The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE25X10 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 10mm 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.
Built as a double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact cylinder, the TACE25X10 drives a 25 mm bore over a 10 mm stroke, with twin guide rods on a yoke that stop the tooling turning and carry side load. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 245.4 N and pulls 206.2 N, rising to 343.6 N push and 288.6 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical peak of 50.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits tight jigs, guards and gantries.
Plan on roughly 147 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa, about 60% of the rated push, and expect the full 245.4 N to lift about 25 kg vertically - halve that to 12 kg for a 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbing end-of-stroke energy. Sensing needs the optional -S magnet code; without it no CMSE or DMSE switch can be mounted. Speed runs 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um 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.

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.

ACE-family variants: ACE (double acting), ASE / ATE (single acting push / pull), ACED (double rod), ACEJ (adjustable stroke), TACE / TACED (non-rotating twin-guide yoke). Mounting accessories: FA / FB flange, LB foot, CA / CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, FTC; plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G.
Pressing small bearings into pump housings on an electronics assembly line: 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa suits light press-fit work, and the twin-guide yoke keeps the arbor square over the short 10 mm stroke.
Clamping aluminium brackets in a CNC drill fixture: the 10 mm stroke closes fast, the guide rods take the side thrust of the clamp pad, and the compact body tucks under the jig plate where a full-length cylinder will not.
Lifting small aluminium housings between trays on a packaging cell - about 12 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin at 0.5 MPa - and the optional -S magnet lets a DMSE switch confirm each end position.
For light press and clamp work near 245 N at 0.5 MPa, the 25 mm bore is the right pick; drop to a 20 mm bore (157.1 N push) for gentler loads or step up to 32 mm (402.1 N) when the job needs more muscle. The piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve wherever a load must stay held. The rod ends in a female M6x1.0 thread, with no male-thread option on the yoke. Mount via FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR or FTC, and order the -S code if CMSE or DMSE switches are planned.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the 25 mm bore pushes 245.4 N and pulls 206.2 N; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 343.6 N push and 288.6 N pull. Theoretical maximum force is 50.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The rod drifts when air is removed, so fit a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay in place.
The ISO 21287 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 shock. Mounting choices are FB, CA, CB, CR and FTC, with M5x0.8 PT ports on this bore. Feedback requires the optional -S magnet; only with that code can CMSE or DMSE switches be mounted.
