Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE25X5
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE25X5 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 5mm 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 TACE25X5
A double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the TACE25X5 pairs a 25 mm bore with a 5 mm stroke and a 10 mm hard-chrome-plated rod. 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 and 288.6 N, with a theoretical maximum of 50.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a gripper or clamp pad stays square without any external guide.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so this 5 mm version tucks into tight jigs and fixture plates where a full-length cylinder will not fit. Plan for roughly 147 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, about 60% of the push rating, which lifts about 12 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, the M5x0.8 port takes air filtered to 40 um, and the rod ends in a female M6x1.0 thread. No magnet is fitted on this version; order the -S code if CMSE or DMSE switch sensing is needed.

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 TACE25X5 Is Used
Fixture clamp in a 5 mm window
Clamps a machined aluminium bracket against a locating stop on a CNC fixture, where 245.4 N at 0.5 MPa holds the part and the twin-guide yoke keeps the clamp pad square to the datum.
Kick-off on a packaging line
A 5 mm push nudges off-spec cartons off a conveyor at up to 500 mm/s, and the short ISO 21287 body fits between guard rails where a longer cylinder cannot.
Connector seat at an assembly cell
Seats a board connector into its housing before a screwdriver cycle; with the optional -S magnet, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm both ends of the 5 mm move.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE25X5 the Right Cylinder?
For a 5 mm nudge or clamp stroke, bore 25 sits mid-range: bore 20 gives 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa if the load is lighter, while bore 32 raises that to 402.1 N for heavier tooling. Remember the piston drifts the moment air is lost, so a held position calls for a rod lock or a pilot check valve rather than the cylinder alone. Mounting choices are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC, and the optional -S magnet lets CMSE or DMSE switches report end positions; without -S there is no magnet in the cylinder.
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 TACE25X5 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the 25 mm bore 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 is 50.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure spans 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 hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbing end-of-stroke energy. FB, CA, CB, CR and FTC mountings are available. The magnet is the optional -S code: order TACE25X5S to run CMSE or DMSE switches, since this version ships with no magnet fitted.
