Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED25X55
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED25X55 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 55mm 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 TACED25X55
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the TACED25X55 pushes a 25 mm bore through a 55 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers. Because each side sees the same rod-side area, output is identical in either direction: 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 288.6 N at 0.7 MPa. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling rotating and take side load, so a gripper or plate stays square without an external guide.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. For sizing, keep real work near 124 N at 0.5 MPa, and expect it to lift about 10 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The short body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight jigs and gantries.

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 TACED25X55 Is Used
Fixture clamping in CNC cells
The equal 206.2 N force in both directions lets one TACED25X55 clamp and release a machining fixture with identical grip, while the twin guide yoke keeps the clamp pad square to the part.
Carton pusher on a packing line
A 55 mm stroke is enough to kick cartons between lanes at 30-500 mm/s, and the non-rotating twin rods stop the pusher plate twisting against the product.
Sample lift in lab automation
With about 10 kg of vertical lift at a 2:1 margin, the TACED25X55 raises microplate stacks in compact analyzers where the short ISO 21287 body fits under the deck.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED25X55 the Right Cylinder?
At 206.2 N per direction, the 25 mm bore suits clamping and positioning where a 20 mm bore (117.8 N at 0.5 MPa) falls short but a 32 mm bore (345.6 N) is oversized. The 55 mm stroke sits well inside the 150 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a standard build. Air is lost means the piston drifts, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if a load must stay put. Mounting is FB flange, and the optional -S magnet is what enables CMSE / DMSE switches - without that code there is no magnet fitted.
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 TACED25X55 FAQ
Yes - it is a double-rod cylinder, so a rod exits both covers and both sides use the rod-side area. Output is 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 288.6 N at 0.7 MPa, identical extending and retracting, with a maximum of 42.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s.
It is an ISO 21287 compact build whose short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end and FB flange mounting. Sensing needs the optional -S magnet code: order TACED25X55S and CMSE or DMSE switches can ride the body's magnet slots. Without -S there is no magnet, so no switch will trigger.
