Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED16X70S
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED16X70S 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 TACED16X70S
Double acting and double rod, the TACED16X70S pushes with 75.4 N and pulls with the same 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa, because a rod exits both covers and each side works on the rod-side area. At 0.7 MPa the force rises to 105.6 N in either direction. The 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.
This is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder: the short hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it drops into tight fixtures a full-length body cannot. The 70 mm stroke sits inside the 75 mm standard range for bore 16. For sizing, plan on roughly 45 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, and expect about 3.8 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The S code means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be added.

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 TACED16X70S Is Used
Small-part gripper on a pick-and-place arm
The 75.4 N grip force in both directions and the non-rotating twin guide yoke keep delicate electronic components square between the jaws, with CMSE switches confirming open and closed positions.
Lab sample press with dual-side actuation
A rod exits both covers, so one cylinder can press a vial cap on the extend stroke and eject the sample on retract, both at 105.6 N when run at 0.7 MPa.
Sorting gate on a compact conveyor line
The short ISO 21287 body fits under low conveyor guarding where a full-length profile cylinder will not, and the 70 mm stroke flips a diverter plate between two lanes.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED16X70S the Right Cylinder?
Bore 16 sits between the 12 mm (42.4 N at 0.5 MPa) and 20 mm (117.8 N at 0.5 MPa) frames. If your part weighs under about 3.8 kg and you need equal force on extend and retract, this is the right class; step up to bore 20 for heavier tooling. Note the piston drifts when air is lost - it never locks or holds a load, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if you need a held position. The female M4x0.7 rod thread on both ends takes standard tooling plates, and the optional -S magnet on this model pairs with CMSE / DMSE switches for end-of-stroke signals.
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 TACED16X70S FAQ
Yes - it is a double-rod cylinder, so output force is equal on extend and retract. At 0.5 MPa you get 75.4 N each way; at 0.7 MPa, 105.6 N each way. The maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 15.4 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed range is 30-500 mm/s.
The S code means the optional -S magnet is fitted on this model, so AirTAC CMSE reed or DMSE solid-state switches can be clamped anywhere along the body slots for position signals. The cylinder itself is an ISO 21287 compact design with a hard-anodized aluminium body about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, a fixed TPU bumper at each end to absorb end-of-stroke impact, and a hard-chrome plated S45C rod on both covers with M4x0.7 female threads.
