Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED12X35
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED12X35 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø12mm bore and 35mm 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 TACED12X35
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the TACED12X35 delivers 42.4 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa (59.4 N at 0.7 MPa) because both chambers see the same rod-side area. The 12 mm bore drives a 6 mm rod over a 35 mm stroke, with a female M3x0.5 rod thread and an M5x0.8 port. Twin guide rods on the yoke keep the tooling from rotating, so a small gripper or plate stays square without an external guide.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why this size slips into slim pick-and-place heads and benchtop fixtures. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, and the hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod stands up to daily cycling. For real work, plan on roughly 25 N (about 2.6 kg) of usable push at 0.5 MPa, or a vertical lift of around 2 kg 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 (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 TACED12X35 Is Used
Micro part ejection
The equal 42.4 N thrust in both directions pushes tiny machined or molded parts off a nest and retracts the blade to the same force, all inside a 35 mm envelope.
Small gripper actuation
Twin guide rods stop the jaw carrier rotating on a benchtop pick-and-place head, gripping connectors or vials without an external guide rail.
Lab fixture press
About 2 kg of safe vertical lift suits sample pressing and lid seating in compact laboratory fixtures where a full-length cylinder will not fit.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED12X35 the Right Cylinder?
At 42.4 N per side, this bore suits light clamping and sensing fixtures; step up to the 16 mm bore (75.4 N) when loads grow, or drop to a smaller stroke variant if travel is short. The 35 mm stroke sits inside the 50 mm standard limit for bore 12, so it ships as a catalog item. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed runs 30-500 mm/s. This unit has no magnet fitted; order the -S code if you need CMSE or DMSE switch positions, and remember the piston drifts 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 TACED12X35 FAQ
Yes. Because a rod exits both covers, both strokes act on the rod-side area: 42.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 59.4 N at 0.7 MPa, equal in extend and retract. At 1.0 MPa the peak output is 8.6 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with an M5x0.8 port and a female M3x0.5 rod thread. Sensing needs the optional -S magnet code; this model (no S) has no magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches cannot be mounted until you order the -S version.
