The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE63X20S 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.
The TACE63X20S is a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 63 mm bore pushes 1558.6 N and pulls 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa, rising to 2182.1 N on the extend stroke at 0.7 MPa. Twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a gripper or press plate stays square with no external guide. The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated 16 mm rod runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, from -20 to +70 C.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why this 20 mm stroke unit drops into tight welding jigs and press fixtures where a full-length body will not fit. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. Because the S code is in this model, the magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clamped straight onto the body slots. As a planning figure, treat roughly 935 N as the usable push at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 79 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

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.

| 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.

ACE-family variants: ACE (double acting), ASE / ATE (single acting push / pull), ACED (double rod), ACEJ (adjustable stroke), TACE / TACED (non-rotating twin-guide yoke). Mounting accessories: FA / FB flange, LB foot, CA / CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, FTC; plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G.
The 1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa stakes terminal tabs on aluminium battery tray brackets, while the twin-guide yoke keeps the punch square over the 20 mm working stroke.
On a rotary filling line, the 63 mm bore presses snap-on lids with about 935 N of usable force, and the short body tucks under a low guard where a longer cylinder cannot.
Twin guide rods carry the side load of clamping rough aluminium die-cast housings, so the gripper jaw does not rotate, and CMSE switches on the fitted -S magnet confirm jaw closed.
For this 63 mm bore the 0.5 MPa push of 1558.6 N sits between the 50 mm bore (981.7 N) and the 80 mm bore (2513.3 N), so step down to 50 for lighter clamps or up to 80 when the 20 mm stroke must also shear or stake harder parts. Note that the piston drifts if air is lost, so a held load needs a rod lock or pilot check valve in the circuit. Mounting is chosen from FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC, and the rod end carries a female M10x1.5 thread on the yoke with no male-thread code. PT ports are 1/8" on this bore, and the fitted -S magnet means CMSE / DMSE switches work without reordering.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the 63 mm bore pushes 1558.6 N and pulls 1458.1 N; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 2182.1 N and pull to 2041.3 N. The theoretical maximum is 317.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. For sizing, plan on roughly 935 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, about 79 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof rating.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose short 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 shock. Mounting options are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC, the rod end is female M10x1.5, and ports are 1/8" PT. Because this model carries the -S code, the magnet is fitted and CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots.
