Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE63X20
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE63X20 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm 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 TACE63X20
The TACE63X20 is a double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact cylinder: a 63 mm bore driving a 16 mm rod through a 20 mm stroke, with twin guide rods on a yoke that stop the tooling rotating and carry side load. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 1558.6 N and pulls 1458.1 N; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 2182.1 N push and 2041.3 N pull. The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated rod runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure.
For real work, plan on roughly 935 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa - about 0.6 of the rated force - which lifts about 79 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight clamping fixtures and gantries. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, speed runs 30-500 mm/s, and the magnet is the optional -S code: order it and CMSE / DMSE switches can be fitted, while without -S no magnet is installed.

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 (Ø63mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 1559 N | 1458 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 2182 N | 2041 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 318 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 TACE63X20 Is Used
CNC fixture clamping
A 20 mm stroke clamps machined aluminium housings on a milling fixture; the twin-guide yoke keeps the clamp plate square to the part without an external guide, and 1558.6 N of push at 0.5 MPa holds it through the cut.
Carton squaring station
On a case-packing line the short ISO 21287 body fits under tight guarding, squaring double-wall cartons before taping; about 935 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa handles heavy board without oversizing the bore.
Pallet stopper gate
As a vertical stopper on a roller conveyor, the 63 mm bore lifts about 79 kg with a 2:1 margin; the 20 mm stroke raises the gate just enough to catch the leading pallet and release it on command.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE63X20 the Right Cylinder?
A 50 mm bore TACE gives 981.7 N push at 0.5 MPa - step up to this 63 mm bore when the job needs 1558.6 N, or go to 80 mm for 2513.3 N. The 20 mm stroke sits well inside the standard range for this bore, so no made-to-order length is required. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - it holds nothing on its own, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay put. Mount with an FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR or FTC, and order the -S code if CMSE / DMSE position switches are planned. The rod end carries a female M10x1.5 thread; there is no rod-thread code on the yoke.
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 TACE63X20 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 1558.6 N and pulls 1458.1 N. At 0.7 MPa the figures rise to 2182.1 N push and 2041.3 N pull. The theoretical maximum is 317.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and a fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke energy. Mounting options are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC. The magnet is the optional -S code - order it and CMSE / DMSE switches can be fitted, but without -S no magnet is present. The rod end has a female M10x1.5 thread and the air port is 1/8" PT.
