Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X25S
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X25S is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø40mm 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.

About the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X25S
A double acting compact cylinder with a through rod, the TACED40X25S pushes equally hard in both directions because a rod exits each cover and both sides work on the rod-side area. At 0.5 MPa that is 571.8 N either way, rising to 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling rotating and take side load, so a gripper or plate stays square without an external guide. The magnet fitted under the -S code lets CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches report end positions.
The hard-anodized aluminium body keeps the mounting length about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why this 40 mm bore fits tight jigs, guarding and gantries. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and the S45C hard-chrome rod runs in a roller-burnished bore. In practice, plan on roughly 343 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 29 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 (Ø40mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 572 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 800 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 117 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 TACED40X25S Is Used
Fixture clamping on machining centers
The 571.8 N clamping force in both directions clamps and releases a fixture plate in a 25 mm stroke, and the twin guide yoke keeps the clamp pad square to the part.
Packaging line pusher stations
Equal push either way rejects or diverts cartons at conveyor speed, with the short compact body fitting between guard rails where a full-length cylinder will not.
Pick-and-place gripper actuation
About 29 kg of vertical lift with margin suits gripping and lowering small assemblies, while CMSE / DMSE switches on the -S magnet confirm open and closed positions.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED40X25S the Right Cylinder?
At 571.8 N per direction, the 40 mm bore sits between the 32 mm (345.6 N) and the 50 mm (881.2 N) in the TACED range. Pick 32 mm if your load is under about 200 N of work; step up to 50 mm when you need to lift heavier fixtures vertically. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. The 25 mm stroke is a standard length, the rod end carries a female M8x1.25 thread, ports are 1/8" PT, and this -S model already carries the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches; FB flange, CA, CB, CR and FTC mountings are available.
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 TACED40X25S FAQ
Yes. Because a rod exits both covers, both strokes work on the rod-side area: 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa, equal in each direction. The maximum output at 1.0 MPa is 116.6 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed range 30-500 mm/s, and 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 slots into tight jigs and guarding. The -S code on this model means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted in the body slots for end-position sensing. Mounting options include FB flange, CA, CB, CR and FTC, the rod end is female M8x1.25, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy.
