Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X45S
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X45S 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 TACED20X45S
The TACED20X45S is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 20 mm bore with a 45 mm stroke, a 10 mm rod leaving both covers, and twin guide rods on a yoke that stop the tooling rotating and carry side load. Because both strokes see the rod-side area, output is equal in each direction - 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa, with a peak of 24.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa. In practice that means about 70 N (roughly 7 kg) of dependable working force, or a vertical lift of about 6 kg with a 2:1 margin.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated rod runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, and -20 to +70 C. The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures where a full-length body cannot. Fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke shock at both ends, and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches for position feedback.

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 TACED20X45S Is Used
Fixture clamping in tight machining cells
The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so twin 117.8 N clamps fit inside crowded CNC fixture plates without protruding past the guard line.
Non-rotating gripper on an assembly robot
Twin guide rods keep a small gripper square while picking connector housings, and the fitted -S magnet with CMSE / DMSE switches confirms open and closed positions to the PLC.
Lab sample press with equal both-way force
A rod exits both covers, so 117.8 N is available pressing down and retracting up - useful for a compact test station that ejects and resets a sample tray in one cycle.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X45S the Right Cylinder?
At 117.8 N per direction, the 20 mm bore sits between the 16 mm (75.4 N) and 25 mm (206.2 N) sizes - step up to 25 mm if your clamp needs more margin, or down to 16 mm for lighter pick-and-place work. The 45 mm stroke is within the 100 mm standard range for this bore, so it ships as a catalog item. The female M6x1.0 rod thread on both ends suits threaded tooling plates; choose FB flange, CA/CB, CR or FTC mounting to match the machine. Remember it drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put.
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 TACED20X45S FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means a rod exits both covers and both strokes use the rod-side area, so force is equal either way: 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa, peaking at 24.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
The S is the optional -S magnet code, so this model carries the magnet and accepts CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches for end-of-stroke detection. The body is a hard-anodized aluminium ISO 21287 compact cylinder with an S45C hard-chrome rod, M5x0.8 ports, a female M6x1.0 thread on both rod ends, fixed TPU bumpers at each end, and FB/CA/CB/CR/FTC mounting options.
