Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE20X90
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE20X90 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 90mm 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 TACE20X90
A double acting compact cylinder with a non-rotating twin-guide yoke, the AirTAC TACE20X90 pairs a 20 mm bore with a 90 mm stroke. Air both extends and retracts the 10 mm rod, and the twin guide rods on the yoke stop tooling rotation while carrying 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. Plan on roughly 94 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 8 kg vertically once a 2:1 margin is applied.
The ISO 21287 body is hard-anodized aluminium with a roller-burnished bore, an S45C hard-chrome-plated rod finished in a female M6x1.0 thread, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end that absorbs end-of-stroke energy. Its short profile saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits jigs, guards and gantries where a full-length body will not. Supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed runs 30-500 mm/s, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches; the plain TACE20X90 carries no magnet.

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 TACE20X90 Is Used
Gripper slide for connector assembly
The twin-guide yoke holds a small gripper square across the full 90 mm stroke while picking M12 connector housings, and about 94 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa closes the jaws with margin to spare.
Mid-stroke flag on a vision-check fixture
Order the -S version and a DMSE switch confirms the 90 mm forward position before a camera inspects PCBs; without the -S magnet no switch can be mounted on this cylinder.
Label press head for cosmetic bottles
The short body, about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, tucks under a bench-top guard while the 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa presses labels onto 50 ml bottles at up to 500 mm/s.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE20X90 the Right Cylinder?
For a 90 mm stroke in this force class, bore 16 tops out at 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, so step up to this 20 mm bore when the load needs the extra 57 N. If the job later grows, bore 25 reaches 245.4 N at the same pressure. The piston drifts when air is lost, so fit a rod lock or pilot check valve wherever a load must stay held. Mount with the FB flange, CA or CB clevis, CR or FTC options, and add the -S code at ordering time if CMSE / DMSE sensing will be 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 TACE20X90 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the cylinder pushes 157.1 N and pulls 117.8 N; at 0.7 MPa it delivers 219.9 N push and 164.9 N pull, with a theoretical maximum of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. A practical rule is to plan on about 94 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 body is hard-anodized aluminium with an S45C hard-chrome-plated 10 mm rod, and it saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. Mounting choices are the FB flange, CA or CB clevis, CR or FTC. The magnet is optional: order TACE20X90S to run CMSE or DMSE switches, since the plain TACE20X90 has no magnet fitted.
