Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X100S
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X100S is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 100mm 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.

About the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X100S
Double acting and double rod, the TACED20X100S pushes a 20 mm piston through a 100 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers, so the force is identical in each direction: 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling rotating and take side load, so a gripper or plate stays square without an external guide. The optional -S magnet is fitted on this model, letting CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches read position along the body slots.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which makes this 100 mm stroke easy to fit inside tight jigs, guards and gantries. A hard-anodized aluminium body pairs with an S45C hard-chrome plated rod, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. For planning, treat roughly 70 N as the usable working force at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 6 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 (Ø20mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X100S Is Used
Pick-and-place gripper
The through-rod gives 117.8 N on open and close alike, and the twin guide yoke keeps small electronic parts gripped square without extra guiding.
Lab sample pusher
A 100 mm stroke inside a compact analysis machine - the short ISO 21287 body takes about half the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and the -S magnet feeds CMSE switch signals to the controller.
Sorting gate actuator
Diverting cartons on a conveyor line needs equal force both ways; 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa flips the gate at speeds from 30 to 500 mm/s with TPU bumpers softening each end.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X100S the Right Cylinder?
At 117.8 N per direction this 20 mm bore sits between the 16 mm TACED (75.4 N at 0.5 MPa) and the 25 mm TACED (206.2 N at 0.5 MPa), so step up a bore if your tooling needs more than about 70 N of real work. The 100 mm stroke is the maximum standard stroke for bore 20, so no made-to-order build is needed. Ports are M5x0.8, the female rod thread is M6x1.0, and FB flange, CA, CB, CR or FTC mounts can be specified. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay held.
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 TACED20X100S FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means a rod exits both covers and both sides work on the rod-side area, so output is equal each way: 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa, 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa, and up to 24.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), running at 30-500 mm/s on 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, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end and FB flange or CA/CB/CR/FTC mounting. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped into the body slots for end-of-stroke signals.
