Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED25X5
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED25X5 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 5mm 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 TACED25X5
Double acting and double rod, the AirTAC TACED25X5 pushes a rod out of BOTH covers, so the 25 mm bore delivers an identical 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa in each direction - the rod-side area sees the air on both strokes. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a gripper jaw or press plate stays square with no external guide. The 5 mm stroke suits short indexing and clamping moves at 30-500 mm/s.
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 drops into tight jigs and guarding. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, the S45C hard-chrome rod takes wear, and the female M6x1.0 rod thread on the yoke accepts standard tooling. Plan on roughly 123 N (about 12 kgf) of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 6 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 TACED25X5 Is Used
Short-stroke clamping
The 5 mm stroke clamps small brackets or PCB fixtures in a test jig, with 206.2 N holding force applied equally from either rod end at 0.5 MPa.
Non-rotating ejection
Twin guide rods keep the ejector pin square on a small injection or die-cast fixture, so the 10 mm rod cannot spin under a 206.2 N push.
Pick-and-place nudging
On an electronics assembly gantry the compact body fits where a full-length cylinder will not, nudging parts about 6 kg equivalent vertically with a 2:1 margin.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED25X5 the Right Cylinder?
At 206.2 N per direction this 25 mm bore sits between the 20 mm TACED (117.8 N) and the 32 mm TACED (345.6 N), so pick it when a 20 mm unit is marginal at 0.5 MPa. The 5 mm stroke is a standard build for this bore. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - it never holds position, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. This version has no magnet; order the TACED25X5S if you need CMSE / DMSE switch detection. FB flange mounting is available, and the PT port thread is standard (G on request).
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 TACED25X5 FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, 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 pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um, temperature -20 to +70 C.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy - it is not adjustable and does not lock the load. Mounting is FB flange, ports are M5x0.8, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches; this non-S model has no magnet fitted.
