Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE32X20S
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE32X20S 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 TACE32X20S
Double acting and non-rotating, the TACE32X20S is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 20 mm stroke in a hard-anodized aluminium body fitted with an S45C hard-chrome-plated rod. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.1 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa push reaches 563 N, and the theoretical maximum is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a gripper plate stays square without an external guide.
The short ISO 21287 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 cylinder will not fit. Plan for about 241 N of real work at 0.5 MPa (roughly 0.6 of the push figure), which lifts about 20 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Because this is the -S version, the magnet is fitted and CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped into the body slots. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.

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 TACE32X20S Is Used
Stamped-part ejection under a press die
A 20 mm stroke is enough to push small stamped terminals or brackets off the die face, and the 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa clears parts reliably cycle after cycle.
Reject gate on a bottling line
Mounted beside the conveyor, the twin-guide yoke kicks underweight bottles square-on into the reject bin without the tooling rotating or twisting under side load.
Pick-and-place gripper actuation
On an electronics assembly cell, the guide rods keep the gripper jaws parallel when closing on PCB connectors, so no separate guide rail is needed.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE32X20S the Right Cylinder?
For clamping and pressing jobs around 400 N at 0.5 MPa, the 32 mm bore sits between the 25 mm bore (245.4 N push) and the 40 mm bore (628.3 N push), so step down for lighter loads or up when the cycle needs more force. The piston drifts if air is lost - it never locks or holds position - so fit a rod lock or pilot check valve for a suspended load. Mounting choices are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC; the yoke carries no rod-thread code, and the rod end is female M8x1.25 with a 1/8" PT port. If position feedback matters, this -S model already carries the magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches.
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 TACE32X20S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the 32 mm bore pushes 402.1 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa push is 563 N and pull is 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and speed runs 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with fixed TPU bumpers at both ends to absorb end-of-stroke energy. Mounting options are FB, CA, CB, CR and FTC. Since this is the -S version the magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted in the body slots.
