Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED100X20S
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED100X20S 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 TACED100X20S
Double acting with a double rod, the AirTAC TACED100X20S pushes a rod out of both covers of its ISO 21287 compact body, so the 100 mm bore delivers 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction - the rod-side area is identical on both strokes. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, keeping a press plate or gripper square without an external guide. The -S code on this model means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clamped straight onto the body slots.
The short hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters when a 20 mm stroke press or clamp has to fit inside a tight fixture. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, the S45C hard-chrome rod resists wear, and the 1/4" ports run at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with speeds of 30-500 mm/s. As a working figure, plan on roughly 2262 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 192 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.
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 TACED100X20S Is Used
Short-stroke stamping press
A 20 mm stroke and 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa suit crimping or embossing terminals on an electronics assembly line, with the twin guide yoke keeping the punch square.
Weld fixture clamping
Equal force in both directions lets one cylinder clamp and release a car-body bracket in a robotic weld cell, and the compact body fits between fixture rails.
Pallet ejector on a conveyor
The non-rotating yoke pushes cartons squarely off a palletizing conveyor, lifting about 192 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin, while CMSE switches confirm home position.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED100X20S the Right Cylinder?
At 3769.9 N per side at 0.5 MPa, this 100 mm bore sits at the top of the TACED range; if the job needs less, the 80 mm bore gives 2356.2 N, and there is no larger bore above it. The 20 mm stroke is well inside the standard range for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. Because the piston drifts when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. FB flange mounting suits fixed press plates, and the fitted -S magnet lets CMSE / DMSE switches report end positions without extra tooling.
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 TACED100X20S FAQ
Yes - the double rod means a rod exits both covers, so both strokes use the rod-side area. Output is 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, with a maximum of 768.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 1/4" ports take air filtered to 40 um.
The ISO 21287 body is about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so a 20 mm stroke clamp fits inside tight jigs and guards. This TACED100X20S carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount in the body slots for end-of-stroke signalling. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, FB flange mounting is available, and the female rod thread is M12x1.75.
