Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE20X15H
The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE20X15H is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 15mm 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.

About the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE20X15H
This AirTAC ACE20X15H is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a 20 mm bore and a 15 mm stroke. It delivers 157.1 N of push force and 117.8 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it a solid choice for light automation tasks.
Its hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight machine guards and compact jigs. The fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs impact, and the M5x0.8 port keeps plumbing simple. For a safe working load, plan for about 94 N (0.6 times the push force) to leave a margin for real-world friction and speed.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACE-series (ISO 21287) datasheet. Body: hard-anodized aluminium alloy; piston rod: S45C carbon steel with hard-chrome plating. 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 (Ø20mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 157 N | 118 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 220 N | 165 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 32 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

Where the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE20X15H Is Used
Compact Jig Clamping
Use in a small pneumatic jig to hold a plastic housing during drilling. The 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa provides enough force to secure parts without taking up much space on the workbench.
Light Packaging Pusher
Ideal for pushing small cartons or blister packs along a short conveyor segment. The 15 mm stroke matches the product width, and the compact body fits under a packaging machine guard.
Automated Test Probe
Actuate a test probe or sensor tip in a quality-control station. The double acting action retracts the probe quickly after measurement, and the fixed TPU bumper prevents damage at high cycle rates up to 500 mm/s.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE20X15H the Right Cylinder?
When sizing, compare this 20 mm bore with the 16 mm bore, which pushes 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the 25 mm bore for 245.4 N push. For a 15 mm stroke, this model suits short travel applications where space is limited. Since this unit has no magnet (no -S code), it cannot accept CMSE or DMSE sensors; order the -S version if you need position sensing. Mounting options like FA/FB flanges or LB foot brackets bolt directly to the ISO 21287 face.
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 ACE Compact Cylinder ACE20X15H FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 157.1 N and the pull force is 117.8 N. At 0.7 MPa, push is 219.9 N and pull is 164.9 N. The theoretical maximum force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. These numbers assume clean, dry air at the specified pressure.
No, this model has no magnet because it lacks the -S code. The optional -S magnet is required to mount CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches. Without the -S option, there is no built-in magnet, so sensor mounting is not possible. The fixed TPU bumper only absorbs end-of-stroke impact; it does not provide position feedback.
