Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE25X15S
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE25X15S 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 TACE25X15S
The TACE25X15S is a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, pairing a 25 mm bore with a short 15 mm stroke in a hard-anodized aluminium body and 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 push and 288.6 N pull, with a theoretical peak of 50.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Plan for roughly 147 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa - about 60% of the rated force - which corresponds to lifting a part of about 12 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The short 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 fit. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted for end-of-stroke sensing, 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.
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 TACE25X15S Is Used
Electronics pick-and-place head
On a PCB handling gantry, the twin-guide yoke keeps the vacuum plate square over a 15 mm transfer, and the 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa lifts about 12 kg of fixture and board carrier with a 2:1 margin.
Packaging flap diverter
A short 15 mm throw is ideal for kicking cartons between two lanes on a food packaging line; the compact body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder inside guarded frames.
Fixture clamp with position check
On an automotive welding fixture, the fitted -S magnet drives a CMSE or DMSE switch to confirm full clamp before the robot welds, while the twin guide rods stop the clamp pad rotating under side load.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE25X15S the Right Cylinder?
For this job class, a 20 mm bore gives 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa and suits lighter clamping, while stepping up to 32 mm buys 402.1 N for heavier tooling - the 25 mm bore at 245.4 N sits between them. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost, so for a load that must stay put add a rod lock or pilot check valve. Mounting choices are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC, the rod end is a female M6x1.0 thread, and the M5x0.8 PT port keeps plumbing small. If position feedback is needed, this -S variant already carries the magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches; standard strokes for bore 25 run to 150 mm, so the 15 mm stroke is a catalogue size.
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 TACE25X15S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 245.4 N and pulls 206.2 N. At 0.7 MPa the push rises to 343.6 N and the pull to 288.6 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 50.1 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and speed runs 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um.
The ISO 21287 short 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 it with FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR or FTC; the rod end is a female M6x1.0 thread and the port is M5x0.8 (PT). Because this model carries the optional -S magnet, CMSE or DMSE switches can be fitted for stroke-end signals. It does not hold position when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load.
