The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE25X45S is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 45mm 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 as a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder, the AirTAC TACE25X45S uses a 25 mm bore and 45 mm stroke to push 245.4 N and pull 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa, rising to 343.6 N on the extend stroke at 0.7 MPa. The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs, guards and gantry heads where a full-length cylinder will not fit. Twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, holding a gripper or plate square with no external guide.
For real work, plan on roughly 147 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 12 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin - enough for small aluminium parts or a light clamp plate. This S-coded model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted in the body slots for end-of-stroke sensing. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, the S45C hard-chrome rod runs in a hard-anodized aluminium body, and the female M6x1.0 rod thread with M5x0.8 ports keeps plumbing simple. Speed range is 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.

| 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.
Twin guide rods stop the gripper rotating as it lifts housings off a CNC fixture; with about 12 kg of vertical lift at a 2:1 margin, the 45 mm stroke clears the part and returns inside a compact cell.
The 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa (343.6 N at 0.7 MPa) stakes small terminals or rivets on connector boards, and the yoke keeps the punch square to the die without a separate guide bushing.
Mounted on an FTC foot bracket beside the conveyor, the non-rotating rod swings a sorting flap squarely into the product stream, and the optional -S magnet feeds CMSE switch signals back to the PLC at each end.
At 245.4 N push and 206.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa, the 25 mm bore sits between the 20 mm bore (157.1 N push) and the 32 mm bore (402.1 N push); step down if your load is under 150 N, step up once you pass 300 N. The piston drifts if air is lost - it never locks or brakes - so add a rod lock or pilot check valve wherever a load must stay put. FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC mountings cover most frames, and because this is the S version the magnet is already in place for CMSE / DMSE switches. Strokes to 150 mm are standard for this bore, so 45 mm is comfortably inside the catalogue range.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 245.4 N and pulls 206.2 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 343.6 N and pulls 288.6 N. The theoretical maximum is 50.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Supply air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and the rod travels at 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 absorbing end-of-stroke energy. Mounting options are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC. The S in TACE25X45S means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots; a model ordered without -S carries no magnet.
