Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED16X25
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED16X25 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 25mm 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 TACED16X25
This is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a rod exits both covers, so the 16 mm bore delivers an equal 75.4 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa (105.6 N at 0.7 MPa). 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 short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight fixture plates and guarding where a full-length body cannot.
Practical sizing: plan on roughly 45 N of real work at 0.5 MPa (about 0.6 of the rating), which lifts about 4 kg vertically - and about 2 kg with a 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome plated 8 mm rod, a fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke shock at both ends, and the port is M5x0.8. The magnet is the optional -S code; without it no CMSE / DMSE switch can be fitted. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).

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 TACED16X25 Is Used
Small-part gripper on pick-and-place arms
The 75.4 N grip in both directions and the non-rotating twin guide keep tiny electronic or watch parts held square through 25 mm of travel.
Fixture clamp inside a compact jig
With about 50% less mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, the body fits between close fixture walls where longer cylinders will not.
Position-flagged ejector on a test bench
Order the -S magnet and CMSE / DMSE switches confirm extend and retract of a 25 mm eject stroke on semiconductor or lab test fixtures.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED16X25 the Right Cylinder?
At 75.4 N per direction this bore suits light clamping and small-part transfer; step down to the 12 mm bore (42.4 N) for lighter tooling or up to the 20 mm bore (117.8 N) when the load grows. Strokes to 75 mm are standard for this bore, so 25 mm is off-the-shelf. If the position must hold when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check valve - the cylinder itself drifts. Order the -S code if CMSE / DMSE switches are planned, and choose FB flange, CA/CB/CR or FTC mounting to suit the machine frame. Rod thread is female M4x0.7; PT ports as standard (G on request).
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 TACED16X25 FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal in both directions: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa, peaking at 15.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure 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 temperature -20 to +70 C.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome 8 mm rod, threaded aluminium covers and a fixed TPU bumper at both ends - about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. Switches are not standard: order the optional -S magnet to enable CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches; without -S there is no magnet. Mounting options are FB flange, CA, CB, CR and FTC.
