Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED12X10
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED12X10 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø12mm bore and 10mm 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 TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED12X10
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the TACED12X10 pushes and pulls with identical force: 42.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 59.4 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, because both chambers see the same rod-side area. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry light side load, so a small gripper or plate stays square without an external guide. The 12 mm bore runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), with speed from 30 to 500 mm/s.
This ISO 21287 compact body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures and small test rigs. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a hard-chrome plated S45C rod, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. For vertical work, halving the 0.5 MPa force gives a practical lift of about 2 kg, a useful match for small part weights.

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 (Ø12mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 42 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 59 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 9 kgf |
Double-rod: a rod exits both covers, so output force is equal in both directions (rod-side area used). Twin guide rods carry the side load and stop the tooling rotating.

Where the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED12X10 Is Used
Small-part gripper
The equal 42.4 N grip and release force in both directions suits pick-and-place of connectors or vials, with the twin guide yoke keeping gripper jaws aligned.
Lab test station pusher
A 10 mm stroke at 30-500 mm/s ejects sample trays from a compact fixture, and the short ISO 21287 body fits where a full-length cylinder cannot.
Micro press assist
About 2 kg of practical vertical force at 0.5 MPa is enough to seat small terminals or labels on an assembly bench without marking the part.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED12X10 the Right Cylinder?
At 42.4 N per direction, this 12 mm bore suits light clamping and small-part handling; step up to the 16 mm bore (75.4 N at 0.5 MPa) for a bit more margin, or down is not available since 12 mm is the smallest. The 10 mm stroke is well inside the 50 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. The rod end is female M3x0.5 and the port is M5x0.8 PT; FB flange, CA, CB, CR and FTC mountings are available. This model has no magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches cannot be used unless you order the -S variant. It does not hold position when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load.
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 TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED12X10 FAQ
Yes. Because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area, so output is equal either way: 42.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 59.4 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 8.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and speed is 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. Sensors are possible only on the -S version, which carries the optional magnet for CMSE or DMSE switches; this standard TACED12X10 has no magnet, so no switch can be mounted.
