Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE32X20
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE32X20 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 20mm stroke, 1/8" 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 TACE32X20
Built to ISO 21287, the TACE32X20 is a double acting compact cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 20 mm stroke in a hard-anodized aluminium body that saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it drops into tight jigs, guards and gantry arms. Twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, holding a gripper or plate square without an external guide. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.1 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa those figures rise to 563 N and 483.8 N, with a theoretical 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
For sizing, plan on about 241 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa - roughly 24 kg of vertical load - rather than the full rating. Air supply runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with speed from 30-500 mm/s, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. The 12 mm S45C rod is hard-chrome plated with a female M8x1.25 thread, and the 1/8" port matches this bore. No magnet is fitted as standard; order the optional -S code to enable CMSE / DMSE switches.

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 (Ø32mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 402 N | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | 484 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 82 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 TACE32X20 Is Used
Connector press-fit cell
A 20 mm stroke is enough travel to seat small connectors or bearings in an electronics assembly jig, and the 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa handles light interference fits while the twin-guide yoke keeps the punch square.
Cartoning lid tuck
On a small cartoner, the short ISO 21287 body fits inside the folding headspace and the non-rotating rods press lids down evenly at 30-500 mm/s without twisting the tooling.
Fixture lift on a test bench
Mounted FTC under a test fixture, the cylinder raises about 24 kg vertically at 0.5 MPa with margin, and the fixed TPU bumpers soften the landing at both ends of the 20 mm stroke.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE32X20 the Right Cylinder?
At 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa this 32 mm bore covers light press and clamp work; step down to a 25 mm bore (245.4 N) for gentler loads or up to a 40 mm bore (628.3 N) when the job grows. The piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay put. FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC mountings are available, and the optional -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 TACE32X20 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the 32 mm bore pushes 402.1 N and pulls 345.6 N. At 0.7 MPa push rises to 563 N and pull to 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Working pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
The body is a compact ISO 21287 aluminium barrel with threaded covers and a fixed TPU bumper at each end of the 20 mm stroke. Mounting options are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC. Sensing needs the optional -S magnet code: without it there is no magnet and no switch can be read; with it, CMSE or DMSE switches detect end positions along the body slots.
