Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE80X20
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE80X20 is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 20mm stroke, 1/4" 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 TACE80X20
The TACE80X20 is a double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: an 80 mm bore with a 20 mm stroke, a 20 mm hard-chrome S45C rod ending in a female M12x1.75 thread, and twin guide rods on a yoke that stop the tooling rotating while carrying side load. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 2513.3 N and pulls 2356.2 N; at 0.7 MPa those figures rise to 3518.6 N and 3298.7 N, with a theoretical peak of 512.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
In practice, plan for about 1508 N of real work at 0.5 MPa - roughly 60% of the push rating - and expect this cylinder to lift about 128 kg vertically once a 2:1 margin is applied. The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and gantries, while a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. The optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches; no magnet is fitted on this code. Air supply 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 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 (Ø80mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 2513 N | 2356 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 3519 N | 3299 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 513 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 TACE80X20 Is Used
Press-fit staking station
The 2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa presses bearings into aluminium housing bores on an automotive bracket assembly line, with the 20 mm stroke matching the insert depth.
Gearbox housing clamp
Twin guide rods on the yoke keep the clamp pad square over a gearbox housing on a CNC machining fixture, so side load from an uneven casting face cannot skew the tooling.
Die ejection on a stamping press
A short 20 mm kick ejects finished washers from a blanking die, and the non-rotating twin-guide design holds the ejector plate flat across the die face cycle after cycle.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE80X20 the Right Cylinder?
Size both ways before committing: a 63 mm bore pushes 1558.6 N at 0.5 MPa and a 100 mm bore reaches 3927.0 N, so the 80 mm at 2513.3 N sits squarely between them for medium-heavy clamping and pressing. The rod drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve wherever the load must stay put. Match the frame with FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR or FTC mounting, and order the -S code only if CMSE / DMSE position switching is planned.
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 TACE80X20 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the 80 mm bore pushes 2513.3 N and pulls 2356.2 N. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 3518.6 N and pulls 3298.7 N. The theoretical maximum is 512.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with air filtered to 40 um, and proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. Mounting options are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC. Position sensing requires the optional -S magnet code: with it, CMSE / DMSE switches mount in the body slots; without -S no magnet is fitted. Temperature range is -20 to +70 C.
