Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X20S
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X20S is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm 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. Twin guide rods keep the tooling from rotating.

About the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X20S
Heavy force in a short body: the TACE100X20S is a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, with a 100 mm bore and a 20 mm stroke. Twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a press plate or gripper stays square without an external guide. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3769.9 N; at 0.7 MPa the push figure climbs to 5497.8 N, with a theoretical maximum of 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
For real work, plan on about 2356 N at 0.5 MPa (roughly 0.6 of the push rating), which on a vertical axis means this cylinder lifts about 200 kg with a 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits tight presses, guards and gantries. The -S code on this model means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted in the body slots, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACE-series (ISO 21287) datasheet. Body: hard-anodized aluminium alloy; piston rod: S45C carbon steel with hard-chrome plating; guide rods: stainless steel (Ø12-40) / S45C (larger). 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 (Ø100mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3927 N | 3770 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 5498 N | 5278 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 801 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin. Twin guide rods stop the tooling rotating.

Where the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X20S Is Used
Bearing press-fit station
Pressing ball bearings into aluminium gearbox housings on a small assembly cell: 3927 N at 0.5 MPa covers light interference fits, and the 20 mm stroke matches the short travel a press-fit needs.
Weldment clamping fixture
Clamping steel brackets in a robotic welding jig: the twin guide rods keep the clamp plate square to the part under side load, so the seam stays aligned cycle after cycle.
Dot-peen marking head
Driving a marking or stamping head that puts part numbers on aluminium nameplates: the short stroke and about 200 kg vertical-lift class suit fast, shallow marking on a compact machine frame.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X20S the Right Cylinder?
Sizing down, an 80 mm bore gives 2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa; the 100 mm bore is the top of the ACE range, so if your job needs more than 3927 N at 0.5 MPa you must move to a larger series rather than a bigger ACE. The 20 mm stroke is a standard build (bore 100 takes standard strokes to 300 mm), and the port is 1/4" PT with a female M12x1.75 rod thread on the yoke. Note that the piston drifts if air is lost - it never locks or holds a load - so add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a held position matters. Mounting choices are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR or FTC, and the fitted -S magnet lets CMSE / DMSE switches report end positions.
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 TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X20S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3769.9 N; at 0.7 MPa push is 5497.8 N and pull is 5277.9 N; theoretical maximum is 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and speed runs 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end to absorb end-of-stroke energy. Mounting options are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR or FTC. This TACE100X20S carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots for position signals.
