Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED16X25S
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED16X25S 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 TACED16X25S
Double acting with a rod exiting both covers, the AirTAC TACED16X25S is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder that delivers 75.4 N in either direction at 0.5 MPa (105.6 N at 0.7 MPa), because both sides work on the same rod-side area. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry light side load, so a gripper or press plate stays square without an external guide. The 16 mm bore tops out at 15.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why this size suits tight jigs, small guarding and bench-top fixtures. In practice, plan for roughly 45 N (about 4.6 kgf) of real work at 0.5 MPa, and expect it to lift around 3.8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The S code means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be mounted on the body slots. Air supply is filtered to 40 um, pressure runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and a fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends.

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 TACED16X25S Is Used
Small-part ejection from fixtures
The 75.4 N through-rod clears a machined or molded part from a CNC jig in both directions, and the twin guide rods keep the pusher square to the pocket.
Clamping of delicate electronics housings
About 45 N of usable clamp force at 0.5 MPa holds a plastic enclosure without crushing it, and equal force both ways lets one cylinder load and unload.
Position feedback on a test bench
With the fitted magnet, CMSE or DMSE switches report end-of-stroke on a 25 mm verification slide inside a compact lab fixture.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED16X25S the Right Cylinder?
At 75.4 N per side, the 16 mm bore sits between the 12 mm bore (42.4 N) and the 20 mm bore (117.8 N) at 0.5 MPa. Pick this size when a small part must be pushed or gripped with equal force in both directions and the stroke is short. The 25 mm stroke is within the 75 mm standard range for bore 16; longer strokes are made to order. Air lost means the piston drifts, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if a position must be held. Ports are M5x0.8 and the rod end carries a female M4x0.7 thread; mounting is FB flange, and the fitted -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switch sensing.
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 TACED16X25S FAQ
Yes. Because a rod exits both covers, both strokes work on the rod-side area: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa, equal in each direction. At the full 1.0 MPa the 16 mm bore reaches 15.4 kgf. Never size the load above about 45 N at 0.5 MPa for a working margin.
The ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow fixtures. The S code means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount in the body slots. Ends stop on a fixed TPU bumper, ports are M5x0.8, the rod thread is female M4x0.7, and FB flange mounting is available.
