The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED25X100 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 100mm 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.
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the TACED25X100 pushes a 25 mm bore through a 100 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers. Because both sides work on the rod-side area, output is identical in each direction: 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 288.6 N at 0.7 MPa. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a gripper or plate stays square without an external guide.
The hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it drops into tight jigs and gantries. In practice, plan on roughly 123 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 10 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, the S45C hard-chrome rod resists wear, and the female M6x1.0 rod thread accepts standard tooling. Add the optional -S magnet if you later need CMSE / DMSE switches.

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.
Equal 206.2 N force in both directions lets one TACED25X100 clamp and release a machined housing jig with identical pressure, keeping fixture torque consistent across a CNC cell.
On a small assembly-station transfer slide, the through-rod drives the carriage left and right with matched 288.6 N at 0.7 MPa, while the twin guide yoke keeps the tooling square.
A 10 kg part lifted vertically with a 2:1 margin suits electronics tray handling; the non-rotating yoke holds the gripper plate aligned without extra guide rails.
At 206.2 N per direction, the 25 mm bore sits between the 20 mm (117.8 N) and 32 mm (345.6 N) classes, all measured at 0.5 MPa. Step down to TACED20 for lighter pick-and-place heads, or up to TACED32 when clamping forces climb. The 100 mm stroke is within the standard range for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost - for a held load, add a rod lock or pilot check valve. Mount with the FB flange, and order the -S code only if position sensing via CMSE / DMSE switches is planned.
Quick checklist
Yes. As a double-rod cylinder, a rod exits both covers and both sides see the rod-side area, so force is equal either way: 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 pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the M5x0.8 port is set by the 25 mm bore.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy without adjustment. Sensors are not fitted as standard: order the optional -S magnet version to enable CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches on the body's magnet slots. Without -S there is no magnet and no switching is possible.
