The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE25X80S 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.
Double acting and non-rotating, the AirTAC TACE25X80S is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a 25 mm bore and 80 mm stroke: 245.4 N push and 206.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa. 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. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it drops into tight jigs, guards and gantries where a full-length cylinder will not fit.
At 0.5 MPa, plan for roughly 147 N of usable push (about 0.6 of the 245.4 N rating), which lifts about 12 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body runs an S45C hard-chrome plated rod, a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs stroke-end shock, and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches for end-position sensing. Supply air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, M5x0.8 port, female rod thread M6x1.0.

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.
On an electronics assembly cell, the twin-guide yoke keeps a vacuum cup plate square over a PCB tray while the 80 mm stroke crosses a fixture rail; 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa handles the downstroke with margin.
Mounted under a carton sealer, the cylinder retracts a flap tucker with 206.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and the 80 mm stroke clears the product stream between cartons at up to 500 mm/s.
A non-rotating squaring plate pushed by the 25 mm bore lines up small vials on a lab filler conveyor; the guide rods stop the plate twisting, and the fitted -S magnet with a DMSE switch confirms the plate is home.
Sizing both ways: the bore 20 TACE20X80S gives 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, while bore 32 reaches 402.1 N at the same pressure. This 25 mm bore sits between them with 245.4 N push and 206.2 N pull, enough for a 12 kg vertical lift at a 2:1 margin. The 80 mm stroke is inside the standard range for this bore, so no made-to-order length is required. Note that the piston drifts when air is lost - it never holds or brakes a load - so add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a position must be kept. FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC mountings suit the yoke, and because the -S magnet is fitted on this model, CMSE / DMSE switches can be added straight into the body slots.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it 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 is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). For real work, count on about 147 N of push at 0.5 MPa, roughly a 12 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.
It is an ISO 21287 short-body cylinder: hard-anodized aluminium body with a roller-burnished bore, S45C hard-chrome rod, threaded aluminium covers and a fixed TPU bumper at each end. The body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. Mounting options are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC. The -S magnet is fitted on this model, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots; the female rod thread is M6x1.0 and the port is M5x0.8.
