Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE20X80S
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE20X80S 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 TACE20X80S
A double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the TACE20X80S pairs a 20 mm bore with an 80 mm stroke and twin guide rods on a yoke that stop tooling rotation 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 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 fits tight jigs, guards and gantries where a full-length cylinder will not.
The hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome plated 10 mm rod with a female M6x1.0 thread, and M5x0.8 ports feed air filtered to 40 um. Because this model carries the optional -S magnet, CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted in the body slots for position feedback. Fixed TPU bumpers at both ends absorb end-of-stroke shock, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s across 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air. For real work, plan on roughly 94 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

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 TACE20X80S Is Used
Connector press-fit on PCB lines
The 80 mm stroke reaches into a fixture to seat board-edge connectors, while the twin guide rods keep the press head square to the PCB without an external guide.
Small-part gating on packaging conveyors
A flipper gate sorting blister packs stays aligned on the yoke's twin rods through millions of cycles, and the fitted -S magnet feeds end-position signals to the PLC via CMSE switches.
Sample tray indexing in lab automation
With about 8 kg of vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin, the cylinder raises microplate trays between stations inside a compact enclosure where mounting space is scarce.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE20X80S the Right Cylinder?
If 157.1 N of push at 0.5 MPa is more than the job needs, the bore 16 TACE gives 100.5 N; if the load grows, step up to bore 25 for 245.4 N at the same pressure. The 80 mm stroke sits inside the 100 mm standard range for bore 20, so no made-to-order build is required. Remember the rod drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC mountings suit most fixtures, and the fitted -S magnet lets CMSE / DMSE switches report end positions.
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 TACE20X80S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 157.1 N and pulls 117.8 N; at 0.7 MPa push is 219.9 N and pull 164.9 N. The theoretical maximum is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof limit, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 build saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with fixed TPU bumpers at both ends absorbing stroke-end shock. FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC mountings are available, and because this model carries the optional -S magnet, CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches clip straight into the body slots.
