Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE20X80
The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE20X80 is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 80mm 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 ACE20X80
This ACE20X80 is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a 20 mm bore and an 80 mm stroke, delivering 157.1 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Its short, hard-anodized aluminum body takes up about half the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, making it a fit for tight machine guards and compact jigs.
For real-world sizing, plan for roughly 94 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting about 9.6 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs impact energy, and this version has no magnet, so CMSE or DMSE sensors cannot be fitted unless you order the optional -S code.

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 ACE20X80 Is Used
PCB Panel Stops
Use the 80 mm stroke to raise and lower PCB stops on a solder paste printer, with the compact body fitting between conveyor rails.
Blister Pack Ejectors
Mount this cylinder to push formed blister packs out of a thermoforming die. The 157.1 N push clears lightweight PVC packs without marring surfaces.
Clamp for Small Enclosures
Actuate a swing clamp on an electronics enclosure assembly line. The 20 mm bore keeps air consumption low while the fixed bumper prevents shock to the plastic housing.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE20X80 the Right Cylinder?
Choose the ACE20X80 when you need a short-stroke actuator for light assembly tasks. If your application demands more force, step up to the ACE25X80 with 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa, or drop down to the ACE16X80 for 100.5 N push if space is even tighter. The M5x0.8 port suits small-bore manifolds and 4 mm tubing.
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 ACE20X80 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, push is 157.1 N and 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 at 1.0 MPa is 32 kgf. Operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
No, this model has no magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches cannot be used. To add sensor capability, order the ACE20X80S version with the optional -S magnet. The body does have magnet slots for retrofit if you replace the piston assembly.
