The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE25X80 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 80mm 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.
A double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the TACE25X80 pairs a 25 mm bore with an 80 mm stroke and a 10 mm S45C piston rod finished in hard chrome. 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, 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 mounting plate stays square without any external guide.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it fits tight jigs, guarding and gantry arms. For sizing, plan on roughly 147 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa (about 0.6 of the push figure), enough to lift about 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, air is filtered to 40 um, pressure runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed spans 30-500 mm/s. The optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches; without that code no sensor can be mounted.

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.
With 245.4 N of push at 0.5 MPa and twin guide rods keeping the jaws from rotating, this 25 mm bore handles small-part gripping on assembly robots without an external guide.
The 80 mm stroke retracts the clamp fully clear for part loading, and the short ISO 21287 body fits inside fixture plates where a longer profile cylinder will not.
About 147 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa pushes cartons off a conveyor lane, while the fixed TPU bumpers soften the stroke ends during continuous cycling at up to 500 mm/s.
Step down to a TACE16X80 if your load needs only about 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa; step up to a TACE32X80 when you need 402.1 N or more. Remember this cylinder does not hold position when air is lost - the piston drifts - so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. Mount it FB, CA, CB, CR or FTC, and order the -S code if position detection with CMSE / DMSE switches is planned. The rod end carries a female M6x1.0 thread and the port is PT.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the 25 mm bore 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. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
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 aluminium covers threaded onto the body for service. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. Mounting options are FB, CA, CB, CR and FTC. Sensors need the optional -S magnet code - CMSE / DMSE switches then mount in the body slots; without -S there is no magnet and no sensing.
