The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE25X30S 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.
The TACE25X30S is a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 25 mm bore and 30 mm stroke in a short hard-anodized aluminium body that saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it drops into tight jigs and guarded stations. Twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, keeping a gripper or plate square without an external guide. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 245.4 N and pulls 206.2 N.
Because this is the -S variant, the magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clamped anywhere along the body slots to report end positions. For real-world sizing, plan on roughly 147 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which is about 12 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The S45C hard-chrome plated 10 mm rod runs on a two-way grease-retaining seal, fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke shock at both ends, and speed spans 30-500 mm/s 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.

| 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 an electronics assembly line, the twin-guide yoke lifts aluminium connector housings weighing up to about 12 kg equivalent vertically, with the fitted magnet confirming grip via a DMSE switch.
A 30 mm stroke clamps a bracket against a drill jig with 245.4 N at 0.5 MPa, and the non-rotating guide rods hold the clamp shoe square to the hole axis without extra guides.
In a compact injection mold, the short body ejects finished caps from a shallow cavity, where the 50%-shorter footprint fits space no full-length cylinder could occupy.
Size around the load: the next bore down, TACE20, delivers 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to TACE32 gives 402.1 N, so pick the 25 mm bore when your clamp or press force sits between roughly 150 N and 400 N. 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/CB clevis, CR or FTC, and keep the -S magnet order if position sensing with CMSE / DMSE switches is planned.
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. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi), running on air filtered to 40 um at 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 body is hard-anodized aluminium with threaded covers and a fixed TPU bumper at each end to absorb end-of-stroke energy. Mounting options are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC. As an -S model it carries the optional magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches mount in the body slots for position feedback; sensors are only usable when that -S magnet is specified.
