Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X20S
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X20S 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 TACED20X20S
This double acting, double-rod compact cylinder pushes and pulls with identical force because a rod exits both covers and each side works on the rod-side area: 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa, rising to 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a small gripper or press plate stays square without an external guide. The 20 mm bore delivers up to 24.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa, and the fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke shock.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight test fixtures and bench-top automation. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a roller-burnished bore, the S45C rod is hard-chrome plated, and this S-coded version includes the optional -S magnet so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke sensing. In practice, plan on roughly 70 N of real work at 0.5 MPa (about 0.6 of the rating), which lifts around 3.5 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 TACED20X20S Is Used
Small-parts gripper on a rotary indexing table
Equal 117.8 N grip in both directions plus the non-rotating twin guide keeps delicate electronic connector housings square as the table indexes between stations.
Bench-top leak-test press fixture
The 20 mm stroke seats a test plug into automotive sensor ports, and the short ISO 21287 body fits under the low guard where a full-length profile cylinder cannot.
Vision-checked ejection station
With the fitted -S magnet and a DMSE switch at each end, the PLC confirms the reject pusher has fully retracted before the next PCB tray advances.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X20S the Right Cylinder?
At 117.8 N per direction, bore 20 suits light clamping and sorting heads. Step down to bore 16 (75.4 N at 0.5 MPa) for tiny pick-and-place fingers, or up to bore 25 (206.2 N) when a fixture needs roughly 75% more grip. Strokes to 100 mm are standard for this bore, so the 20 mm stroke here is a catalog item. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay put. The female M6x1.0 rod thread on both ends takes standard tooling, and the -S magnet on this model pairs with CMSE / DMSE switches for PLC feedback.
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 TACED20X20S FAQ
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, both ways. At the full 1.0 MPa the 20 mm bore reaches 24.0 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, 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 it fits shallow fixtures and guards. The fixed TPU bumper at each end decelerates the piston at stroke ends. This version carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount in the body slots for position feedback; FB flange, CA, CB, CR and FTC mountings are available, and the rod ends carry a female M6x1.0 thread.
