Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED25X5S
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED25X5S 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 TACED25X5S
The TACED25X5S is a double acting, double rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a rod exits both covers, so the 25 mm bore delivers 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 carry side load, so a small gripper or press plate stays square without an external guide. The 5 mm stroke suits short indexing and clamping moves at 30-500 mm/s.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters in tight fixture plates and machine guards. As an S-code model it carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted for end-of-stroke detection. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and the female M6x1.0 rod thread on both ends takes standard tooling. In practice, plan on roughly 123 N of usable work 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 TACED25X5S Is Used
Fixture clamp on a CNC jig
The 5 mm stroke clamps a machined aluminium blank against a hard stop, with the twin guide yoke keeping the clamp pad square and 206.2 N holding it in place at 0.5 MPa.
Pick-and-place gripper actuator
A rod exits both covers, so one cylinder can drive a two-jaw gripper from either end; the non-rotating yoke stops jaw twist, and the -S magnet feeds CMSE switch signals to the PLC.
Ejection pin on a small press
The short ISO 21287 body fits inside a compact die head where a full-length profile cylinder will not, pushing finished parts clear with about 288.6 N at 0.7 MPa.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED25X5S the Right Cylinder?
At 25 mm bore the 206.2 N per direction at 0.5 MPa sits between the 20 mm bore (117.8 N) and the 32 mm bore (345.6 N), so step up to 32 mm if your clamp needs more margin. The 5 mm stroke is a standard short stroke for this bore. This model does not hold position if air is lost - the piston drifts - so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. Mount with the FB flange where a fixed base is needed, and note the PT port thread with M5x0.8 connections.
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 TACED25X5S FAQ
Yes - it is a double rod cylinder, so force is equal both ways. At 0.5 MPa you get 206.2 N per direction, at 0.7 MPa you get 288.6 N per direction, and the maximum at 1.0 MPa is 42.0 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, on air filtered to 40 um.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow fixtures and guarded spaces. Because this is the S version, the optional -S magnet is fitted, letting CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches sense piston position. The body is hard-anodized aluminium with an S45C hard-chrome rod, a fixed TPU bumper at each end, female M6x1.0 rod threads, and an M5x0.8 PT port.
