The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED50X25 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm 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 TACED50X25 is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the ISO 21287 short-body format. A rod exits both covers, so the 50 mm bore delivers the same 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa (1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa) in either direction - there is no push/pull imbalance to design around. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a gripper or press plate stays square without an external guide.
The hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which makes this a strong fit for tight jigs, guarding and gantry tooling. For sizing, treat roughly 529 N (about 54 kgf) as the usable working force at 0.5 MPa, or plan vertical lifts of about 45 kg with a 2:1 margin. The 25 mm stroke suits short approach-and-clamp moves, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, fluid filtered to 40 um.

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 | 881 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1234 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 180 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 25 mm stroke clamps a machined housing into a drill jig, with 881.2 N holding equally on extend and retract so the part seats square every cycle.
A rod exits both covers, so one cylinder can drive opposing gripper fingers on a robot end effector handling aluminium castings up to about 45 kg with a 2:1 lift margin.
The non-rotating twin guide yoke keeps a date-code stamp die from twisting, and the compact body fits inside a cramped printing station where a full-length cylinder will not.
At 50 mm bore this sits between the 40 mm TACED (571.8 N at 0.5 MPa) and the 63 mm TACED (1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa) - choose down if 571.8 N covers your clamp, up if you need over 1 kN. Because force is equal both ways, size the return stroke with the same 881.2 N figure. Remember the piston will drift if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. The rod end is a female M10x1.5 thread and the port is 1/8" PT. If you need position sensing, order the -S variant to enable CMSE / DMSE switches; the plain TACED50X25 carries no magnet.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design means both sides see the rod-side area, so force is equal extending and retracting: 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa in each direction. The maximum rating for the 50 mm bore is 179.7 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed range is 30-500 mm/s.
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. End-of-stroke shock is absorbed by a fixed TPU bumper at each cover. For sensing, order the optional -S magnet version, which allows CMSE or DMSE switches along the body; the standard TACED50X25 code has no magnet fitted.
