Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X60
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X60 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 60mm 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 TACED20X60
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the TACED20X60 pushes a 20 mm bore through a 60 mm stroke with rods leaving both covers. Because each side works on 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 turning, so a gripper or plate stays square without an external guide.
The short hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight jigs and guarding where a full-length body will not fit. In practice, plan on roughly 70 N (about 7 kg of thrust) of real work at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating, or about 6 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, the S45C rod is hard-chrome plated, and the M5x0.8 ports suit small-bore air lines.

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 TACED20X60 Is Used
Fixture clamping in tight cells
The short ISO 21287 body and 60 mm stroke let the TACED20X60 clamp small machined parts inside compact jigs, with twin guide rods keeping the clamp pad square to the part.
Symmetric gripper actuation
Equal 117.8 N output in both directions at 0.5 MPa suits a two-finger gripper on an electronics assembly line, where grip and release force must match.
Push-pull indexing slides
A through-rod driving a small indexing slide on a packaging machine gets identical force each way, with the non-rotating yoke carrying light side load.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X60 the Right Cylinder?
At 117.8 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 20 mm bore sits between the 16 mm (75.4 N) and 25 mm (206.2 N) classes - step down for light pick-and-place, up if your tooling needs more than about 12 kg of push. The 60 mm stroke is within the 100 mm standard range for this bore, so no made-to-order length is needed. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost; add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must be held. Order the -S code if you want the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches, and note the rod end is female M6x1.0 with no rod-thread option on the yoke.
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 TACED20X60 FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means both directions work on the rod-side area, so output is equal either way: 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa, 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 24.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed range is 30-500 mm/s.
The body is hard-anodized aluminium to ISO 21287, roughly 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end to absorb end-of-stroke impact. FB flange mounting is available. Position sensing needs the optional -S magnet - without it no switch can be fitted; with it, CMSE or DMSE switches mount in the body slots. Air should be filtered to 40 um.
