Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE50X20
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE50X20 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm 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 TACE50X20
Built for tight machine envelopes, the AirTAC TACE50X20 is a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder to ISO 21287 with a 50 mm bore and 20 mm stroke. Twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a gripper plate or clamp anvil stays square without an external guide. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 981.7 N and pulls 881.2 N, and the short hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
For real-world sizing, plan on roughly 589 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa and expect the rod to lift about 100 kg vertically, or about 50 kg with a 2:1 margin. The 16 mm hard-chrome S45C rod ends in a female M10x1.5 thread, air is supplied through a 1/8" PT port, and fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke energy at both ends. Speed runs 30-500 mm/s at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi); order the optional -S magnet if you want CMSE or 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 (Ø50mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 982 N | 881 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1374 N | 1234 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 200 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 TACE50X20 Is Used
Die-cast housing clamping
The 20 mm stroke clamps aluminium gearbox housings into a CNC machining fixture, where the twin-guide yoke keeps the clamp anvil square under about 589 N of usable force.
Bearing press-fit on a bench cell
Short-stroke pressing of ball bearings into electric-motor end shields, with 981.7 N push at 0.5 MPa enough for light interference fits in a compact assembly station.
Carton lift in a packaging gantry
Lifts about 50 kg cartons vertically with a 2:1 margin in a pick-and-place gantry, where the short body fits inside a guard sized for an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE50X20 the Right Cylinder?
At this force class the TACE50X20 sits between the 40 mm bore (628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa) and the 63 mm bore (1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa), so step down when the load is light and up when it is not. The piston does not hold position when air is lost - it drifts - so fit a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. FB, CA, CB, CR and FTC mountings cover flange and clevis needs, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switch position feedback.
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 TACE50X20 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 981.7 N and pulls 881.2 N; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 1374.4 N and pull to 1233.7 N. The theoretical maximum is 200.2 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.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke energy at both ends. Mounting choices are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC. Position sensing requires the optional -S magnet ordered with the cylinder; CMSE or DMSE switches then fit in the body slots.
