Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X5S
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X5S is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 5mm 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 TACED20X5S
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the TACED20X5S pushes a 20 mm bore through a 5 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers. Because each side sees the 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, so a small gripper or plate stays square without an 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, which matters in tight jigs and guarding where every millimetre counts. This -S model carries the optional magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be fitted for end-of-stroke sensing. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. For sizing, plan on roughly 70 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, and expect 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 TACED20X5S Is Used
Fixture part ejection
A 5 mm kick on a CNC jig clears a machined part off its locator after cutting; 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa handles aluminium blanks up to a few hundred grams with margin.
Small-part gripper clamp
Twin guide rods keep the gripper jaws from rotating on connector or sensor housings, and the 5 mm stroke gives a quick clamp-release cycle at 30-500 mm/s.
Position-confirm pusher
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE / DMSE switches confirm extend and retract on a short-trim inspection pusher, so the PLC verifies every part was seated.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X5S the Right Cylinder?
At 117.8 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 20 mm bore sits between the 16 mm bore (75.4 N) and the 25 mm bore (206.2 N), so step up if your clamp or eject needs more than about 70 N of working force. The 5 mm stroke suits short-trim, part-present and ejection moves; longer runs up to 100 mm are standard for this bore. The piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must be held. Ports are M5x0.8, the rod end is female M6x1.0, and FB flange or CA/CB/CR/FTC mounts can be ordered; the -S magnet on this model enables CMSE / DMSE switch position feedback.
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 TACED20X5S FAQ
Yes. As a double-rod cylinder, the rod-side area works on both strokes, so output is equal either way: 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa, 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 bore takes a 10 mm rod through a 5 mm stroke.
The ISO 21287 short body cuts mounting length by roughly half compared with an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow guarding and tight fixtures. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. This TACED20X5S carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots for end-of-stroke detection.
