The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE25X25S is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 25mm 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.
Built to the ISO 21287 short-body format, the TACE25X25S is a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder: a 25 mm bore with a 25 mm stroke, twin guide rods on a yoke that stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, and a hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated 10 mm rod. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 245.4 N and pulls 206.2 N, and the short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and guarding where a full-length body will not fit.
A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, speed runs 30-500 mm/s, and the air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) filtered to 40 um. Because this model carries the optional -S magnet, CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted anywhere along the body slots. For sizing, treat roughly 147 N of the 0.5 MPa push as usable work; that is enough to lift about 25 kg on paper, or about 12 kg with a 2:1 margin.

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.
| 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.

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.
Ejects a machined aluminium boss from its nest on a rotary indexing table, where the 25 mm stroke clears the part and the twin-guide yoke keeps the pusher square to the nest.
Tucks the leading flap on a small carton sealing head; 245.4 N at 0.5 MPa is ample for light folding work and the short body fits inside the sealer frame.
Pushes populated PCB trays between test stations on an electronics line; the non-rotating twin guides keep the pusher plate aligned with the tray edge without an external guide.
Step down to the 20 mm bore (157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa) when the load is lighter and the pocket is tighter, or step up to the 32 mm bore (402.1 N push) when the fixture needs more clamping force. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost, so a load that must stay put calls for a rod lock or a pilot check valve in the circuit. Mounting choices are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC, and since the -S magnet is fitted on this model, CMSE / DMSE switches can be added without reordering the cylinder.
Quick checklist
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 at 1.0 MPa is 50.1 kgf. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end to absorb end-of-stroke shock. Mounting options are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC. Because this model carries the optional -S magnet, CMSE or DMSE switches can be clipped into the body slots for end-of-stroke signalling; without the -S code there is no magnet.
