The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE25X100S 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.
The TACE25X100S is a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 25 mm bore that pushes 245.4 N (about 25 kgf) at 0.5 MPa and 343.6 N at 0.7 MPa over a 100 mm stroke, on a hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod. 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 - a real edge over a plain compact cylinder. The rod ends in a female M6x1.0 thread and the air ports are M5x0.8.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs, guards and gantries where a full-length cylinder will not. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, and the two-way piston seal stores grease for long service. In practice, plan for about 147 N of real work at 0.5 MPa rather than the full 245.4 N rating, or lift about 12 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches clamp straight onto the body for position signals. Supply 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air filtered to 40 um; speed 30-500 mm/s; proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 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.

| 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.
Clamps a circuit-board nest on an SMT placement fixture: 245.4 N at 0.5 MPa holds the board square while the twin-guide yoke keeps the clamp pad from rotating under side load.
Tucks near-side flaps on a small carton sealing head: the 100 mm stroke reaches across the box face and the twin guide rods stop the tuck blade twisting as it enters the flap gap.
Pushes sample trays between stations in a diagnostics analyzer: about 12 kg vertical-lift equivalent with a 2:1 margin, and CMSE / DMSE switches on the -S magnet confirm tray-in-position.
At 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa, this 25 mm bore sits between the 20 mm bore (157.1 N) and the 32 mm bore (402.1 N) in the TACE range. If your tooling needs more than about 147 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa, step up to 32 mm; below roughly 95 N of working load the 20 mm bore saves air and space. The piston drifts when air is lost, so for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. Mount with FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR or FTC; the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches, and the 100 mm stroke covers the full standard range for this bore.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 245.4 N and pulls 206.2 N; at 0.7 MPa, 343.6 N push and 288.6 N pull. The theoretical maximum is 50.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Keep real working loads near 147 N at 0.5 MPa for a sensible margin, and note the rod drifts if air is lost - use a rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a load.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow guards and tight jig plates. Mount via FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR or FTC; the rod carries a female M6x1.0 thread and ports are M5x0.8. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, and because this model carries the -S magnet, CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly on the body slots.
