Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE20X85S
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE20X85S is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 85mm 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 TACE20X85S
A double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder, the AirTAC TACE20X85S packs a 20 mm bore and 85 mm stroke into an ISO 21287 short body. 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. 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 peak of 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 gantries where a full-length bore cannot.
Plan for about 94 N of real work at 0.5 MPa (roughly 0.6 of the push force), which lifts about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin - a quick way to match the cylinder to a known part weight. The hard-anodized aluminium body runs a hard-chrome plated S45C rod, a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches for position feedback. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, port M5x0.8, female rod thread M6x1.0.

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 TACE20X85S Is Used
Pick-and-place on a PCB test line
The twin-guide yoke keeps a vacuum gripper square over the 85 mm travel, while the 20 mm bore lifts about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin at 0.5 MPa.
Solder pallet indexing on an SMT line
CMSE reed switches on the fitted -S magnet confirm extend and retract positions of each pallet, and the body 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder fits under low guards.
Vial capping in a compact pharma filler
The 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa seats caps on 30 mL vials while the non-rotating guide rods stop the cap head twisting during press.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE20X85S the Right Cylinder?
If 157.1 N of push at 0.5 MPa is more than your clamp needs, step down to the bore 16 TACE at 100.5 N; if you want headroom, the bore 25 reaches 245.4 N. The 85 mm stroke sits inside the 100 mm standard range for bore 20, so no made-to-order build is required. Note that the piston drifts when air is lost - for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC mountings all bolt on, and the fitted -S magnet lets you clip CMSE / DMSE switches anywhere along the body slots.
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 TACE20X85S 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 rating, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and FB, CA, CB, CR and FTC mountings bolt straight on. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted in the body slots for position sensing.
