The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X10 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 10mm stroke, M5×0.8 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.
A double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact cylinder, the TACED20X10 pushes a 10 mm rod out of both covers so the 20 mm bore delivers 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa in each direction - the rod-side area is identical either way. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a small gripper or plate stays square without an external guide. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
For sizing, plan on roughly 70 N (about 7 kgf) of usable push at 0.5 MPa rather than the full 117.8 N rating; vertically that means lifting about 6 kg with a 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body pairs with an S45C hard-chrome rod, a fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke shock at both ends, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches - without -S no magnet is fitted. Speed range is 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.
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 118 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 165 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 24 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.

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 through-rod gives 117.8 N of grip force in both directions at 0.5 MPa, while the twin guide yoke keeps the jaws from twisting on 10 mm moves.
A 10 mm stroke is ideal for nudging test coupons off a nest; the compact body fits where an ISO 15552 profile cylinder would be twice as long.
Order the -S magnet and CMSE / DMSE switches to signal extend and retract on a gauge or go/no-go station running 30-500 mm/s.
At 117.8 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, this 20 mm bore sits between the 16 mm (75.4 N) and 25 mm (206.2 N) double-rod units; step up if your clamp needs over about 120 N. The 10 mm stroke suits short-reach eject or gauge moves, and bore 20 accepts strokes to 100 mm as standard. Note it will not hold position if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. Female M6x1.0 rod thread, M5x0.8 port, FB flange mounting, and order the -S code if you need CMSE / DMSE sensing.
Quick checklist
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal in both directions: 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 24.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, air filtered to 40 um.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy; it is not adjustable and does not hold or brake a load. FB flange mounting is available, and the optional -S magnet allows CMSE / DMSE switch sensing.
