Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE20X25
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE20X25 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 25mm 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 TACE20X25
Built as a double acting, non-rotating unit, the TACE20X25 is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a 20 mm bore and 25 mm stroke. Twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a gripper or press 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 push and 164.9 N pull, with a theoretical maximum of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits tight jigs and guarding where a full-length body will not.
For real work, plan on roughly 94 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa - about 60% of the rated force - which is enough to lift about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod with a female M6x1.0 thread, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. The magnet is optional: order the -S code to enable CMSE or DMSE switches, because without -S there is no magnet. Supply air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, port M5x0.8.

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 TACE20X25 Is Used
Fixture ejection on a bushing press
The 25 mm stroke clears a finished bronze bushing from its machining fixture. The 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa is ample for a small part, and the twin-guide yoke keeps the ejector pin square to the bore.
Carton flap hold-down on a glue line
A non-rotating press plate holds the flap flat while the adhesive sets. The compact body tucks between conveyor guard rails, and the 117.8 N pull retracts the plate clear for the next carton.
Reject gate on an electronics test bench
The gate swings failed PCBs off the test lane. Order the -S magnet and a CMSE or DMSE switch confirms extended and retracted gate position before the next board is released.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE20X25 the Right Cylinder?
At 157.1 N push and 117.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, the 20 mm bore sits between the 16 mm bore at 100.5 N and the 25 mm bore at 245.4 N - step down when the load is light, up when it needs more muscle. Keep in mind the piston drifts if air is lost, so for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. Mounting choices are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC, and the optional -S magnet should be ordered whenever CMSE or DMSE position 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 TACE20X25 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) and speed range is 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. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and mounting options include FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC. Sensing requires the optional -S magnet: with that code ordered, CMSE or DMSE switches mount in the body slots.
