The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED25X25 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 25mm 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.
The TACED25X25 is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a rod leaves both covers, so the 25 mm bore delivers the same 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa (288.6 N at 0.7 MPa) whether it pushes or pulls. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling from rotating and carry side load, so a gripper or plate stays square without an external guide. The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated 10 mm rod runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and guarding where a full-length body will not fit. At 0.5 MPa the rod-side area gives roughly 21 kgf, so halving for a 2:1 margin means this unit lifts about 10 kg vertically; plan on about 124 N of real work rather than the full 206.2 N rating. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches when ordered.

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 grip and release at 0.5 MPa with no rotation from the twin guide rods keeps small part grippers square on an electronics assembly line.
The 25 mm stroke and about 10 kg vertical lift capacity suit light dot-peen or ink stamping of date codes on packaged goods at 0.5 MPa.
A through rod ejects machined parts from a drill jig with identical force in both directions, and the short body fits inside the fixture footprint.
At 206.2 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, the 25 mm bore sits between the 20 mm bore (117.8 N) and the 32 mm bore (345.6 N) - pick 20 for lighter pick-and-place, 32 when the load climbs past about 124 N of usable force. The 25 mm stroke suits short indexing moves; bore 25 accepts standard strokes up to 150 mm, so longer travel stays standard. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must be held. Mounting is FB flange, and the optional -S magnet is what allows CMSE / DMSE switch sensing; without it no sensor can be fitted.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes 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), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the piston will drift if air is lost, so use a rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a load.
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 and FB flange mounting. Position sensing needs the optional -S magnet code - order TACED25X25S and CMSE / DMSE switches can be mounted on the body slots; the base model has no magnet.
