Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X45
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X45 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 45mm 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 TACED20X45
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the TACED20X45 pushes and pulls with identical force: 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, because both chambers work on the rod-side area. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a gripper or plate stays square without an external guide. The 20 mm bore takes M5x0.8 ports and an M6x1.0 female rod thread.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, letting this 45 mm stroke unit slot into tight jigs and gantries. At 0.5 MPa the 117.8 N output gives a usable working figure of roughly 70 N, which is about 6 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin - enough to raise small covers or fixture plates. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and the hard-anodized aluminium body with S45C hard-chrome rod resists wear. Speed range is 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 TACED20X45 Is Used
Fixture clamping in tight jigs
The short ISO 21287 body needs about half the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so the 45 mm stroke unit clamps workpieces inside crowded machining fixtures where a full-length cylinder will not fit.
Square pick-and-place gripping
Twin guide rods keep a small gripper from rotating while the through-rod gives 117.8 N on both open and close strokes at 0.5 MPa, handling parts up to about 6 kg in vertical lift terms with a 2:1 margin.
Lab and test station push-pull
Equal force in both directions suits test rigs that must press a probe in and retract it with the same 117.8 N, while the M5x0.8 ports and 30-500 mm/s speed range suit compact benchtop automation.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X45 the Right Cylinder?
For lighter duties, the TACED16 delivers 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa; for more muscle step up to the TACED25 at 206.2 N. Both directions of the TACED20X45 give the same 117.8 N, so sizing is simple - match the load to one figure. It will not hold position if air is lost; add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. The 45 mm stroke sits well inside the 100 mm standard for this bore. Order the -S code if you want the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches; without it no sensor can be fitted. FB flange mounting is available.
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 TACED20X45 FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means a rod exits both covers and both strokes work on the rod-side area, so output is equal in each direction: 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa. At 1.0 MPa the maximum is 24.0 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the bore 20 port is M5x0.8 with an M6x1.0 female rod thread.
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 absorbing end-of-stroke energy. Position sensing needs the optional -S magnet: order TACED20X45S and CMSE / DMSE switches can be mounted in the body slots. Without the -S code there is no magnet and no sensor can be fitted. FB flange mounting is available.
