About the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE20X50SB
This AirTAC ACE20X50SB is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder that extends and retracts its 10 mm rod with air pressure. With a 20 mm bore it delivers 157.1 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, which is enough to handle light clamping and positioning tasks in automated assembly lines.
Its short body saves about 50% of the mounting length compared to an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, making it ideal for tight machine guards and compact jigs. The optional -S magnet is fitted here, so you can mount CMSE or DMSE reed switches for end-of-stroke sensing. For real work, plan on about 94 N (roughly 9.6 kg) of usable force at 0.5 MPa, keeping a safety margin below the theoretical rating.

Where the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE20X50SB Is Used
Light Clamping Jig
Use in a benchtop fixture to clamp small plastic parts for drilling or gluing, with 157.1 N push force at 0.5 MPa holding components steady.
Sorting Gate
Actuate a diverting flap on a packaging conveyor to route lightweight cartons, with the 50 mm stroke providing quick redirection.
Position Feedback Station
With the fitted -S magnet, mount CMSE switches to confirm the rod is fully extended or retracted in a pick-and-place station.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE20X50SB the Right Cylinder?
For a lighter load, consider the ACE16X50 with 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the ACE25X50 offers 245.4 N push if you need more force in the same compact footprint. The M5x0.8 port suits small-bore air lines, and the male rod thread (B) simplifies mounting to fixtures. This model includes the -S magnet, so you can add CMSE or DMSE sensors for position feedback, but remember it does not hold position if air pressure is lost.
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 ACE20X50SB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, push force is 157.1 N and 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. Operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
The hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits in tight spaces like machine guards and gantries. It has a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb end-of-stroke impact, and the optional -S magnet allows CMSE or DMSE sensors for position detection.
