Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE20X20
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE20X20 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 20mm 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 TACE20X20
The TACE20X20 is a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder built to the ISO 21287 short-body format, with a 20 mm bore and a 20 mm stroke. Twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a small gripper or press plate stays square without an external guide. At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 157.1 N and pulls with 117.8 N, enough for light clamping, ejecting and indexing work.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod keeps the envelope tight: the short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into compact jigs and fixtures. In practice, plan for roughly 94 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and the M5x0.8 port suits small-bore air lines.

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 TACE20X20 Is Used
Small-part ejection in a plastic mold fixture
The 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa knocks finished nylon fittings off a core pin, and the 20 mm stroke clears the part without over-travel. Twin guide rods keep the ejector plate from twisting.
Sample vial indexing on a lab autosampler
The short ISO 21287 body fits inside the tight analyzer housing where a full-length profile cylinder will not, and the non-rotating yoke advances the vial tray squarely into position.
Cosmetic jar lid press on a filling line
About 94 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa seats snap-on caps on 30 ml jars gently and repeatably at 30-500 mm/s, with the TPU bumper softening each end of the short 20 mm stroke.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE20X20 the Right Cylinder?
Size by force first: at 0.5 MPa this 20 mm bore gives 157.1 N push, while a 16 mm bore gives 100.5 N and a 25 mm bore gives 245.4 N. Step up to the 25 mm if your load sits near the upper end of the 20 mm range, or drop to 16 mm for lighter pick-and-place work. The 20 mm stroke is well inside the 100 mm standard limit for this bore, so it is a stock configuration.
Remember the piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay put. Mount it FB, CA, CB, CR or FTC, and if you need position sensing order the optional -S magnet so CMSE or DMSE switches can be fitted; without -S there is no magnet.
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 TACE20X20 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 157.1 N and pulls 117.8 N; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 219.9 N. The theoretical maximum is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, air filtered to 40 um, speed 30-500 mm/s, and temperature -20 to +70 C.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome rod and a fixed TPU bumper at both ends. Mounting choices are FB, CA, CB, CR and FTC, the rod end is a female M6x1.0 thread, and the port is M5x0.8. Position sensing requires the optional -S magnet code; only then can CMSE or DMSE switches be mounted.
