The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE20X70SB is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 70mm 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.
This AirTAC ACE20X70SB is a double acting compact cylinder that uses air to both extend and retract the rod. Its 20 mm bore delivers a solid 157.1 N push force at 0.5 MPa, with a pull of 117.8 N, making it a dependable choice for light automation tasks.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight machine frames and guarding. The optional -S magnet is fitted here, allowing CMSE or DMSE switches to sense the piston position. For real work, plan on about 9.6 kg of vertical lift at 0.5 MPa (157.1 N divided by 9.81, then halved for a safety margin).

ACE-family variants: ACE (double acting), ASE / ATE (single acting push / pull), ACED (double rod), ACEJ (adjustable stroke), TACE / TACED (non-rotating twin-guide yoke). Mounting accessories: FA / FB flange, LB foot, CA / CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, FTC; plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G.
Use the 157.1 N push to clamp small plastic parts in a CNC fixture, where the compact body fits under the workholding table.
Drive a label tamp head on a packaging line, with the 70 mm stroke providing enough travel to press labels onto boxes.
Eject finished metal stampings from a die or mold, using the 117.8 N pull to retract the rod quickly after each cycle.
For a smaller force, consider the ACE16X70 with a 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the ACE25X70 offers a stronger 245.4 N push. This 20 mm bore is a balanced middle ground for compact jigs and light clamping. Since the rod is male-threaded (B code), you can directly attach a clevis or rod end. The M5x0.8 port is small, so ensure your air supply and fittings match. This model has the -S magnet, so you can add CMSE or DMSE sensors for position feedback. Remember, a plain ACE cylinder does not hold its position when air is lost; use a rod lock or pilot check valve for load holding.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 157.1 N and the pull 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. The operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
It follows ISO 21287, so the body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, saving space in tight machines. The fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs impact at stroke limits, but it is not adjustable and does not lock the rod. For holding a load, use a separate rod lock or pilot check valve.
