Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE80X20
The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE80X20 is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 20mm stroke, 1/4" 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 ACE80X20
This AirTAC ACE80X20 is a double acting compact cylinder that uses air to both extend and retract its 20 mm stroke rod. With an 80 mm bore it delivers 2513.3 N of push force and 2356.2 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it a strong choice for medium-duty automation tasks.
Its ISO 21287 short 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 would not. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome plated rod resist wear in continuous cycling, and the fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke impact. As a practical guide, plan for about 1508 N of real working force at 0.5 MPa, which is roughly 154 kg of vertical lift capacity with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE80X20 Is Used
Jig Clamping
Use the ACE80X20 to clamp sheet metal parts in a welding jig. Its 2513.3 N push force holds panels firmly, while the short body fits between fixture rails.
Package Stop
Mount this cylinder on a packaging conveyor to raise a stop gate. The 20 mm stroke is enough to block cartons, and the 2356.2 N pull retracts it quickly.
Press Guard Door
In a stamping press cell, this cylinder actuates a sliding safety door. The compact body fits under the guard frame, and the fixed TPU bumper softens each open and close cycle.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE80X20 the Right Cylinder?
For lighter loads, consider the ACE63X20 with 1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the ACE100X20 steps up to 3927.0 N push for heavier work. This ACE80X20 sits in the middle, offering a balance of force and compact size. Since this model has no -S code, it does not include the optional magnet for CMSE or DMSE sensors; order the -S version if you need position sensing. The 1/4" port suits standard shop air lines, and the female M12x1.75 rod thread accepts common attachments.
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 ACE80X20 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 2513.3 N and the pull force is 2356.2 N. At 0.7 MPa, push is 3518.6 N and pull is 3298.7 N. The theoretical maximum force is 512.6 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).
Yes, it is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a body about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It has a fixed TPU bumper at both ends, not an adjustable cushion. This model has no magnet, so it cannot use CMSE or DMSE sensors; you must order the -S version to get the optional magnet for sensor mounting.
