Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE20X60SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE20X60SB 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 ACE20X60SB
This AirTAC ACE20X60SB is a double acting compact cylinder that extends and retracts its rod with air pressure, delivering 157.1 N push and 117.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa. The hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight machine frames and guarding where a full-length cylinder will not.
With the optional -S magnet fitted, you can mount CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches for reliable end-position sensing. For real work at 0.5 MPa, plan for about 94 N of usable force, which lifts roughly 9.6 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The male rod thread (B code) simplifies mounting to your tooling.

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 ACE20X60SB Is Used
Compact Jig Clamping
Clamp small parts in a CNC fixture with a 60 mm stroke, using the 157.1 N push to hold components securely during drilling or milling operations.
Sorting Gate Actuator
Divert lightweight boxes on a packaging conveyor by extending a 60 mm pusher arm. The 117.8 N pull retracts the gate quickly between cycles.
Guard Door Interlock
Operate a safety interlock pin on a machine guard with a 60 mm stroke. The compact body fits within the guard frame, and the optional magnet signals door position to a PLC.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE20X60SB the Right Cylinder?
For lighter loads, consider the ACE16X60 with 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa; for heavier work, the ACE25X60 offers 245.4 N push. This 20 mm bore model suits compact jigs and fixtures where space is limited but force around 157 N is enough. The fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impacts, but it does not hold a load if air pressure is lost - use a rod lock or pilot check valve for position holding. Mounting options include FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, and SDB pivot brackets that bolt directly to the ISO 21287 face.
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 ACE20X60SB 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. These figures assume clean, filtered air.
The ACE20X60SB body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder of the same stroke, so it fits into confined areas like machine guards, gantries, and small jigs. The fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke energy without needing adjustment, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE or DMSE sensors for position feedback.
