Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE80X20S
The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE80X20S 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 TACE80X20S
A double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the AirTAC TACE80X20S pairs an 80 mm bore with a 20 mm stroke and a 20 mm hard-chrome rod. 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 ceiling of 512.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a gripper or press 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, which is what gets it into tight machine frames.
For real work, plan on roughly 1508 N of thrust (about 153 kg) at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating, or expect it to lift about 128 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. This -S model carries the optional magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted in the body slots. Air is filtered to 40 um, pressure runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof, speed spans 30-500 mm/s, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. Ports are 1/4" PT and the rod end carries a female M12x1.75 thread.

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 TACE80X20S Is Used
Weld fixture clamping
A 20 mm stroke is enough to clamp a steel bracket down on weld pins in an automotive fixture, with 2513.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa holding it through the weld cycle.
Press-off ejection
Eject stamped housings from a die nest: 3518.6 N at 0.7 MPa clears parts that stick, and the twin-guide yoke keeps the ejector plate square to the tool.
Gantry pick and place
On a gantry handling castings of up to about 128 kg, the short ISO 21287 body fits between the rails where a full-length profile cylinder simply would not.
Is the Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE80X20S the Right Cylinder?
Sizing between neighbours: the bore 63 TACE gives 1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa and the bore 100 reaches 3927.0 N, so this 80 mm unit with 2513.3 N push and 2356.2 N pull covers the middle ground. Keep the 20 mm stroke short on purpose - it is a clamp-and-return actuator, not a long-travel pusher. The piston drifts the moment air is lost and holds nothing by itself, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for any suspended load. FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC mountings bolt straight on, and the -S magnet on this model lets CMSE / DMSE switches flag both end positions without extra brackets.
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 TACE80X20S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it 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. For sizing, treat about 1508 N as the usable working thrust at 0.5 MPa, which corresponds to lifting roughly 128 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod runs about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. FB, CA, CB, CR and FTC mountings are available, ports are 1/4" PT, and because this is the -S version, CMSE / DMSE switches can be fitted in the body slots. It does not hold position when air is lost - use a rod lock or pilot check valve for that.
