Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE20X60BH
The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE20X60BH 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 ACE20X60BH
This AirTAC ACE20X60BH is a double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, with a 20 mm bore and a 60 mm stroke. Its hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome plated rod resist wear in high-cycle automation, while the fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs impact energy.
The male rod thread (B code) lets you bolt on a custom tool or coupling directly, saving adapter parts. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 157.1 N and pulls 117.8 N, so a practical 2:1 safety margin means it can lift about 4.8 kg vertically without stalling. The short body takes roughly half the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, freeing space in tight fixtures.

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 ACE20X60BH Is Used
Small Part Ejection
Use the 60 mm stroke to push molded plastic parts off a conveyor into a bin; the 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa clears light parts without damaging them.
Jig Clamping
Mount this compact cylinder in a drill jig to clamp thin sheet metal during hole drilling; the short body fits under the worktable where a longer cylinder would not.
Label Applicator
Drive a label tamp head with the male rod thread to press labels onto boxes; the 60 mm stroke matches the travel needed for a compact labeling station.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE20X60BH the Right Cylinder?
For a lighter duty than this 20 mm bore, the 16 mm bore ACE16X60 delivers 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa; step up to the 25 mm bore ACE25X60 for 245.4 N push if your load grows. Since this model has no magnet (no S code), it cannot trigger CMSE or DMSE switches - order the -S version if you need position sensing. The M5x0.8 port suits small-bore manifolds, and the male rod thread simplifies mounting of small grippers or push plates.
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 ACE20X60BH 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 rises to 219.9 N and pull to 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), with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The ACE20X60BH follows ISO 21287, so its body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder of the same bore, making it ideal for tight machine guards or gantries. It uses a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb impact, not an adjustable air cushion. This bumper only decelerates the piston; it does not lock or hold a load in position.
