Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE20X90S
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE20X90S 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 TACE20X90S
A double acting compact cylinder in the ISO 21287 family, the TACE20X90S pairs a 20 mm bore with a 90 mm stroke and a 10 mm hard-chrome S45C rod. 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, rising to 219.9 N push at 0.7 MPa, and the short hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it fits tight jigs, guards and gantries.
For sizing, count on roughly 94 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa (about 0.6 of the push rating), which is a vertical lift of around 8 kg with a 2:1 margin. This model carries the -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted in the body slots to report end positions. It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), moves at 30-500 mm/s, has a fixed TPU bumper at both ends, a female M6x1.0 rod thread and an M5x0.8 PT port.

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 TACE20X90S Is Used
Connector press-fit station
The 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa is enough to seat small PCB connectors or terminals in electronics assembly, while the twin guide yoke keeps the press tool square to the board over the 90 mm working stroke.
Vial and sample tray handling
In lab automation, the non-rotating twin rods hold a suction plate or pick head aligned as it lifts about 8 kg vertically with margin, and the -S magnet feeds CMSE / DMSE end-position signals to the controller.
Cosmetic jar lid press
A packaging line capping small cosmetic jars uses the 90 mm stroke to reach into a compact guard; the short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE20X90S the Right Cylinder?
Step down to a TACE16 (100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa) when the part is lighter and space is tighter, or step up to a TACE25 (245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa) if your fixture needs more clamp force at the same 90 mm reach. Remember the rod drifts when air is lost, so for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. Mount with FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR or FTC, and keep the -S magnet on this model if CMSE / DMSE switch feedback is part of the controls plan.
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 TACE20X90S 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 theoretical maximum force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The bore is 20 mm with a 10 mm hard-chrome rod threaded M6x1.0 female, an M5x0.8 PT port, operating pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s and a temperature range of -20 to +70 C.
It is an ISO 21287 compact build whose hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb end-of-stroke energy. Mounting options are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC. This TACE20X90S carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be slid into the body slots; models ordered without -S have no magnet.
