The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X35 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 35mm 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.
Double acting with a through rod that exits both covers, the TACED20X35 delivers 117.8 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa (164.9 N at 0.7 MPa) because both strokes work on the rod-side area. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry light side load, so a small gripper or pusher plate stays square without an external guide. The 20 mm bore takes an M5x0.8 port and a female M6x1.0 rod thread.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which makes this 35 mm stroke version easy to drop into tight fixtures and guarding. At 0.5 MPa the 117.8 N output lifts about 12 kg vertically, or plan on roughly 6 kg with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches - without the -S code there is no magnet.

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 closes the gripper with the same 117.8 N it opens with, and the twin guide yoke keeps the jaws from twisting on misaligned parts.
A 35 mm stroke is enough to kick an undersized bottle off a narrow conveyor lane, and the compact body fits between the guide rails.
About 6 kg of usable vertical force at 0.5 MPa seats vials or caps gently, with the TPU bumper softening every end-of-stroke stop.
For this 20 mm bore, 117.8 N both ways at 0.5 MPa suits light clamping and small part transfer. Step down to TACED16 (75.4 N) for lighter tooling, or up to TACED25 (206.2 N) when the load grows. The 35 mm stroke sits well inside the 100 mm maximum standard stroke for bore 20, so it ships as a standard build. Order the -S code if you need position sensing, and pick FB flange or CA/CB/CR/FTC mounts to suit the machine. Note the piston will drift if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a held load matters.
Quick checklist
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, output 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. That 117.8 N corresponds to lifting about 12 kg vertically, or roughly 6 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 30-500 mm/s, and the M5x0.8 port is fixed by the 20 mm bore.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome plated rod, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end that only decelerates the stroke ends. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. Position sensing requires the optional -S magnet code - order TACED20X35S and CMSE / DMSE switches can be mounted in the body slots; the base model has no magnet.
