The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED25X10 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 10mm 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.
The TACED25X10 is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the ISO 21287 short-body format. A rod exits both covers, so the 25 mm bore delivers an identical 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa (288.6 N at 0.7 MPa) in each direction, because both sides work on the rod-side area. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling from rotating and carry light side load, so a gripper jaw or press plate stays square with no external guide. The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated rod runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), from -20 to +70 C, at 30-500 mm/s.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why this 10 mm stroke size slots into cramped pick-and-place heads and small test rigs. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. For sizing: keep real work near 123 N at 0.5 MPa, and treat it as lifting about 10 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The rod end is a female M6x1.0 thread and the port is M5x0.8. Position sensing needs the optional -S magnet code; this unit has no magnet fitted, so CMSE / DMSE switches cannot be mounted unless you order -S.

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.
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 206 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 289 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 42 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.

ACE-family variants: ACE (double acting), ASE / ATE (single acting push / pull), ACED (double rod), ACEJ (adjustable stroke), TACE / TACED (non-rotating twin-guide yoke). Mounting accessories: FA / FB flange, LB foot, CA / CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, FTC; plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G.
A 10 mm stroke with 206.2 N each way is enough to kick finished bushings off a CNC fixture into a chute, with the twin guide yoke keeping the pusher square to the nest.
Equal force in both directions makes the through-rod ideal for a two-jaw gripper on a robotic pick head, where the short body fits inside the wrist envelope.
About 10 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin suits light sample pressing or go/no-go gauging on a benchtop rig where a full-length cylinder will not fit.
At 206.2 N per direction, the 25 mm bore sits between the 20 mm (117.8 N) and 32 mm (345.6 N) sizes; step down for lighter clamps, up when you need roughly 1.7x the force. The 10 mm stroke suits short indexing and ejection moves. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost - it never holds or locks a load, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the position must stay put. Mount with the FB flange, and order the -S code only if you plan to fit CMSE / DMSE switches.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both sides, so output is equal in extend and retract: 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 288.6 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 42.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 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 tight jigs and gantries. Sensors are possible only with the optional -S magnet code, which enables CMSE / DMSE switches; this model (no S) has no magnet, so no switch can be mounted. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy.
