Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X35S
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X35S 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.

About the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X35S
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the TACED20X35S pushes a 20 mm bore through a 35 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers. Because each side sees the same rod-side area, output is identical in either 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 with no external guide. The hard-anodized aluminium body pairs with an S45C hard-chrome-plated rod for long service life.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs, guarding and gantries. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and this -S model carries the optional magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be fitted for position feedback. In practice, plan on roughly 70 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which is about 6 kg of vertical lift 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 TACED20X35S Is Used
Pick-and-place gripper
The through-rod gives 117.8 N of closing force on a small robotic gripper, and the twin guide yoke keeps the jaws aligned without a separate guide rail.
Fixture clamping on a CNC line
Equal 117.8 N clamping in both directions suits a swing-away jig clamp on a machining fixture, where the 35 mm stroke clears the part quickly at up to 500 mm/s.
Indexing table with position check
With the -S magnet and a DMSE switch, a 20 mm indexing slide on an electronics assembly bench confirms advance and retract on a 35 mm move.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X35S the Right Cylinder?
At 117.8 N per direction, bore 20 sits between bore 16 (75.4 N at 0.5 MPa) and bore 25 (206.2 N at 0.5 MPa), so step up if your part or fixture needs more grip force. The 35 mm stroke is well inside the 100 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. FB flange mounting is available, and the -S magnet in this model lets CMSE / DMSE switches report position. Air supply should be filtered to 40 um, 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed range 30-500 mm/s.
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 TACED20X35S FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means a rod exits both covers and both strokes act on the rod-side area, so force is equal in each direction: 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa. At the full 1.0 MPa rating the cylinder reaches about 24 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, running on air filtered to 40 um at 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits narrow gantries and guarding. The twin guide rods on the yoke prevent load rotation and carry side load, and fixed TPU bumpers at each end absorb end-of-stroke energy. This -S version carries the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches; the rod end is a female M6x1.0 thread and the port is M5x0.8.
