The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE25X100 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 100mm 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.
Double acting and non-rotating, the TACE25X100 packs a 25 mm bore and 100 mm stroke into an ISO 21287 compact body, with twin guide rods on a yoke that stop the tooling rotating and carry side load. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 245.4 N and pulls 206.2 N; at 0.7 MPa those figures rise to 343.6 N push and 288.6 N pull, 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 where a full-length cylinder will not. A hard-anodized aluminium body runs a hard-chrome plated S45C rod, and fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke shock at both ends. For sizing, plan on roughly 147 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa (about 60% of the push rating), which lifts about 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The magnet is optional: order the -S code to enable CMSE / DMSE switches, since without -S there is no magnet fitted.

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.

|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 245 N | 206 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 344 N | 289 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 50 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.

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.
The twin-guide yoke keeps a small gripper square while it lifts PCB trays and connector housings, and the 100 mm stroke clears a full tote depth without an external guide.
With 245.4 N of push at 0.5 MPa, the cylinder presses nylon bushings into small pump housings, and the short ISO 21287 body drops into a jig where a longer profile cylinder cannot.
Mounted under the side rail, the 100 mm stroke raises a stop blade into the path of small cartons, while the twin guide rods stop the blade twisting under side contact.
Compare both directions before you commit: the 20 mm bore pushes 157.1 N at 0.5 MPa if your load is lighter, while the 32 mm bore pushes 402.1 N if you need more headroom. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost, so for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check valve rather than relying on the cylinder itself.
Mounting runs FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC, with a female M6x1.0 rod thread and no rod-thread code on the yoke. If you need position sensing, specify the optional -S magnet so CMSE / DMSE switches can be clipped to the body.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 245.4 N and pulls 206.2 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 343.6 N and pulls 288.6 N. The theoretical maximum is 50.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The bore is 25 mm with a 10 mm rod, M5x0.8 ports, a female M6x1.0 rod thread, an operating range of 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speeds of 30-500 mm/s.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with fixed TPU bumpers at both ends to absorb end-of-stroke shock. Mounting options are FB, CA, CB, CR and FTC. Switches are possible only with the optional -S magnet, which lets CMSE / DMSE sensors mount on the body; without the -S code there is no magnet.
