The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED25X45 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 45mm 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.
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the TACED25X45 pushes and pulls with identical force because a rod exits both covers and both sides work on the rod-side area. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 206.2 N in each direction (288.6 N at 0.7 MPa), and the twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling rotating while carrying side load, so a gripper or plate stays square without an external guide.
The short hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which makes it easy to tuck into tight jigs, guards and gantry frames. For sizing, plan on roughly 124 N of real work at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating, and expect it to lift about 10 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, the 10 mm S45C hard-chrome rod runs on a grease-storing two-way seal, and the M6x1.0 female rod thread takes standard tooling.

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 206.2 N grip in both directions plus the non-rotating twin guide yoke keeps small electronic housings square in a transfer gripper without extra guide rails.
With about 124 N of usable clamping force at 0.5 MPa and a body roughly half the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it clamps workpieces inside crowded drill jigs.
The 45 mm stroke lifts about 10 kg of sample trays vertically with a 2:1 margin, and the equal push-pull force returns the platform with the same authority.
At 25 mm bore this sits in the mid-light class: step down to a TACED20X45 for 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa or up to a TACED32X45 for 345.6 N if your fixture needs more margin. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if a load must stay held. The 45 mm stroke is a standard length for this bore, the FB flange suits fixed-face mounting, and if you want CMSE or DMSE switch position feedback, order the -S code - without it there is no magnet in the piston.
Quick checklist
Yes - it is a double-rod cylinder, so force is equal in both directions. At 0.5 MPa it gives 206.2 N, at 0.7 MPa it gives 288.6 N, and the maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 42.0 kgf. The 25 mm bore takes an M5x0.8 port, the rod is 10 mm with an M6x1.0 female thread, and 45 mm is within the standard stroke range for this bore.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits where a full-length cylinder will not. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. For sensing, order the optional -S code: that adds the magnet so CMSE or DMSE switches can be mounted in the body slots - without -S there is no magnet and no sensor can be fitted.
