Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE20X60
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE20X60 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 60mm 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 TACE20X60
A double acting compact cylinder to ISO 21287, the TACE20X60 drives a 20 mm bore over 60 mm of stroke while 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 rise to 219.9 N and 164.9 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, which is why it fits tight jigs, guards and gantries.
For real work, plan on roughly 94 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa (about 0.6 of the rating), enough to lift about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C carbon-steel rod with hard-chrome plating, a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, and the female M6x1.0 rod thread accepts standard tooling. It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, from -20 to +70 C.

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 TACE20X60 Is Used
PCB test fixture clamping
The 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa clamps a circuit board into a bed-of-nails test jig, and the twin guide rods keep the pressure plate level across the board.
Small-bracket press station
A 60 mm stroke presses a snap-fit sensor bracket into a housing on an automotive sub-assembly line, with the yoke stopping the punch from rotating.
Carton lid tuck-down
On a cosmetic-carton packing machine, the non-rotating rod folds a hinged lid flat at about 8 kg vertical equivalent, inside the guard where a long-body cylinder will not fit.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE20X60 the Right Cylinder?
Compare force before you fix the bore: the 16 mm bore pushes 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa and the 25 mm bore pushes 245.4 N, so the 20 mm at 157.1 N sits squarely between them for light clamping and small-part handling. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost - it never holds or brakes a load - so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the position must stay put. Mounting options are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC, and this unit has no magnet fitted; order the TACE20X60S if you want CMSE / DMSE switch capability.
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 TACE20X60 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 is 30-500 mm/s.
It is an ISO 21287 short-body cylinder whose hard-anodized aluminium construction saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at both ends and FB, CA/CB, CR or FTC mounting. The magnet is not fitted on this model - it is the optional -S code, which then allows CMSE or DMSE switches to sense position.
