Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED16X30S
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED16X30S is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 30mm 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 TACED16X30S
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the TACED16X30S pushes a rod out of 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 light side load, so a small gripper or pusher plate stays square without an external guide. The optional -S magnet is fitted on this model, letting CMSE or DMSE switches report position along the body slots.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it drops into tight fixtures, small guarding panels and bench-top stations. A hard-anodized aluminium body with an 8 mm S45C hard-chrome rod, a fixed TPU bumper at each end and M5x0.8 ports keep it simple to install. At 0.5 MPa, plan on roughly 45 N of usable work, and the rod will lift 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 TACED16X30S Is Used
Small-part gripper
The twin guide yoke keeps miniature gripper jaws from rotating when picking connectors or vials, with 75.4 N of equal closing and opening force at 0.5 MPa.
Push-pull slide station
A rod exits both covers, so one 30 mm stroke can eject a part on one side and reset a stop on the other at identical 75.4 N force.
Indexed test fixture
With the fitted -S magnet, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm clamp position on a PCB or sensor test nest running at 30-500 mm/s.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED16X30S the Right Cylinder?
At 75.4 N per direction, this 16 mm bore sits above the 12 mm size (42.4 N) and below the 20 mm size (117.8 N) at 0.5 MPa - pick it when a small clamp or transfer head needs equal force on extend and retract. It does not hold position if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a suspended load. Stroke 30 mm is within the 75 mm standard range for bore 16; FB flange, CA, CB, CR or FTC mounts and G thread are order options.
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 TACED16X30S FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means both directions work on the rod-side area, so output is equal: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, with a maximum of 15.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow jigs and guarded cells. The S in TACED16X30S means the optional magnet is fitted, enabling CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches; without -S there is no magnet. A fixed TPU bumper at each rod end absorbs end-of-stroke shock.
