Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X50S
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X50S 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 TACED20X50S
Double acting and double rod, the TACED20X50S pushes a rod out of both covers of its ISO 21287 compact body, so the 20 mm bore delivers an identical 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa in each direction (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 without an external guide. The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated 10 mm rod runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s.
The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why this bore class fits tight jigs, guards and gantries. Because the rod-side area works both ways, plan on roughly 70 N of real work at 0.5 MPa instead of the full rating, and note the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke energy, 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 TACED20X50S Is Used
Small-part ejection from plastic molds
The equal 117.8 N push and pull at 0.5 MPa ejects and retracts a stripper plate on an injection mold, and the twin guide rods keep the ejector plate from cocking.
Vial indexing on a lab filling line
A 50 mm stroke advances vial trays one pitch at a time; the fitted -S magnet with a DMSE switch confirms each index position before the fill head drops.
Bidirectional pusher on a PCB conveyor
The through-rod design pushes rejected boards off the belt in either direction with identical force, and the non-rotating yoke keeps the pusher pad square to the rail.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X50S the Right Cylinder?
At 117.8 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 20 mm bore suits light clamping and small-part transfer; step down to the 16 mm bore (75.4 N) for lighter loads or up to the 25 mm bore (206.2 N) when you need roughly 75% more force. The 50 mm stroke sits well inside the 100 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a stock-configured length. Ports are M5x0.8, the rod end carries a female M6x1.0 thread, and FB flange, CA, CB, CR or FTC mounts can be specified. If you need position sensing, this -S model already carries the magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches.
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 TACED20X50S 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 pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the port is M5x0.8 with a female M6x1.0 rod thread.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow fixtures where a full-length cylinder will not. This -S model carries the optional magnet, so CMSE reed or DMSE solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots for end-of-stroke or mid-stroke sensing. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and FB flange, CA, CB, CR or FTC mountings are available.
