The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED25X90 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 90mm 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 with a rod leaving both covers, the AirTAC TACED25X90 delivers 206.2 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa (288.6 N at 0.7 MPa), because both chambers work on the rod-side area. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling turning and take side load, so a gripper or plate stays square without an external guide. The 90 mm stroke sits inside the 150 mm standard range for the 25 mm bore.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it drops into tight jigs, guards and gantries. A hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod, and fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke energy. As a working rule, plan on roughly 124 N (about 12.6 kg of force) of real work at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating, 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 and non-rotating twin guides hold a machined bracket square in a drilling jig, while the short body fits inside the fixture guard.
A rod at each cover lets one cylinder push cartons into a lane and retract them on the return, with equal 206.2 N force at 0.5 MPa either way and no external guide needed.
The 90 mm stroke shuttles a microplate carrier between stations, and the optional -S magnet with CMSE / DMSE switches confirms end positions inside the compact frame.
At 206.2 N per side, this 25 mm unit suits clamping and transfer where a 16 mm bore (75.4 N at 0.5 MPa) is too light and a 32 mm bore (345.6 N at 0.5 MPa) is more than the fixture needs. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). The piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay put. FB flange mounting is available, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches - without the -S code there is no magnet and no sensing. Rod end is a female M6x1.0 thread; port thread is PT.
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, equal in push and pull. At 1.0 MPa the maximum is 42.0 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s.
It is built to ISO 21287, so the hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with fixed TPU bumpers at both ends to absorb end-of-stroke impact. Sensing is an option, not a default: order the -S code to get the magnet, then CMSE or DMSE switches can be clipped onto the body. Without -S there is no magnet, and the cylinder does not hold position if air is lost.
