The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE80X20SG 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.
This ISO 21287 compact cylinder is double acting, with air extending and retracting the 20 mm stroke rod. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 2513.3 N of push force, while the retract stroke pulls with 2356.2 N, so it suits medium-duty clamping and pressing tasks.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, freeing space in tight fixtures. The optional -S magnet is fitted here, enabling CMSE or DMSE switches for position sensing. For a real workload, plan on roughly 1508 N (about 154 kg) of usable force at 0.5 MPa, keeping a safety margin.

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.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|

| 0.7 MPa | 3519 N | 3299 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 513 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with 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.
Clamp sheet metal parts in a welding jig with a short-stroke, high-force cylinder that fits between locating pins.
Drive a small arbor press for staking or crimping components, using the 2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa for consistent force.
Actuate a diverting gate on a conveyor, with the fitted magnet triggering a CMSE switch to confirm position for the PLC.
Choose this 80 mm bore for applications needing over 2500 N of push at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, the 63 mm bore offers 1558.6 N push, while stepping up to 100 mm gives 3927.0 N. The 20 mm stroke suits short travel, and the 1/4" port matches standard air lines. Since the magnet is fitted, you can add CMSE or DMSE switches for reliable end-of-stroke detection.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, push is 2513.3 N and pull 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.
The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length compared to an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into compact jigs and guards. The fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and the optional -S magnet allows CMSE or DMSE switch mounting.
