The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE25X10S 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.
The TACE25X10S is a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 25 mm bore with a 10 mm stroke in a hard-anodized aluminium body fitted with an S45C hard-chrome plated 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. 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 and 288.6 N, with a theoretical maximum 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 drops into tight jigs, guards and gantries where a full-length cylinder will not fit. Plan for roughly 147 N of real work at 0.5 MPa instead of the full rating, and with a 2:1 margin it lifts about 12 kg vertically. The S in the model code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted in the body slots, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy.

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.
A 10 mm stroke is enough to kick a pressed bushing out of its nest, and 245.4 N of push at 0.5 MPa clears light interference fits without hammering the fixture.
On a packaging line diverting 10 kg cartons, the twin-guide yoke keeps the pusher plate square against the side load so packs do not skew as they leave the belt.
Because this -S model carries the magnet, a CMSE or DMSE switch in the body slot signals extend and retract on a 10 mm clamp move, wiring straight into the PLC.
For this 10 mm stroke, a 16 mm bore gives only 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 32 mm bore raises it to 402.1 N - so the 25 mm bore sits in the middle for light clamping and short push moves. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost; for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. Mount with FB flange, CA or CB clevis, CR or FTC, on a PT (blank) or G port thread; the female rod end is M6x1.0. This model already carries the -S magnet code, so position sensing with CMSE / DMSE switches is ready to go.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the 25 mm bore pushes 245.4 N and pulls 206.2 N; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 343.6 N and pull to 288.6 N. The theoretical maximum is 50.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. In practice plan on about 147 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 12 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and speed 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose hard-anodized aluminium 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. Mount with FB flange, CA or CB clevis, CR or FTC on a PT or G port thread (M5x0.8 at this bore); the female rod end is M6x1.0. This -S model carries the optional magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be fitted for position signals. It does not lock or hold a load if air is lost - use a rod lock or pilot check valve where holding matters.
