Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED12X35S
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED12X35S 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 TACED12X35S
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the TACED12X35S pushes and pulls with the same 42.4 N at 0.5 MPa (59.4 N at 0.7 MPa) because each side works on the rod-side area. The 12 mm bore drives a 6 mm rod through a 35 mm stroke, and twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating while carrying side load, so a small gripper or plate stays square with no external guide. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed runs 30-500 mm/s, and the -S code on this model means the magnet is fitted for CMSE / DMSE switches.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with a roller-burnished bore and an S45C hard-chrome plated rod is an ISO 21287 short-body build that saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight fixtures and small automation frames. Fixed TPU bumpers at both ends absorb end-of-stroke shock, and the female M3x0.5 rod thread takes standard tooling. At 0.5 MPa plan on roughly 25 N (about 2.5 kg) of usable vertical work, a 60% margin below the rating, so match parts up to around 2.5 kg for lifting duty.

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 TACED12X35S Is Used
Small-part ejection from micro moulds
The equal 42.4 N push and pull at 0.5 MPa clears a finished connector or pin from a micro mould cavity and retracts with the same force, while the twin guide yoke keeps the ejector plate square.
Vision-checked pick-and-place on SMT benches
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm both end positions, and the non-rotating twin rods hold a vacuum cup or gripper aligned over a 35 mm transfer of PCBs or ceramic substrates.
Lab sample press and dip stations
The 12 mm bore applies a gentle, repeatable 59.4 N at 0.7 MPa to dip probes or press sample vials into racks, and the compact short body fits inside benchtop enclosures where a full-length profile cylinder will not.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED12X35S the Right Cylinder?
At 42.4 N both ways this bore 12 size suits light clamping, sorting and sensor-checked pick-and-place; step down is not available in this series, while the next size up, the 16 mm bore, delivers 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa if you need more. The 35 mm stroke sits inside the 50 mm maximum standard stroke for bore 12, so it is a catalogue item. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be added for end-position detection, and the female M3x0.5 rod thread plus FB flange or CA/CB/CR/FTC mounts cover most fixture needs. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost, so use a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must be held.
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 TACED12X35S FAQ
Yes. Because a rod exits both covers, both strokes work on the rod-side area, so force 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. For real work plan on about 25 N (roughly 2.5 kg vertical) to keep a margin. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 30-500 mm/s, and the piston will drift if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for held loads.
It is an ISO 21287 short-body cylinder whose hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits tight jigs and small guards. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped into the body slots for end-position signals; the female M3x0.5 rod thread and FB, CA, CB, CR or FTC mountings cover fixture integration.
