Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE16X70S
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE16X70S 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 TACE16X70S
Double acting and non-rotating, the TACE16X70S delivers 100.5 N push and 75.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa from its 16 mm bore over a 70 mm stroke, with 140.7 N push and 105.6 N pull available at 0.7 MPa. Twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a gripper or plate stays square without any external guide.
Plan on roughly 60 N of real work at 0.5 MPa (about 0.6 of the push force), which lifts about 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and the -S magnet this model carries accepts CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches in the body slots. A fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke energy; it runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-500 mm/s.

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 TACE16X70S Is Used
Connector press-fit in electronics test nests
The 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa seats small connectors into PCB test fixtures, and the twin-guide yoke keeps the tooling square over the full 70 mm stroke without an external guide.
Reject slide gate on a fastener sorting line
Flange-mounted beside a conveyor, the non-rotating rod pushes a lightweight slide gate to divert off-spec parts; the fitted -S magnet drives a CMSE switch to confirm every stroke.
Sample vial lift in lab automation
With about 5 kg of vertical lift at a 2:1 margin, the 70 mm stroke raises a rack of sample vials into a scanner position; a CB clevis suits the pivoting tray linkage.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE16X70S the Right Cylinder?
Need a little less force? The bore 12 TACE pushes 56.5 N at 0.5 MPa; step up to bore 20 for 157.1 N. The rod drifts when air is lost, so fit a rod lock or pilot check valve wherever a load must be held. This 70 mm stroke sits inside the 75 mm standard range for bore 16, the fitted -S magnet pairs with CMSE / DMSE switches, and mounting choices are FB, CA, CB, CR or FTC with an M4x0.7 female rod thread and M5x0.8 PT port.
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 TACE16X70S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 75.4 N; at 0.7 MPa those rise to 140.7 N push and 105.6 N pull. The theoretical maximum is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C.
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 end-of-stroke energy. This -S version carries the magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clamped into the body slots. Mounting options are FB, CA, CB, CR and FTC, and the rod ends in an M4x0.7 female thread.
