Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED16X50S
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED16X50S 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 TACED16X50S
This is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: an 8 mm rod exits both covers of the 16 mm bore body, so the output force is EQUAL in both directions - 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa either way, with a peak of 15.4 kgf at 1.0 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 -S code on this model means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped onto the body slot for end-of-stroke sensing.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight slide assemblies and compact test fixtures. The bore is roller-burnished then hard-anodized aluminium, the rod is S45C steel with hard-chrome plating, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. Running 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-500 mm/s, a practical working figure is about 45 N of real push - and with a 2:1 margin it lifts about 3.8 kg vertically.

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 TACED16X50S Is Used
Compact test fixture clamping
The equal 75.4 N force in both directions clamps and releases a small PCB or lens holder with identical pressure, and the 50 mm stroke clears the loading hand in a benchtop tester.
Small-part diverting on conveyor lines
Twin guide rods keep the pusher blade square as it diverts vials or connectors off a packaging line, with CMSE switches (enabled by the fitted -S magnet) confirming each stroke.
Light gripper actuation
The non-rotating yoke holds gripper jaws aligned on an assembly cell picking plastic fittings, and the short body fits where a full-length ISO 15552 profile cylinder cannot.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED16X50S 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); step up to 20 mm if your fixture needs roughly half again more force. The 50 mm stroke is within the 75 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a catalogue item. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. Ports are M5x0.8, the female rod thread is M4x0.7, and FB flange or CA/CB/CR/FTC mounts can be specified.
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 TACED16X50S FAQ
Yes - because a rod exits both covers, both sides work on the rod-side area, so output is equal in extend and retract: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, peaking at 15.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um, and the 50 mm stroke is within the 75 mm standard maximum for a 16 mm bore.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with an S45C hard-chrome rod, threaded aluminium covers and a fixed TPU bumper at each end. This -S model carries the optional magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly in the body slot; models ordered without the -S code have no magnet. FB flange and CA/CB/CR/FTC mountings are available.
