Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED25X20S
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED25X20S 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 TACED25X20S
Double acting and double rod, the TACED25X20S pushes a 25 mm piston through a 20 mm stroke with a rod leaving BOTH covers, so the force is identical in extend and retract: 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 S code on this model means the magnet is fitted, letting CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches report end positions.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is an ISO 21287 compact build that saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and gantry frames. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, the S45C hard-chrome rod resists wear, and the M5x0.8 ports suit small air lines. At 0.5 MPa the 206.2 N output works out to about 21 kgf, so plan on lifting roughly 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.
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 TACED25X20S Is Used
Fixture clamping on CNC pallets
The 206.2 N clamping force in both directions and 20 mm stroke suit short clamp-and-release moves on machining fixtures, with the twin guide yoke keeping the clamp pad square.
Small-part ejection on packaging lines
A rod exits both covers, so one cylinder can push a carton off a conveyor on the extend stroke and reset a stop on retract, each at 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa.
Lab pick-and-place slide
The non-rotating twin guide rods carry light side load and keep a vacuum cup or gripper facing down, while the fitted magnet drives CMSE / DMSE switches for cycle confirmation.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED25X20S the Right Cylinder?
At 206.2 N per direction, this 25 mm bore sits between the 20 mm size (117.8 N at 0.5 MPa) and the 32 mm size (345.6 N at 0.5 MPa); step up if your tooling needs the extra push. The 20 mm stroke suits short clamp-and-return moves. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay put. FB flange mounting is available, and the fitted -S magnet pairs with CMSE / DMSE switches for position feedback.
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 TACED25X20S FAQ
Yes. Because a rod exits both covers, both strokes act on the rod-side area: 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa, 288.6 N at 0.7 MPa, and up to 42.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa, equal in extend and retract. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s.
The S is the optional -S magnet code, and this model carries it, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped into the body slots for end-of-stroke sensing. The ISO 21287 compact body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end and FB flange mounting available.
