The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE25X30 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 30mm 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.
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the TACE25X30 pairs a 25 mm bore with a 30 mm stroke and a 10 mm S45C rod finished in hard chrome. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 245.4 N and pulls 206.2 N, rising to 343.6 N push and 288.6 N pull at 0.7 MPa. Twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a gripper or plate stays square without any external guide - a real edge over a plain compact cylinder.
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 body will not fit. For sizing, plan on roughly 147 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa (about 0.6 of the push rating), which lifts about 12 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body takes M5x0.8 ports and a female M6x1.0 rod thread. This version carries no magnet; order the optional -S code to enable CMSE / DMSE switches.

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.
On a small electronics assembly cell, 245.4 N at 0.5 MPa over a 30 mm travel seats light-duty bushings without overloading delicate housings.
The twin-guide yoke holds the stop blade square as cartons strike it at an angle, absorbing side load that would twist a plain compact cylinder.
Mounted behind parallel jaws, the non-rotating guide rods keep the grip plane true cycle after cycle, so no separate guide rail is needed on the tooling plate.
Compare both directions before you commit: the 20 mm bore gives 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa for lighter clamping, while the 32 mm bore reaches 402.1 N when the load grows. The 30 mm stroke sits well inside the standard range for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed runs 30-500 mm/s. Mounting choices are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC, with PT port threads. Note the piston drifts if air is lost - it never holds or brakes a load, so fit a rod lock or pilot check valve where a position must be kept. No magnet is fitted as standard; add the -S code if you need CMSE / DMSE position sensing.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 245.4 N and pulls 206.2 N. At 0.7 MPa the figures rise to 343.6 N push and 288.6 N pull. The theoretical maximum is 50.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed range 30-500 mm/s, and the fluid must be 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. Mounting options include FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC, with a female M6x1.0 rod thread and M5x0.8 ports. This model has no magnet; order the optional -S version to run CMSE or DMSE switches.
