The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED25X50 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 50mm 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 ISO 21287 compact cylinder, the TACED25X50 pushes a 25 mm bore through a 50 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers. Because both chambers see the rod-side area, output is 206.2 N in either direction at 0.5 MPa and 288.6 N at 0.7 MPa - no push/pull mismatch to design around. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop tooling rotation and carry side load, so a gripper or plate stays square without an external guide.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, letting it slot into tight jigs and gantries. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, the S45C hard-chrome rod resists wear, and the female M6x1.0 rod thread plus PT ports keep plumbing simple. In practice, plan on roughly 124 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, and expect it to lift about 10 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 206.2 N clamping force acts identically on either rod end, so a machining fixture can be clamped or released from whichever side of the pallet is accessible.
Twin guide rods keep the pusher plate square at 30-500 mm/s, kicking off-spec cartons off a conveyor without twisting or jamming.
The non-rotating yoke holds jaw alignment for electronics sub-assembly work, with the 50 mm stroke opening wide enough for varied part sizes.
At 206.2 N per side at 0.5 MPa, this 25 mm bore sits between the 20 mm (117.8 N) and 32 mm (345.6 N) TACED sizes - step down for lighter pick-and-place heads, up for heavier clamping. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must be held. The 50 mm stroke is within the 150 mm standard range for this bore, and the optional -S magnet code enables CMSE / DMSE switches; without -S no magnet is fitted.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both chambers, so output is equal both ways: 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 288.6 N at 0.7 MPa. At the full 1.0 MPa rating the cylinder reaches about 42.0 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 30-500 mm/s, and the M5x0.8 port suits the 25 mm bore.
The ISO 21287 short-body build saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow guards and gantries. Each end carries a fixed TPU bumper that absorbs end-of-stroke energy; it is not adjustable and does not hold a load if air is lost. FB flange mounting is available, and ordering the optional -S magnet code lets CMSE / DMSE switches report position.
