Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED16X10S
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED16X10S 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 TACED16X10S
Double acting and double rod, the TACED16X10S pushes a rod out of BOTH covers, so its 75.4 N output at 0.5 MPa (105.6 N at 0.7 MPa) is identical in each direction - the rod-side area works both ways. The 16 mm bore drives an 8 mm rod over a 10 mm stroke through an M5x0.8 port, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end and speed control across 30-500 mm/s. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a small gripper or plate stays square without an external guide.
The body is a hard-anodized aluminium ISO 21287 compact build - about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder - so it slots into tight fixtures and guarding. Because the -S code is on this model, the magnet is fitted and CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clamped anywhere along the body. Plan your real work around roughly 45 N (about 4.6 kg) rather than the full rating, and note it lifts about 3.8 kg vertically 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 (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 TACED16X10S Is Used
Small-part gripper on pick stations
Equal 75.4 N grip in both directions and a non-rotating yoke keep tiny plastic housings square in the jaws of an electronics pick-and-place head.
Micro press for connector assembly
The 10 mm stroke and twin guide rods deliver a short, straight 75.4 N press for seating contacts and terminals in PCB connector crimps.
Position-flagged slide in test rigs
With the fitted -S magnet, CMSE / DMSE switches report end positions on a 10 mm shuttle used to index samples in a laboratory test fixture.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED16X10S the Right Cylinder?
At 75.4 N per direction, this 16 mm bore suits light clamping and small-part transfer; drop to the 12 mm bore (42.4 N) for tiny loads or step up to the 20 mm bore (117.8 N) if your fixture needs more grip. The 10 mm stroke sits well inside the 75 mm standard limit for this bore, so it ships as a catalogue item. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) filtered to 40 um. It does not hold position when air is lost - the piston drifts - so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. Mounting is FB flange; the female M4x0.7 rod thread takes standard tooling plates.
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 TACED16X10S FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means a rod exits both covers and both strokes see the rod-side area, so force is equal in each direction: 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 range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, air filtered to 40 um.
The hard-anodized aluminium ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so the 16 mm bore fits shallow fixtures and guarded cells. The S in TACED16X10S means the optional magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted on the body slots for end-of-stroke signalling. A fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke energy at both ends, and the FB flange mounting plus female M4x0.7 rod thread accepts standard tooling.
