Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED100X20
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED100X20 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm 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 TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED100X20
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the TACED100X20 delivers 3769.9 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa (5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa) because both chambers work on the rod-side area. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a press plate or gripper stays square without an external guide. The 100 mm bore is the top of the ACE compact range, rated to 768.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with S45C hard-chrome rod is an ISO 21287 short-body build, saving about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which helps it slot into heavy jigs and gantries. For sizing, plan on roughly 2262 N (about 230 kgf) of real work at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating, or expect it to lift about 192 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / 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 (Ø100mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3770 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 5278 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 769 kgf |
Double-rod: a rod exits both covers, so output force is equal in both directions (rod-side area used). Twin guide rods carry the side load and stop the tooling rotating.

Where the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED100X20 Is Used
Heavy press-fit station
The 3769.9 N return force seats bearings or bushings into housings on an automotive machining line, with the twin guide yoke keeping the ram square over the 20 mm stroke.
Clamp and unclamp fixture
Equal 3769.9 N force both ways clamps a steel weldment and retracts the clamp arm with the same push, so no separate return cylinder is needed on the jig.
Pallet lift-and-lower post
With about 192 kg of vertical lift at a 2:1 margin, the through-rod raises and lowers a pallet elevator plate in a packaging cell, guided by the non-rotating yoke.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED100X20 the Right Cylinder?
At 3769.9 N per side at 0.5 MPa, this 100 mm bore suits heavy clamping and pressing where equal force in both directions matters. Step down to the TACED80X20 (2356.2 N) for lighter loads or stay here for the full 768.8 kgf class. The 20 mm stroke is well inside the 300 mm standard range for this bore. Ports are 1/4" PT, the rod end is female M12x1.75, and FB flange mounting is available. Note it drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must be held. Order the -S code if you need the magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches.
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 TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED100X20 FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design puts a rod out of both covers, so both strokes work on the rod-side area. Output is 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa, equal in each direction, with a maximum of 768.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so the 100 mm bore fits where a full-length cylinder cannot. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. Sensors are possible only with the optional -S magnet code, which allows CMSE / DMSE switches; without -S there is no magnet. FB flange mounting and G ports are order options.
