Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED16X60S
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED16X60S 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 TACED16X60S
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the TACED16X60S pushes a 16 mm bore through a 60 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers. Because each side sees the rod-side area, output is equal both ways: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop tooling rotation and carry light side load, so a 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, letting it slot into tight fixtures and guarding. The -S code on this model means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted anywhere along the body slots. Plan on roughly 45 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, and note the rod-side area lifts about 3.8 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 TACED16X60S Is Used
Small-part ejection from machining fixtures
The twin guide rods push finished 20-40 mm aluminium pins off a CNC jig squarely at 75.4 N, with the 60 mm stroke clearing the fixture in one move and the TPU bumper quieting each end of stroke.
Bidirectional pusher on electronics conveyor lines
Equal 105.6 N force in either direction at 0.7 MPa lets one cylinder divert PCB trays left or right on a SMT line, while CMSE switches on the -S magnet confirm each divert position.
Sample plate indexing in lab automation
The non-rotating yoke keeps microplate carriers square through 60 mm index moves, and the compact body fits inside the tight deck frame where a full-length profile cylinder will not.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED16X60S the Right Cylinder?
At 75.4 N both ways at 0.5 MPa, this 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 20 mm (117.8 N) if you need more margin. The 60 mm stroke sits inside the 75 mm standard range for this bore. If your process must hold position when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check valve, since the piston will drift. Female M4x0.7 rod thread, M5x0.8 ports, and FB flange mounting are available; the -S magnet on this model enables CMSE / DMSE switch sensing.
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 TACED16X60S FAQ
Yes. As a double-rod cylinder, a rod exits both covers and both sides see the rod-side area, so force 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 range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed is 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow gantries and guarded cells. This -S version carries the optional magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches clip into the body slots for end-of-stroke or mid-stroke sensing. Mounting is FB flange, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke impact.
