Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X20
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X20 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 20mm 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 TACED20X20
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the TACED20X20 pushes a 20 mm bore through a 20 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers. Because both chambers see the rod-side area, output is identical in each direction: 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa, equal push and pull. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a small gripper or plate stays square with no external guide.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, letting this unit slip into tight fixtures, guarding and gantries. In practice, plan on roughly 70 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa (about 0.6 of the rating), which is the equivalent of lifting about 6 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body pairs with an S45C hard-chrome rod, a fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).

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 TACED20X20 Is Used
Small-part gripper on a pick cell
The non-rotating twin guide yoke keeps gripper jaws square on 6-10 kg plastic housings, with 117.8 N of equal grip force in both directions over a 20 mm close.
Sample press in a lab automation deck
About 70 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa seats vials or lids gently, and the short ISO 21287 body fits the cramped space under a microscope stage.
Push-off station on an electronics conveyor
Equal 117.8 N output both ways nudges PCB carriers off a rail at 30-500 mm/s, with the M5x0.8 port simplifying tubing on compact manifolds.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X20 the Right Cylinder?
At 117.8 N per side, the 20 mm bore sits between the 16 mm bore (75.4 N at 0.5 MPa) and the 25 mm bore (206.2 N at 0.5 MPa), so step up if your tooling needs more than about 70 N of working force. The 20 mm stroke is well inside the 100 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a standard build. Note that the piston drifts when air is lost - for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. This version has no magnet; order the -S code if you want CMSE / DMSE switch positions, and specify FB flange or CA/CB/CR/FTC mounting as needed.
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 TACED20X20 FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means a rod exits both covers, so both strokes act on the rod-side area. Output is 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa, identical push and pull, with a maximum of 24.0 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 rod end carries a female M6x1.0 thread.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it suits tight jigs and guarding. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. Sensors are not fitted on this version: the magnet is the optional -S code, which enables CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches on the body's magnet slots. Mounting options include FB flange and CA, CB, CR or FTC hardware.
