Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X25
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X25 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 25mm 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 TACED20X25
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the TACED20X25 has a rod leaving both covers, so the 20 mm bore delivers 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa in each direction - the rod-side area is identical on both sides. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a gripper or fixture plate stays square without an external guide. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it drops into tight jigs and gantries.
The hard-anodized aluminium body carries M5x0.8 ports, and the S45C hard-chrome plated rod runs on a two-way seal that stores grease, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end to absorb end-of-stroke shock. For planning, treat roughly 70 N (0.6 of the 117.8 N rating) as usable work at 0.5 MPa, or about 6 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). Note the magnet is not fitted on this code - order the -S variant if you need CMSE / DMSE switch sensing.

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 (Ø20mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 118 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 165 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 24 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 TACED20X25 Is Used
Fixture clamping in tight dies
The 117.8 N both-ways force and 25 mm stroke suit swing clamps and locators inside a press die, where the compact body fits where a full-length profile cylinder cannot.
Small-part gripper actuation
Twin guide rods keep gripper jaws from rotating on electronics assembly lines, handling connectors and PCB trays up to about 6 kg vertically with margin.
Push-pull test slides
Equal 117.8 N force in extend and retract makes this bore a fit for bench-top fatigue and functional test rigs that stroke a probe or sample 25 mm each cycle.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X25 the Right Cylinder?
At 117.8 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 20 mm bore sits between the 16 mm bore (75.4 N) and the 25 mm bore (206.2 N) - step up to 25 mm if your tooling mass grows, or down to 16 mm for lighter pick-and-place heads. The 25 mm stroke is well inside the 100 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a catalog item. This code has no magnet, so position sensing is unavailable; specify TACED20X25S if CMSE / DMSE switches are planned. FB flange mounting is the option if the body threads alone will not locate it. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put.
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 TACED20X25 FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means a rod exits both covers, so both sides see the rod-side area. Output is 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, with a maximum of 24 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed is 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 compact body is hard-anodized aluminium with M5x0.8 ports and a fixed TPU bumper at each end that decelerates the piston at stroke ends. Mounting is via the body threads or the FB flange. Sensing requires the optional -S magnet code (TACED20X25S) to enable CMSE / DMSE switches; this non-S code carries no magnet.
