Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED16X10
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED16X10 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm 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 TACED16X10
Double acting with a through rod that exits both covers, the TACED16X10 delivers 75.4 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa (105.6 N at 0.7 MPa) because both chambers 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 16 mm bore takes an M5x0.8 port and an M4x0.7 female rod thread.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why this model slots into tight pick-and-place heads and compact test fixtures. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, the hard-anodized aluminium body resists wear, and the piston runs at 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um. For a real part weight, plan on roughly 45 N (about 4.6 kg) of usable push at 0.5 MPa, or lift about 3.8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Position sensing needs the optional -S magnet code; without it no CMSE or DMSE switch can be fitted.

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 (Ø16mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 75 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 106 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 15 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 TACED16X10 Is Used
Small-part ejection
The symmetric 75.4 N push and pull clears a finished 3 kg part from a machining nest in both stroke directions at up to 500 mm/s.
Compact test fixture clamp
Twin guide rods keep a small pressure pad square on a lab fixture, with the 10 mm stroke fitting inside a guarded benchtop enclosure.
Carton flap tuck
On a packaging line the non-rotating yoke folds a flap without twisting, and the short body mounts where a full-length cylinder will not.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED16X10 the Right Cylinder?
At 75.4 N per side this sits in the light-duty band: step down to the TACED12 (42.4 N) for tiny escapements, or up to the TACED20 (117.8 N) when a fixture needs more clamp. The 10 mm stroke suits short transfers and ejection jobs. It will not hold position if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. Order the -S code if CMSE / DMSE switches are planned, and pick FB flange, CA, CB, CR or FTC mounting with PT or G ports.
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 TACED16X10 FAQ
Force is equal in both directions because the double rod exposes the rod-side area to each chamber: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 15.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends absorb end-of-stroke energy. Position sensing requires ordering the optional -S magnet code, which then allows CMSE or DMSE switches to ride the body slots; without -S no magnet is fitted.
