Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE25X5S
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE25X5S 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 TACE25X5S
The TACE25X5S is a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 25 mm bore driving a 10 mm rod over a short 5 mm stroke. 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 rise to 343.6 N and 288.6 N, with a theoretical maximum of 50.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it drops into tight jigs and gantries where a full-length cylinder will not fit. The -S code on this model means the optional magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped straight into the body slots for end-of-stroke signals. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and the M6x1.0 female rod thread accepts standard tooling. Plan on roughly 147 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 12 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

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 TACE25X5S Is Used
Dowel-pin ejection from a machining nest
A 5 mm stroke is exactly what a strip-off move needs: the 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa nudges a finished dowel pin out of its press nest on a small CNC fixture, and the twin-guide yoke keeps the ejector blade from twisting.
Parallel-jaw gripper on a pick-and-place head
Mounted above a conveyor transfer, the non-rotating twin guide rods hold the gripper jaws perfectly parallel on 8 mm connectors, while the fitted magnet feeds a CMSE switch signal back to the PLC to confirm part capture.
Sample vial clamping in a lab autosampler
The short ISO 21287 body tucks inside a compact autosampler deck, and the 206.2 N pull force retracts a clamp arm onto 12 mm sample vials; a DMSE switch on the body confirms the clamp is seated before the aspiration cycle starts.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE25X5S the Right Cylinder?
Size both ways before you commit: the smaller bore 20 TACE gives 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to bore 32 raises it to 402.1 N. If your part weighs under about 12 kg and a 5 mm motion is all you need, this 25 mm bore sits in the sweet spot. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost, so for a load that must stay put add a rod lock or pilot check valve. Mounting choices are FB flange, CA or CB clevis, CR and FTC, with no rod-thread code on the yoke; the fitted -S magnet means CMSE / DMSE switches work out of the box.
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 TACE25X5S 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 at 1.0 MPa is 50.1 kgf. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and rod speed runs 30-500 mm/s. For real-world sizing, budget about 147 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa, enough to lift roughly 12 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with an S45C hard-chrome-plated 10 mm rod and a fixed TPU bumper at both ends. Mounting options are FB flange, CA or CB clevis, CR and FTC, and the air port is M5x0.8. Because this model carries the optional -S magnet, CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots. The rod end is a female M6x1.0 thread; for outline dimensions, confirm from datasheet.
