Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE20X30S
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE20X30S is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 30mm 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 TACE20X30S
The AirTAC TACE20X30S is a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 20 mm bore and 30 mm stroke on a hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated 10 mm 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 the push reaches 219.9 N, with a theoretical 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
Plan on roughly 94 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, and treat this cylinder as lifting about 8 kg vertically once a 2:1 margin is applied. The -S code on this model means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted to track position. A fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke energy. Air is filtered to 40 um, pressure runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof, temperature spans -20 to +70 C, speed is 30-500 mm/s, and the rod end carries a female M6x1.0 thread with an M5x0.8 port.

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 TACE20X30S Is Used
Electronics fixture clamping
On an SMT assembly bench, the 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa holds small connector housings in a go-no-go jig while the twin-guide yoke keeps the clamp pad square over the 30 mm stroke.
Pick-and-place part ejection
A packaging machine can use the 30 mm stroke to push finished blister cards off a shuttle table; the -S magnet with a DMSE switch confirms each completed push before the next cycle.
Light press-fit station
Pressing nylon bushings into plastic brackets needs a steady force near 94 N - inside the usable band at 0.5 MPa - and the fixed TPU bumper softens both ends of the short travel.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE20X30S the Right Cylinder?
Between the 16 mm bore (100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa) and the 25 mm bore (245.4 N), the 20 mm TACE20X30S sits in the middle for light clamping and short positioning moves. If the load must stay put when air is lost, remember the piston drifts - add a rod lock or pilot check valve for held loads. FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC mountings are available, and the fitted -S magnet lets CMSE / DMSE switches report end positions. Strokes up to 100 mm are standard for this bore, so a longer travel can be ordered without leaving the series.
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 TACE20X30S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 157.1 N and pulls 117.8 N. At 0.7 MPa the push rises to 219.9 N and the pull to 164.9 N. The theoretical maximum is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and rod speed runs 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. The -S code means the magnet is fitted here, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clamped in the body slots to report rod position. FB, CA, CB, CR and FTC mountings are offered, and the rod end is a female M6x1.0 thread with an M5x0.8 port.
