The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE25X50S is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 50mm 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 TACE25X50S is a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 25 mm bore drives a 10 mm rod over a 50 mm stroke, and twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating while carrying side load. 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 peak of 50.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. In practice, plan for roughly 147 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 12 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.
Its hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated rod 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. The -S code on this model means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clamped into the body slots for end-of-stroke sensing. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, ports are M5x0.8, and the rod end carries a female M6x1.0 thread.

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.
Clamps plastic connector housings in a welding jig with about 147 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa; the twin guide rods keep the clamp pad square to the horn without an external guide.
Pushes cartons off a packaging conveyor at a sorting gate - the 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa over a 50 mm stroke clears the lane quickly at speeds up to 500 mm/s.
Drives compact gripper jaws on an electronics assembly robot; the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE or DMSE switches so the PLC confirms part presence each cycle.
For light clamping up to about 157 N at 0.5 MPa, the 20 mm bore is enough; step up to the 32 mm bore (402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa) when the fixture needs more muscle. This cylinder drifts when air is lost - it is not a lock or brake, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve wherever a load must stay held. Mounting choices are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC, and because the -S magnet is fitted on this model, CMSE / DMSE switches can report rod position straight away.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 245.4 N and pulls 206.2 N. At 0.7 MPa the push rises to 343.6 N with a pull of 288.6 N. The theoretical maximum is 50.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Keep real working loads near 147 N at 0.5 MPa so the cylinder is not run at its limit.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC mountings are available. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. Because this model carries the -S code, the magnet is fitted and CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted in the body slots.
