Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED12X10S
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED12X10S 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 TACED12X10S
Double acting with a double rod that exits both covers, the TACED12X10S pushes and pulls with the same 42.4 N at 0.5 MPa (59.4 N at 0.7 MPa) because both sides work on the 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 suits micro-assembly work where every millimetre of length counts.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, letting this unit sit inside tight fixtures and guarding. Because the model carries the optional -S magnet, CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be fitted for end-of-stroke sensing. Plan on roughly 25 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 2 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin - enough for small covers, chips or connector blocks.

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 TACED12X10S Is Used
Micro part ejection
The 42.4 N through-rod push nudges small stamped terminals or plastic caps off a nest, with the twin guide rods keeping the ejector pin aligned.
Small gripper clamping
Equal 42.4 N grip in both directions clamps lightweight housings between rubber jaws, and the non-rotating yoke holds jaw orientation without extra guiding.
Presence check with sensing
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm the 10 mm probe stroke has reached the part on a PCB test fixture.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED12X10S the Right Cylinder?
At 42.4 N per direction this 12 mm bore sits at the bottom of the TACED range; step up to the 16 mm bore for 75.4 N or down is not available. Stroke 10 mm is well inside the 50 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a catalogue item. The rod end is female M3x0.5 and the air port is M5x0.8. Note the piston will drift if air is lost - for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. FB flange mounting is available if the twin guide yoke needs bolting to a plate.
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 TACED12X10S FAQ
Yes - the double rod means a rod exits both covers, so force is equal in push and pull: 42.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 59.4 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction. At 1.0 MPa the maximum is 8.6 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, air filtered to 40 um, speed 30-500 mm/s, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose short hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, ideal for tight jigs. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots. Mounting is FB flange; the rod end is female M3x0.5 and the port is M5x0.8.
