The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED32X25 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 25mm stroke, 1/8" 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.
The TACED32X25 is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 32 mm bore and 25 mm stroke in a hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated 12 mm rod. Because a rod exits both covers, the output force is EQUAL in both directions - 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa - since both sides work on the rod-side area. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a gripper or plate stays square without an external guide.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why this 32 mm size drops into tight jigs, guards and gantries. Practical sizing: plan on roughly 207 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, and expect about 17 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, the piston seal stores grease, and the rod end carries a female M8x1.25 thread with 1/8" PT ports.

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 | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 484 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 70 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 345.6 N both-ways force at 0.5 MPa clamps aluminium brackets in a milling fixture, and the twin guide yoke keeps the clamp pad square to the part through every cycle.
With equal 345.6 N output in each direction, the through-rod rejects cartons off a conveyor whether it extends or retracts, and the 25 mm stroke fits the narrow frame gap.
The compact body, about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, slides a PCB carrier tray 25 mm between nest positions inside a guarded gantry.
For this 32 mm bore, 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa in both directions suits clamping and transfer tooling in the mid force class; step down to a 25 mm bore (206.2 N) for lighter loads or up to 40 mm (571.8 N) when you need more push without growing the envelope. The 25 mm stroke is well inside the standard range for bore 32, so no made-to-order stroke is needed. Mounting is FB flange; there is no rod-thread code on the yoke. If you need position sensing, order the -S variant - the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches, and without it no magnet is fitted. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load.
Quick checklist
It is a double-rod cylinder, so force is EQUAL both ways (rod-side area): 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 70.5 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 bore is 32 mm with a 25 mm stroke.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it suits tight jigs and gantries. Sensing is possible only if you order the optional -S magnet code; with the plain TACED32X25 no magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE switches cannot be mounted. Mounting is FB flange, the rod end is female M8x1.25, ports are 1/8" PT, and a fixed TPU bumper sits at each end.
