Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED16X45S
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED16X45S is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 45mm 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 TACED16X45S
This is a double acting, double rod AirTAC TACED16X45S: an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a 16 mm bore and 45 mm stroke, where a rod exits both covers so the output force is equal in each direction (75.4 N at 0.5 MPa, 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa). Twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a small gripper or plate stays square without an external guide. The hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it drops into tight jigs and guarding where a full-length body will not fit.
Practically, plan on roughly 45 N of real work at 0.5 MPa rather than the full 75.4 N rating, and on the vertical side this bore lifts about 3.8 kg with a 2:1 margin. The S code on this model means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped into the body slots for end-of-stroke sensing. A fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke energy, the rod is S45C steel with hard-chrome plating and an M4x0.7 female thread, and the port is M5x0.8.

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 TACED16X45S Is Used
Small-part gripper on a pick-and-place head
Equal 75.4 N closing and opening force plus the non-rotating yoke keeps the jaws square on connector or vial picking without an external guide.
Sample pusher in a lab autosampler
The short ISO 21287 body and 45 mm stroke slide trays in tight instrument frames, and the -S magnet feeds CMSE switch signals to the controller.
Light press-fit of bearings in electronics assembly
About 45 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa is enough for small bushings and connectors, with the twin guide rods resisting side load during the press.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED16X45S the Right Cylinder?
At 75.4 N per direction this 16 mm bore sits between the 12 mm TACED (42.4 N) and the 20 mm TACED (117.8 N), so step up to bore 20 if your clamp or lift needs more margin. The 45 mm stroke is well inside the 75 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a standard build. Remember it does not hold position when air is lost - the piston drifts - so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. FB flange, CA, CB, CR and FTC mountings are available, and the fitted -S magnet pairs with CMSE / DMSE switches.
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 TACED16X45S FAQ
Yes. Because a rod exits both covers, both directions see the rod-side area: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa, equal in extend and retract. At 1.0 MPa the maximum is 15.4 kgf. 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.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body and threaded aluminium covers, saving about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. This TACED16X45S carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount in the body slots; models without the S code have no magnet. Mounting options include FB flange, CA, CB, CR and FTC.
