The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED25X50S 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.
Double acting and double rod, the TACED25X50S pushes a rod out of both covers of its ISO 21287 compact body, so the 25 mm bore delivers an identical 206.2 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa (288.6 N at 0.7 MPa) because both sides work on the rod-side area. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling rotating and take side load, keeping a gripper or plate square without an external guide. The magnet fitted under the -S code lets CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches report position.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated 10 mm rod runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, and -20 to +70 C, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and guarding. For sizing, plan on roughly 124 N (about 12.6 kgf) of usable push 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 in both directions clamps and releases a machined bracket in a drill jig, while the twin guide rods keep the clamp pad square to the datum.
A 50 mm stroke pushes cartons sideways off a conveyor at up to 500 mm/s, and the -S magnet with a DMSE switch confirms each push for the line PLC.
The compact body, about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, fits inside a benchtop enclosure where the 10 kg vertical-lift class handles small sample trays.
At 206.2 N per side, this 25 mm unit sits between the 20 mm bore (117.8 N at 0.5 MPa) and the 32 mm bore (345.6 N at 0.5 MPa); step up if your clamping needs more than about 124 N of working force. The 50 mm stroke is well inside the 100 mm standard limit for this bore, so it ships as a catalogue item. Choose FB flange, CA, CB, CR or FTC mounting, PT ports, and note the female M6x1.0 rod thread. It does not hold position when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design means a rod exits both covers, so both strokes work on the rod-side area. Output is 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 288.6 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, 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 bore takes an M5x0.8 port.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body, threaded aluminium covers, an S45C hard-chrome 10 mm rod and a fixed TPU bumper at each end of the 50 mm stroke. This -S version carries the optional magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped into the body slots to signal end positions. Mounting choices are FB flange, CA, CB, CR and FTC.
