The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED25X80 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 80mm 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 compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the TACED25X80 pushes a 25 mm bore through an 80 mm stroke with a rod leaving BOTH covers, so the output force is identical in each direction: 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 288.6 N at 0.7 MPa on the rod-side area. Twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry 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 at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-500 mm/s.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight jigs, guards and gantries. For sizing, treat roughly 123 N (about 0.6 of the 206.2 N rating) as the usable working force at 0.5 MPa, which equates to lifting about 6 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches; without the -S code no magnet is fitted.

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.

|---|---|
| 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 80 mm stroke and short ISO 21287 body let the TACED25X80 clamp workpieces inside crowded machining fixtures where a full-length profile cylinder cannot fit, delivering 206.2 N on both the clamp and release stroke.
Twin guide rods keep a vacuum or pick plate from rotating as the cylinder extends 80 mm, so parts stay aligned without adding an external guide - useful on electronics and small-assembly gantries.
With about 123 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa, the 25 mm double-rod unit ejects sample trays or presses small test coupons in laboratory and QC equipment, retracting with the same 206.2 N for positive return.
At 206.2 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, the 25 mm bore sits between the 20 mm bore (117.8 N) and the 32 mm bore (345.6 N); step down for lighter clamping, up when the load approaches 120 N working force. The 80 mm stroke is within the standard range for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay held. Order the -S code if CMSE / DMSE position sensing is planned, and pick FB flange, CA, CB, CR or FTC mounting to suit the machine frame. Female M6x1.0 rod thread, PT ports.
Quick checklist
Because a rod exits both covers, output is equal both ways on the rod-side area: 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 pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 80 mm stroke is a standard length for the 25 mm bore.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it suits cramped jigs and guards. Sensing is possible only if you order the optional -S magnet version, which then accepts CMSE / DMSE switches; the standard TACED25X80 has no magnet fitted. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and mounting choices include FB flange, CA, CB, CR and FTC.
