The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED25X45S 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.
This 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) whichever way the piston moves. Twin guide rods on the yoke keep the tooling from rotating and carry side load, so a gripper or plate stays square without an external guide. The -S magnet is fitted on this model, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted directly on the body slots.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight jigs and guarded stations. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. For planning, treat roughly 0.6 of the 206.2 N rating as usable work at 0.5 MPa, about 124 N, which corresponds to lifting roughly 6 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-500 mm/s.

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 clamping force in both directions and 45 mm stroke suit pallet clamps where the fixture must be pushed and released through the same compact envelope.
Twin guide rods stop the gripper rotating while the through-rod gives equal grip and release force, ideal for small electronics housings on assembly cells.
With the fitted -S magnet, CMSE / DMSE switches report end-of-stroke or mid-stroke positions on leak-test and functional-check stations.
At 206.2 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, this 25 mm bore sits between the 20 mm bore (117.8 N) and the 32 mm bore (345.6 N); step up to 32 mm if your clamp needs more margin. Note it does not hold position when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. The female M6x1.0 rod thread and PT ports suit standard fittings, and FB flange mounting is available if you need a bolted face rather than the body slots.
Quick checklist
Yes. Because a rod exits both covers, both sides work on the rod-side area, so force is equal in extend and retract: 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 288.6 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction. Maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 42.0 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, at speeds of 30-500 mm/s.
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. The S in TACED25X45S means the optional magnet is fitted, enabling CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches on the body slots. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and the female M6x1.0 rod thread takes standard tooling.
