The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED25X15S 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.
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the TACED25X15S pushes and pulls with identical force: 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 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 rotating and carry side load, so a gripper or plate stays square with no external guide. The 15 mm stroke suits short indexing moves at 30-500 mm/s.
The body is the ISO 21287 compact format in hard-anodized aluminium, cutting about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters in tight jigs and guarded cells. The -S code on this model means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clamped anywhere along the body slots. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. For planning, treat roughly 124 N (about 0.6 of the rating) as usable force at 0.5 MPa, which corresponds to lifting about 10 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

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 through-rod gives equal grip force opening and closing at 206.2 N, while the twin guide yoke keeps small electronic parts from twisting in the jaws.
A 15 mm stroke is ideal for dot-peen or ink stamps on brackets; the compact body tucks into a press fixture where a longer cylinder will not fit.
With the fitted -S magnet and CMSE / DMSE switches, a PLC confirms extend and retract on a packaging line reject chute without external proximity parts.
At 206.2 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, the 25 mm bore sits between the 20 mm (117.8 N) and 32 mm (345.6 N) sizes; step up if your tooling mass needs more than about 124 N of working force. The 15 mm stroke is well inside the standard range for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. This model already carries the optional -S magnet, so add CMSE or DMSE switches when ordering. Mounting is FB flange; the rod end is female M6x1.0 and the air port is M5x0.8. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost, so fit a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay put.
Quick checklist
Yes. Because a rod exits both covers, both directions work on the rod-side area: 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 288.6 N at 0.7 MPa either way, with a peak 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, air filtered to 40 um.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod, about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches mount in the body slots; FB flange mounting is available.
