The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED25X60 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 60mm 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 TACED25X60 pushes a rod out of both covers, so this 25 mm bore delivers an equal 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, keeping a gripper or plate square without an external guide. The rod end is female M6x1.0 and the air port is M5x0.8.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and gantries. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and 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. As a sizing rule, plan on roughly 124 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts 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 60 mm double rod clamps a machined housing in a drilling jig with 206.2 N on each side, so one cylinder replaces two and the twin guide yoke keeps the clamp pads square to the part.
A rod exits each cover, so the same 288.6 N at 0.7 MPa diverts cartons left or right on a conveyor without reversing plumbing, at line speeds up to 500 mm/s.
Twin guide rods carry the side load of a small pick-and-place gripper handling 10 kg parts, holding orientation without an external guide rail in a compact cell.
At 206.2 N per side, the 25 mm bore sits between the 20 mm (117.8 N) and 32 mm (345.6 N) classes at 0.5 MPa. Step down to 20 mm for lighter pick-and-place heads, or up to 32 mm when the load needs more than about 124 N of usable force. The 60 mm stroke is within the 100 mm standard range for this bore, so it ships as a standard build. Remember it drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. Mounting is FB flange, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches; without -S no magnet is fitted.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both sides, so output is equal both ways: 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 288.6 N at 0.7 MPa, 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, temperature -20 to +70 C, air filtered to 40 um.
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. For sensing, order the optional -S magnet version, which allows CMSE or DMSE switches along the body slots; the standard TACED25X60 has no magnet fitted. Mounting is FB flange, and the piston does not hold position on air loss - use a rod lock or pilot check valve for held loads.
