Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED16X50
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED16X50 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 50mm 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 TACED16X50
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the TACED16X50 pushes a rod out of both covers, so the 16 mm bore delivers the same 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa (105.6 N at 0.7 MPa) in extend and retract. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, keeping a gripper or plate square without an external guide. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures and guarding.
For sizing, treat about 45 N (0.6 x 75.4 N) as the usable working force at 0.5 MPa, and expect roughly 3.8 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome plated rod, a fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, and the piston runs at 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um 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 TACED16X50 Is Used
Small-part ejection from fixtures
The 75.4 N through-rod nudges machined bushings or stamped clips off a CNC jig, with the twin guide rods keeping the pusher square to the nest.
Parallel gripper actuation
Equal 75.4 N force in both directions drives a compact gripper on an electronics assembly cell, and the non-rotating yoke holds finger alignment.
Presence check with switching
Order the -S magnet and fit a CMSE or DMSE switch to confirm a 50 mm gate or tray position on a packaging line, all within the short ISO 21287 body.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED16X50 the Right Cylinder?
At 75.4 N per side, the 16 mm bore suits light clamping and small part transfer; step down to the 12 mm bore (42.4 N) for lighter loads or up to the 20 mm bore (117.8 N) when you need more push. Stroke 50 mm sits inside the 75 mm standard range for this bore. The rod end is female M4x0.7 and the port is M5x0.8; FB flange or CA/CB/CR/FTC mounts are available. This cylinder does not hold position if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. Order the -S code if you want the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches; without it no sensor can be fitted.
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 TACED16X50 FAQ
Yes. Because a rod exits both covers, both sides work on the rod-side area: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa, equal extend and retract. At 1.0 MPa the peak 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.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end to decelerate the piston. Mounting choices are FB flange or CA/CB/CR/FTC, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches when ordered.
