The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED25X15 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 15mm 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, double rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the TACED25X15 pushes a 25 mm bore through a 15 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 tooling rotation and carry light side load, so a gripper or plate stays square without an external guide.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod shrinks the mounting length to roughly half that of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why this bore class fits tight jigs, guards and gantries. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke impact. Plan on about 123 N (roughly 12.6 kg of push) for real work at 0.5 MPa, or about 10 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches; without it no sensor can be fitted.

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.
The 15 mm stroke and short ISO 21287 body clamp small brackets inside a press die or welding fixture where a full-length profile cylinder cannot fit, delivering 206.2 N per side at 0.5 MPa.
Twin guide rods keep a small gripper jaw square on a PCB or connector assembly line, while the equal 206.2 N force in both directions simplifies open and close tuning at 30-500 mm/s.
Order the -S magnet and a CMSE or DMSE switch to confirm a 15 mm eject or reject stroke on a packaging line, with the M5x0.8 port keeping plumbing compact.
At 206.2 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 25 mm bore suits small clamping and part-presenting duties. Step down to the 20 mm bore (117.8 N) for lighter tooling, or up to the 32 mm bore (345.6 N) when the load grows. The 15 mm stroke is well inside the 100 mm standard range for this bore. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must be held. FB flange mounting is available, and the female M6x1.0 rod thread on the yoke takes standard tooling directly.
Quick checklist
Yes. As a double rod cylinder, a rod exits both covers and both sides act on the rod-side area, so force is equal both ways: 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 pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the bore takes an M5x0.8 port with a female M6x1.0 rod thread.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into cramped jigs and gantries. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. Sensing is optional: order the -S version with the built-in magnet to use CMSE or DMSE switches; the standard TACED25X15 has no magnet, so no sensor can be mounted.
