Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE20X50S
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE20X50S 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 TACE20X50S
Pushing 157.1 N at 0.5 MPa, the AirTAC TACE20X50S is a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 20 mm bore drives a 10 mm rod over a 50 mm stroke, pulling 117.8 N on the return and reaching 219.9 N push at 0.7 MPa. 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 - a real edge over a plain compact cylinder.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it drops into tight jigs, guards and gantries where a full-length body will not fit. Plan on roughly 94 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, enough to lift about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. As an -S model it carries the optional magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can read position in the body slots; the 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 TACE20X50S Is Used
Electronics gripper on a benchtop assembly gantry
The twin guide rods keep a small pick gripper square over the 50 mm stroke while placing connectors on a PCB line, with no external guide rail needed.
Carton flap hold-down on a small packaging machine
About 94 N of working push at 0.5 MPa presses flaps or seals blister cards at 30-500 mm/s, and the compact body fits under a low guard.
Positioned slide on an optical inspection station
The -S magnet lets CMSE / DMSE switches confirm extend and retract of the camera slide, and the short body keeps the station footprint tight.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE20X50S the Right Cylinder?
At 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa this 20 mm bore sits between the 16 mm bore (100.5 N) and the 25 mm bore (245.4 N); step up to 25 mm if your load needs more than about 94 N of working force at 0.5 MPa. The piston drifts when air is lost, so for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. The rod end is a female M6x1.0 thread on the yoke (no rod-thread code), the port is M5x0.8 PT, and FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR or FTC foot mounting can be added to the TACE20X50S code. Keep the S in the code - without it there is no magnet and no switch sensing.
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 TACE20X50S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the 20 mm bore pushes 157.1 N and pulls 117.8 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 219.9 N and pulls 164.9 N; theoretical maximum is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um, temperature -20 to +70 C. The rod is 10 mm with a female M6x1.0 thread and the port is M5x0.8.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod 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. FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR or FTC mounting can be appended to the code. The magnet on this -S model enables CMSE / DMSE switches for position feedback; it never locks or holds a load, so use a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay put.
