Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE20X50
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE20X50 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 50mm 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 TACE20X50
The TACE20X50 is a double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a 20 mm bore and 50 mm stroke. 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 push and 164.9 N pull.
Its hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits tight jigs, guards and gantries. Plan for about 94 N of real work at 0.5 MPa - the 16 kgf theoretical rating halved to a 2:1 margin, so it lifts about 8 kg vertically. A fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke energy at both ends, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches.

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 TACE20X50 Is Used
Bracket clamping on electronics fixtures
Clamps small aluminium brackets during PCB sub-assembly. The 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa gives about 94 N of usable clamp force, and the twin-guide yoke keeps the clamp pad square to the bracket without extra guiding.
Carton divert flap on a packaging line
Swings a 50 mm divert flap that pushes light cartons off a conveyor lane. The non-rotating twin guide rods hold the flap alignment stroke after stroke, and the short body mounts under low guards.
Vision inspection sensor lift
Raises a compact camera head about 50 mm into position at an inspection station. With a 2:1 margin the cylinder lifts about 8 kg vertically, and the optional -S magnet feeds a DMSE switch for top-of-stroke confirmation.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE20X50 the Right Cylinder?
At 20 mm bore this sits mid-range: the 16 mm bore pushes only 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa, while the 25 mm bore reaches 245.4 N - step up if your clamp needs more than about 94 N of usable force. The 50 mm stroke is well inside the 100 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a standard part. Remember it drifts when air is lost; add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put.
Mounting choices are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC, and the rod end carries a female M6x1.0 thread with an M5x0.8 port. Order the -S code only if you need the magnet for CMSE / DMSE position switches; without it no sensor can be mounted.
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 TACE20X50 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 at 1.0 MPa is 32 kgf. For sizing, count on roughly 94 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight machines. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, speed runs 30-500 mm/s, and pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). Mount it via FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR or FTC; the M5x0.8 port and M6x1.0 female rod thread are standard. Add the optional -S magnet only if you want CMSE / DMSE switches.
