ships without it. The 70 mm stroke sits inside the 75 mm standard limit for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed.
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 TACE16X70 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 75.4 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 140.7 N and pulls 105.6 N. The theoretical maximum is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof rating, speed runs 30-500 mm/s, and the air must be filtered to 40 um.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a hard-anodized aluminium barrel, an 8 mm hard-chrome rod on a female M4x0.7 thread, and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends. Mounting options are FB, CA, CB, CR and FTC. Sensors require the optional -S magnet - without it, no CMSE or DMSE switch can be fitted.
