Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE25X15
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE25X15 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 15mm 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 TACE25X15
The AirTAC TACE25X15 delivers double acting power in a 25 mm bore with a 15 mm stroke, pushing 245.4 N and pulling 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa. Twin guide rods ride on a yoke, so the rod cannot rotate and side load is carried by the guides instead of the seal - a gripper or plate stays square without an external guide. The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it drops into tight jigs, guards and gantries.
At 0.5 MPa that 245.4 N push means roughly 147 N of usable work force, and a vertical lift of about 25 kg that drops to around 12 kg once you keep a 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body pairs with an S45C hard-chrome rod, a fixed TPU bumper takes the end-of-stroke hit at both ends, and the female M6x1.0 rod thread is ready for your tooling. Speed range is 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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø25mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 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.

Where the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE25X15 Is Used
Vacuum pick-and-place on an SMT feeder
The 15 mm stroke and short ISO 21287 body fit inside a tight feeder head, while the twin-guide yoke keeps the vacuum cup from twisting as it lifts PCB panels.
Carton flap tuck on a packaging line
245.4 N of push at 0.5 MPa folds small carton flaps, and the compact body mounts behind the guard where a full-length cylinder will not fit.
Benchtop press for connector pin seating
At 0.7 MPa the push climbs to 343.6 N, enough to seat pins in small connectors, and the non-rotating guides keep the punch die aligned with the housing.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE25X15 the Right Cylinder?
At 245.4 N push, this 25 mm bore sits between the 20 mm bore (157.1 N at 0.5 MPa) and the 32 mm bore (402.1 N at 0.5 MPa) - step down for light loads, step up once your working force passes about 147 N. Air off means the piston drifts, so hold a load with a rod lock or pilot check valve. Match FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR or FTC mounting to the jig, and add the optional -S magnet if CMSE or DMSE switches are planned.
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 TACE25X15 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it 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. The rod is 10 mm with an M6x1.0 female thread, and the air port is M5x0.8.
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 the end-of-stroke impact. Mounting choices are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC. Sensors need the optional -S magnet code - without it no magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE switches cannot be read.
