Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED16X60
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED16X60 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 60mm 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 TACED16X60
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the TACED16X60 pushes a 16 mm bore through a 60 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers. Because each side sees the same rod-side area, output is equal in both directions: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 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 plate stays square without an external guide.
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 and guarding where a full-length body will not fit. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome plated rod, a fixed TPU bumper decelerates at each end, and the M5x0.8 ports suit small air lines. For sizing, plan on roughly 45 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 2 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 TACED16X60 Is Used
Small-part gripper
The equal 75.4 N grip in both directions and the non-rotating twin guide yoke let a pick head grasp nylon fittings on an assembly cell without twisting.
Push-pull slide gate
A rod exits both covers, so one cylinder advances and retracts a 60 mm slide on a packaging machine with identical force and no return spring.
Fixture presence check
With the optional -S magnet ordered, a CMSE or DMSE switch on the body confirms a 60 mm clamp stroke in a jig too short for a profile cylinder.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED16X60 the Right Cylinder?
At 75.4 N per side, the 16 mm bore sits between the 12 mm bore (42.4 N) and the 20 mm bore (117.8 N) at 0.5 MPa. Choose 16 mm when a small clamp or diverter needs equal force both ways inside a narrow envelope. The 60 mm stroke is within the 75 mm standard range for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. Mounting is FB flange; order the -S code if you later want CMSE / DMSE switches, since without -S there is no magnet.
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 TACED16X60 FAQ
Yes. The double-rod design 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), and speed range 30-500 mm/s.
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 shock. Sensing is not fitted as standard: order the optional -S magnet code to enable CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches on the body slots.
