Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE20X80
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE20X80 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 80mm 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 TACE20X80
The TACE20X80 is a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 20 mm bore drives a 10 mm rod over an 80 mm stroke, with twin guide rods on a yoke that stop the tooling rotating and carry side load. 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, with a theoretical ceiling of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), at 30-500 mm/s and -20 to +70 C.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs, guards and gantries where a full-length cylinder will not fit. Plan for roughly 94 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa (about 0.6 of the push figure); vertically that is a lift of about 16 kg at full push, or about 8 kg with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches - without -S there is no magnet, so this version carries none.

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 TACE20X80 Is Used
Connector press-in on electronics jigs
A 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa seats small connectors and pins into PCB fixtures, and the 80 mm stroke reaches into a guarded nest where the short ISO 21287 body is the only fit.
Square gripper actuation on packaging lines
Twin guide rods on the yoke keep a small gripper from rotating as it picks blister packs or carton flaps, so no external guide is needed at 30-500 mm/s cycle speeds.
Light tray lift-and-lower under a bench
With about 8 kg of vertical lift on a 2:1 margin (16 kg at full push), the TACE20X80 raises and lowers PCB trays or small fixtures in test stations, retracting by air each cycle.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE20X80 the Right Cylinder?
Size between neighbours: bore 16 gives 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, bore 25 gives 245.4 N, so the 20 mm bore at 157.1 N sits squarely in the light press-fit and gripper band. If the load must stay put when air is lost, remember the piston drifts - add a rod lock or pilot check valve. Mount with FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR or FTC, and order the -S code only if CMSE / DMSE position switches are needed.
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 TACE20X80 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 157.1 N and pulls 117.8 N. At 0.7 MPa push rises to 219.9 N and pull to 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 usable working force, which corresponds to lifting about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.
The ISO 21287 compact body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a hard-anodized aluminium barrel, S45C hard-chrome plated 10 mm rod and a fixed TPU bumper at both ends. Mounting choices are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC, with an M6x1.0 female rod thread and M5x08 ports - note the port is M5x0.8. Sensing requires the optional -S magnet code: with -S fitted, CMSE / DMSE switches work along the body slots; without -S there is no magnet and no switch can be read.
