Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE20X10S
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE20X10S 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 TACE20X10S
Double acting and non-rotating, the TACE20X10S packs a 20 mm bore and a 10 mm stroke into an ISO 21287 compact body of hard-anodized aluminium with an S45C hard-chrome plated rod. Twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a small gripper or clamp plate stays square without any external guide. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 157.1 N and pulls 117.8 N; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 219.9 N push and 164.9 N pull, with a theoretical maximum of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speeds of 30-500 mm/s.
Plan for about 94 N of real work at 0.5 MPa instead of the full 157.1 N rating; in vertical terms the rod lifts about 16 kg, or roughly 8 kg with a 2:1 margin. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits tight jigs, guards and gantries. This model is ordered with the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped into the body slots anywhere along the stroke. The rod end carries a female M6x1.0 thread, the port is M5x0.8, 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 (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 TACE20X10S Is Used
Pick-and-place of electronic connectors
Mounted on a small gantry head, the twin-guide yoke keeps a vacuum gripper square while the 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa seats miniature connectors; the 10 mm stroke suits shallow part trays.
PCB test-jig probe actuation
In a circuit-board test fixture the non-rotating rod drives a spring-probe block straight down; about 94 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa gives consistent contact without damaging pads.
Micro clamping on a drilling fixture
Clamping a small aluminium bracket beside a drill bushing, the 20 mm bore holds with 219.9 N push at 0.7 MPa while the twin guide rods stop the clamp pad twisting under side load.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE20X10S the Right Cylinder?
For this duty class, bore 16 pushes 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa and bore 25 reaches 245.4 N, so the 20 mm bore sits between them for light clamping, probing and sorting work. The piston drifts if air is lost - it is not a holding or braking device - so add a rod lock or pilot check valve wherever a load must stay put. Mounting choices are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC; the 10 mm stroke is well inside the 100 mm standard range for bore 20, and the PT port thread can be swapped to G on request. The -S magnet is already fitted on this model for CMSE / DMSE switch mounting.
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 TACE20X10S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the 20 mm bore pushes 157.1 N and pulls 117.8 N; at 0.7 MPa push is 219.9 N and pull is 164.9 N. The theoretical maximum is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The working range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), temperature -20 to +70 C, and speed 30-500 mm/s.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits where a full-length cylinder will not. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy; it does not brake or hold a load, so use a rod lock or pilot check valve where position must be kept. Because this model carries the -S magnet, CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted in the body slots.
