The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE20X35B is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 35mm 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.
This ACE20X35B is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a 20 mm bore and a 35 mm stroke. Its hard-anodized aluminium body is about half the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, making it a fit for tight fixtures. The male rod thread (B code) simplifies mounting to linkages or tooling.
At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 157.1 N and pulls with 117.8 N, so it suits light assembly tasks. As a guide, plan for about 9.6 kg of real vertical work at 0.5 MPa (0.6 x 157.1 N divided by 9.81) to keep a safety margin. The fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and the M5x0.8 port keeps plumbing compact.

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.
| 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.

| S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSE / DMSE sensors (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
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.
Use the 157.1 N push to actuate a small locating pin or clamp in a benchtop assembly fixture for electronics or small parts.
Drive a label tamp head with the 35 mm stroke and 117.8 N pull to press labels onto small cartons or bottles on a packaging line.
Open a small plexiglass guard door on a machine with the compact body, saving space compared to a longer profile cylinder.
For a smaller option, the ACE16X35 offers 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the ACE25X35 steps up to 245.4 N push. This 20 mm bore unit is a middle ground for light pick-and-place or clamping. Since this model has no -S code, it lacks a magnet, so CMSE or DMSE sensors cannot be fitted; order the -S version if you need position sensing. The male rod thread (B) suits direct coupling to a clevis or rod end.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, push is 157.1 N and pull 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.
No, this ACE20X35B has no magnet because the -S code is absent. To use CMSE or DMSE switches, you must order the -S variant. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends only absorbs impact, not a locking mechanism.
