Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED16X70
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED16X70 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 70mm 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 TACED16X70
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the TACED16X70 pushes a 16 mm bore through a 70 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers. Because both chambers see the rod-side area, output is 75.4 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry light 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 makes this 70 mm stroke easy to fit inside tight fixtures and guarding. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a hard-chrome S45C rod, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. In practice, plan on roughly 45 N (about 4.6 kg of force) of usable work at 0.5 MPa, or lift 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 TACED16X70 Is Used
Small-part gripper
The twin guide yoke keeps compact gripper jaws from rotating when picking connectors or vials, with 75.4 N of closing force in both directions at 0.5 MPa.
Push-off on assembly lines
A 70 mm stroke nudges rejected bottles or brackets off a conveyor inside tight guarding, where the short ISO 21287 body saves roughly half the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
Lab sample press
Equal 75.4 N force both ways presses microplate seals or caps in benchtop diagnostic equipment, with the M5x0.8 ports keeping plumbing minimal.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED16X70 the Right Cylinder?
At 75.4 N per side, 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 the 20 mm bore (117.8 N) when you need more push. The 70 mm stroke sits inside the 75 mm standard limit for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. The rod ends in a female M4x0.7 thread and ports are M5x0.8 with PT thread. There is no magnet on this version; order the TACED16X70S if you want CMSE or DMSE switch sensing, and remember the piston drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load.
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 TACED16X70 FAQ
Yes. As a double-rod cylinder, the rod-side area works on both strokes, so output is 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction. The maximum rating is 15.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed range is 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 compact body is hard-anodized aluminium with an S45C hard-chrome rod, and it saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke impact. Sensing needs the optional -S magnet (TACED16X70S) to work with CMSE or DMSE switches; this non-S model carries no magnet. FB flange, CA, CB, CR and FTC mountings are available, and G ports can be ordered instead of PT.
