Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X60S
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X60S 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 TACED20X60S
The TACED20X60S is a double acting, double rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 20 mm bore with a 60 mm stroke, a 10 mm rod leaving both covers, and an M5x0.8 port. Because both chambers see the rod-side area, output is 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction - push and pull are identical. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a gripper or plate stays square without an external guide.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it drops into tight jigs, guards and gantries. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a fixed TPU bumper at each end, and the S45C hard-chrome rod with M6x1.0 female thread takes standard tooling. In practice, plan on roughly 70 N (about 7 kg of force) of real work at 0.5 MPa, or match it to a part weight: with a 2:1 margin this cylinder lifts about 6 kg vertically. The -S code on this model means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted directly on the body slots.

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 TACED20X60S Is Used
Fixture clamping on CNC jigs
The twin guide yoke keeps a clamp plate square on a milling fixture, and the 117.8 N both-ways force clamps and releases with identical grip at 0.5 MPa.
Pushing small parts off a conveyor
A 60 mm stroke sweeps 6 kg-class components off a packaging line belt, with the compact body fitting under low guard rails where a full-length cylinder will not.
Position-verified sorting station
The fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches, so a PLC confirms extend and retract on a 30-500 mm/s sorting actuation without external proxies.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X60S 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 fixture needs more than about 200 N. The 60 mm stroke is within the 100 mm standard range for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. Choose FB flange mounting if you bolt to a plate, and remember the cylinder does not hold position when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. This unit already carries the optional -S magnet for 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 TACED20X60S FAQ
Yes - the double rod means both sides see the rod-side area, so output is equal both ways: 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 range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um, temperature -20 to +70 C.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it suits tight gantries and jigs. This TACED20X60S carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount in the body slots. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and the rod end is an M6x1.0 female thread with FB flange mounting available.
