Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X50
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X50 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 50mm 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 TACED20X50
Double acting with a through rod exiting both covers, the TACED20X50 delivers 117.8 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa (164.9 N at 0.7 MPa) because both sides work on the rod-side area. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a gripper or fixture plate stays square without an external guide. The 20 mm bore takes a 10 mm rod and M5x0.8 ports, and the female rod end is threaded M6x1.0.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, letting this 50 mm stroke unit slot into tight jigs, guards and gantries. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a roller-burnished bore, the S45C hard-chrome rod resists wear, and fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke energy. As a working figure, plan on roughly 70 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 6 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 TACED20X50 Is Used
Gripper actuation on assembly robots
Equal 117.8 N force in both directions and a non-rotating yoke keep small gripper jaws square when handling connector housings or plastic clips on an electronics assembly cell.
Push-off in jig fixtures
The 50 mm stroke ejects machined bushings from a drilling jig, and the short ISO 21287 body fits where a full-length profile cylinder cannot.
Reciprocating slide on a packaging line
Running at 30-500 mm/s, the through rod drives a small diverting slide both ways at identical force, sorting cartons between two conveyor lanes.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X50 the Right Cylinder?
At 117.8 N per side, the 20 mm bore sits between the 16 mm bore (75.4 N at 0.5 MPa) and the 25 mm bore (206.2 N at 0.5 MPa) - step down for light pick-and-place, up if your tooling needs more grip. The piston drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if a load must be held. Order the -S code if you want the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches; this base model has no magnet fitted. FB flange mounting is available, and strokes up to 100 mm are standard for this bore.
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 TACED20X50 FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means a rod exits both covers, so both strokes work on the rod-side area. Output is 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa, equal in each direction, with a maximum of 24.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um, temperature -20 to +70 C.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome plated rod, threaded aluminium covers and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends; the short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. Sensing is possible only if you order the optional -S magnet version, which accepts CMSE / DMSE switches - this base TACED20X50 has no magnet, so no sensor can be mounted.
