Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE20X10
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE20X10 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 10mm 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. Twin guide rods keep the tooling from rotating.

About the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE20X10
Double acting and non-rotating, the TACE20X10 packs a 20 mm bore and a 10 mm stroke into an ISO 21287 compact body with a hard-anodized aluminium barrel and a 10 mm S45C hard-chrome-plated rod. Twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a gripper or plate stays square without an external guide. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 157.1 N and pulls 117.8 N; at 0.7 MPa those figures rise to 219.9 N and 164.9 N.
The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it drops into tight jigs, guards and gantries where a full-length cylinder will not fit. Plan for roughly 94 N of real work at 0.5 MPa (about 0.6 of the push force), which lifts about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke energy at both ends, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches when position sensing is needed.

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 (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. Twin guide rods stop the tooling rotating.

Where the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE20X10 Is Used
Electronics fixture ejection
Ejects small connector housings from a nest on an electronics assembly bench; the twin-guide yoke keeps the pusher square over the 10 mm kick so parts clear without skewing.
Carton plug seating
A short-stroke press seats plastic plugs or date stamps into cosmetic carton apertures, where about 8 kg of vertical lift equivalent covers lightweight tooling with margin.
Lab microplate indexing
Positions microplates between stations on a compact lab automation deck; the short ISO 21287 body fits under a low guard where a longer profile cylinder cannot.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE20X10 the Right Cylinder?
At 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa this 20 mm bore sits between the 16 mm bore (100.5 N) and the 25 mm bore (245.4 N), so step up only if your fixture needs the extra margin. The 10 mm stroke suits short-jog moves; bore 20 accepts standard strokes to 100 mm. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if a load must stay put. Match FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR or FTC mounting to your frame, and order the -S code if CMSE / DMSE switches are planned.
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 TACE20X10 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 157.1 N and pulls 117.8 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 219.9 N and pulls 164.9 N. The theoretical maximum is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 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 with a hard-anodized aluminium body, threaded aluminium covers and a fixed TPU bumper at both ends, mounting via FB, CA, CB, CR or FTC. The rod end carries a female M6x1.0 thread and the air port is M5x0.8. Position sensing requires the optional -S magnet code; with it, CMSE or DMSE switches mount in the body slots. Without -S there is no magnet and no switching.
