About the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE20X60B
This AirTAC ACE20X60B is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder that uses air to both extend and retract its 10 mm rod. With a 20 mm bore 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 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length compared to an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight machine frames and guarding. The male rod thread (B code) simplifies mounting of custom tooling, while the fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs impact. As a practical guide, plan for roughly 9.6 kg of safe vertical lifting at 0.5 MPa, which is about 60% of the rated push force, to account for friction and dynamic loads.

Where the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE20X60B Is Used
Small Parts Clamping
Ideal for clamping small plastic or aluminum parts in a CNC fixture, where the 157.1 N push force at 0.5 MPa holds components securely without damaging delicate surfaces.
Label Applicator Press
Use in a labeling machine to press labels onto small bottles or boxes. The 60 mm stroke and compact body fit within the tight confines of a packaging line, providing consistent 117.8 N pull force for retraction.
Jig Positioning Pin
Mount on a manual assembly jig to actuate a locating pin. The short ISO 21287 body saves space in the fixture, and the male rod thread allows direct attachment of the pin, ensuring repeatable part alignment.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE20X60B the Right Cylinder?
For a lighter duty application, consider the ACE16X60 with 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the ACE25X60 for 245.4 N push at the same pressure. This ACE20X60B is a middle-ground option for compact fixtures where space is at a premium. Since this model has no -S code, it lacks the optional magnet, so CMSE or DMSE sensors cannot be mounted without ordering the -S variant.
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 ACE20X60B 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 increases to 219.9 N and pull to 164.9 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 32 kgf. The operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), and the proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The ACE20X60B has an ISO 21287 compact body that is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, saving valuable mounting space in tight guards or gantries. It uses a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb impact, and the hard-anodized aluminum body with a hard-chrome plated S45C steel rod ensures durability. Note that this model has no magnet, so to use CMSE or DMSE sensors, you must order the -S version.
