The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED25X30S is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 30mm 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 and double rod, the TACED25X30S pushes with 206.2 N and pulls with the same 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa, because a rod exits both covers and every stroke works on the rod-side area. Bore is 25 mm, stroke is 30 mm, and twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating, so a gripper or plate stays square without an external guide. The optional -S magnet is fitted on this model, so CMSE / DMRE switches can be mounted - order CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches to read position.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod runs at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it drops into tight jigs and gantries. For planning: about 124 N (roughly 0.6 of the rated force) is a realistic working figure, which lifts about 10.5 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 twin guide yoke holds a clamp plate square over the 30 mm stroke, and 206.2 N per side secures small aluminium parts during machining.
Equal 206.2 N force in both directions gives consistent grip and release, and the fitted -S magnet feeds CMSE / DMSE switch signals to the PLC.
About 124 N of practical working force lifts roughly 10.5 kg vertically, and the short body fits under bench hoods where longer cylinders will not.
At 206.2 N per side, the 25 mm bore sits between the 20 mm bore (117.8 N) and the 32 mm bore (345.6 N) at 0.5 MPa - step down for lighter pick-and-place, up if you need more grip. The 30 mm stroke is within the standard range for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost; add a rod lock or pilot check valve if a load must stay put. FB flange mounting and the fitted -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches are both available.
Quick checklist
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal in both directions: 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 288.6 N at 0.7 MPa on the rod-side area, 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 port is M5x0.8.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and the S45C hard-chrome rod runs in a hard-anodized aluminium bore with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. The -S magnet is fitted on the TACED25X30S, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clamped into the body slots for end-of-stroke sensing.
