Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED25X20
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED25X20 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 20mm 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 TACED25X20
Double acting and double rod, the TACED25X20 pushes a 25 mm piston through a 20 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers, so the force 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. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why this size fits tight jigs, guards and gantries. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod, ports are M5x0.8, and the rod end is female M6x1.0. In practice, plan on roughly 124 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, and with a 2:1 margin this bore lifts about 10 kg vertically. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C.

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 (Ø25mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED25X20 Is Used
Push-pull fixture clamping
A rod exits both covers, so one cylinder clamps a machined housing on one side while ejecting it on the other - 206.2 N each way at 0.5 MPa with no extra cylinder needed.
Synchronized two-sided gripper
Twin guide rods keep the gripper jaws from rotating as they close on a plastic connector housing, and the equal rod-side force gives identical grip pressure in open and close directions.
Short-pitch divert on a packaging line
The 20 mm stroke and short ISO 21287 body slot between conveyor frames where a full-length profile cylinder will not fit, nudging cartons sideways at up to 500 mm/s.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED25X20 the Right Cylinder?
At 206.2 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, this 25 mm bore sits between the 20 mm TACED (117.8 N) and the 32 mm TACED (345.6 N), so step up if your tooling needs more grip. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost - it never holds position - so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a suspended load. Mounting is FB flange; order the optional -S code if you want CMSE / DMSE switches, since without -S there is no magnet in the piston.
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 TACED25X20 FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means both sides see the rod-side area, so output 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 25 mm bore takes M5x0.8 ports with an M6x1.0 female rod thread.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end to absorb end-of-stroke energy. Position sensing is available only if you order the optional -S magnet code, which enables CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches; the standard TACED25X20 has no magnet fitted.
