Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE20X60S
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE20X60S 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 TACE20X60S
The TACE20X60S is a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 20 mm bore with a 60 mm stroke, a 10 mm S45C hard-chrome rod and a hard-anodized aluminium body. 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 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, so it slots into tight jigs, guards and gantry frames where a full-length cylinder will not fit.
Plan on roughly 94 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa - about 0.6 of the rating - which lifts about 8 kg vertically once a 2:1 margin is applied. 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. Because this is the -S version, the magnet is fitted and CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy; 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 TACE20X60S Is Used
Small-part ejection on a PCB test nest
The 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa is enough to lift finished circuit boards clear of a test nest, and the 60 mm stroke clears typical nest depth. The twin-guide yoke keeps the ejector plate level so no corner of the board snags.
Clamp arm on a cosmetic-bottle labeling head
A side clamp arm holds each bottle square against the labeling rail through the 60 mm approach. The non-rotating guide rods stop the pad twisting, and the fixed TPU bumper softens each clamp cycle at both ends of travel.
Gated part-present check on an electronics assembly line
The cylinder acts as a short gate between stations, and because the -S magnet is fitted, CMSE / DMSE switches confirm extend and retract before the next robot pick is released.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE20X60S the Right Cylinder?
For lighter clamping, the 16 mm bore ACE gives 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa; step up to the 25 mm bore when you need 245.4 N. This 20 mm unit sits between them with 157.1 N push and 117.8 N pull, and its 60 mm stroke sits well inside the 100 mm standard range for this bore. The piston drifts if air is lost - it is not a lock or brake - so add a rod lock or pilot check valve wherever a load must stay put. FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC mountings all fit the body, and the -S magnet on this model accepts CMSE / DMSE switches for end-of-stroke signalling.
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 TACE20X60S 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. For sizing, treat about 94 N (roughly 0.6 of the push figure) as the working force, which lifts about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed 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, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end to absorb end-of-stroke energy. The -S code means the magnet is fitted on this model, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped into the body slots. The rod end carries a female M6x1.0 thread and the air port is M5x0.8.
