Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED16X35S
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED16X35S is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 35mm 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 TACED16X35S
This TACED16X35S is a double acting, double rod compact cylinder to ISO 21287: an 8 mm rod leaves both covers, so the 16 mm bore delivers the same 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 pusher plate stays square without an external guide. The -S code on this model means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clamped straight onto 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 suits slim pick-and-place heads and guarded test stations. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, and the hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated rod stands up to daily cycling. For sizing, treat roughly 45 N (about 0.6 of the rating) as the usable working force, which is a vertical lift of about 3.8 kg with a 2:1 margin - enough for small plastic housings, PCB carriers or light fixture plates.

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 TACED16X35S Is Used
Small-parts ejection from assembly nests
The twin guide rods keep the ejector pin square in a 35 mm throw, and the equal 75.4 N push and pull at 0.5 MPa retracts the tooling as firmly as it advances.
Clamping PCB carriers in test fixtures
About 45 N of usable clamp force holds a lightweight fixture plate steady, while the fitted -S magnet feeds CMSE or DMSE switch signals to confirm clamp and release.
Diverting cartons on a packaging line
The compact body, roughly half the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, slots between conveyor frames, and the non-rotating yoke keeps the diverter blade aligned.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED16X35S the Right Cylinder?
At 75.4 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, the 16 mm bore sits between the 12 mm bore (42.4 N) and the 20 mm bore (117.8 N), so step up to 20 mm if your tooling mass grows or drop to 12 mm for pure sensing duty. The 35 mm stroke is well inside the 75 mm standard limit for this bore, so no made-to-order stroke is needed. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with M5x0.8 ports, speed range 30-500 mm/s, and the female M4x0.7 rod thread takes standard tooling plates. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a held position matters. FB flange, CA, CB, CR and FTC mountings are available, and PT port threading is standard (order the G code for BSPP).
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 TACED16X35S FAQ
Yes - the double rod means both sides see the rod-side area, so output is equal both ways: 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), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 35 mm stroke is within the 75 mm standard stroke for the 16 mm bore.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy without adjustment. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be mounted in the body slots for position feedback. FB flange and CA, CB, CR, FTC mountings are available; for outline dimensions, confirm from datasheet.
