Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE20X60
The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE20X60 is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 60mm 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 ACE20X60
This AirTAC ACE20X60 is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a 20 mm bore and 60 mm stroke, delivering 157.1 N push and 117.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa. Its hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits tight jigs and guards where a full-length unit will not.
For real work, plan on about 94 N (0.6 x 157.1 N) at 0.5 MPa; that is roughly 9.6 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 safety margin. The fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact, but it does not hold a load - use a rod lock or pilot check valve if the part must stay put when air is lost.

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 ACE20X60 Is Used
Fixture Clamping
Clamp small parts in a CNC fixture with 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, using the short body to fit under a guard or between vise jaws.
Label Applicator
Drive a label tamp head on a packaging line with 60 mm stroke, cycling at 30-500 mm/s to match a conveyor pace.
Light Press
Press a bushing into a plastic housing with 219.9 N push at 0.7 MPa, relying on the TPU bumper to soften the final impact.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE20X60 the Right Cylinder?
For a smaller option, the ACE16X60 offers 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the ACE25X60 steps up to 245.4 N push. The M5x0.8 port suits small-bore circuits, and the female M6x1.0 rod thread accepts standard clevis or knuckle fittings. This model has no magnet, so order the -S code if you need CMSE or DMSE sensor feedback.
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 ACE20X60 FAQ
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. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), with proof pressure at 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
Its ISO 21287 body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, saving space in tight fixtures. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs impact but does not lock the rod. This model has no magnet, so sensors like CMSE or DMSE are only possible if you order the optional -S magnet code.
