Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE25X55
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE25X55 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 55mm 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 TACE25X55
A double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder to ISO 21287, the TACE25X55 pairs a 25 mm bore with a 55 mm stroke in a hard-anodized aluminium body whose roller-burnished bore and S45C hard-chrome rod shrug off wear. Twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a gripper or plate stays square without an external guide. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 245.4 N and pulls 206.2 N; at 0.7 MPa those figures climb to 343.6 N and 288.6 N.
The short 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 cylinder will not fit. For sizing, treat about 147 N as the usable push at 0.5 MPa - roughly 12 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin (theoretical maximum 50.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa). The rod end is a female M6x1.0 thread, the port is M5x0.8 PT, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. No magnet is fitted; add the optional -S code for 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.
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 TACE25X55 Is Used
Gripper actuation on assembly cells
Twin guide rods keep a small pneumatic gripper square while it lifts aluminium housings off a fixture, with the 55 mm stroke clearing a 50 mm transfer step.
Tray push-off at packaging stations
245.4 N of push at 0.5 MPa slides blister trays into a carton chute; the compact body fits behind the guard where a full-length cylinder will not.
Connector press-fit in electronics test
The yoke keeps a press pad level for seating board-edge connectors, and the fixed TPU bumper softens the stop at both ends of the 55 mm stroke.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE25X55 the Right Cylinder?
At 245.4 N push (0.5 MPa) this 25 mm bore suits clamping and light pressing; step down to a 20 mm bore (157.1 N) for lighter loads or up to a 32 mm bore (402.1 N) if the job grows. It does not hold position when air is lost - pair it with a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. Mount with FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR or FTC feet, and order the optional -S magnet only if you need CMSE / DMSE position switches.
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 TACE25X55 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 245.4 N and pulls 206.2 N; at 0.7 MPa, 343.6 N push and 288.6 N pull; theoretical maximum 50.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is double acting on filtered air at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), running 30-500 mm/s between -20 and +70 C.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. Mounting choices are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC. Position sensing needs the optional -S magnet code, which allows CMSE / DMSE switches; without -S no magnet is fitted.
