The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X70S is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 70mm 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.
This 20 mm bore unit is double acting with a double rod: a rod exits both covers, so the output force is equal in both directions at 117.8 N per side at 0.5 MPa (164.9 N at 0.7 MPa). Twin guide rods on a yoke keep the tooling from rotating and carry side load, so a gripper or plate stays square without an external guide. 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.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters in tight jigs, guards and gantries. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. For sizing, plan on roughly 70 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, and note the rod-side area lifts about 6 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, with a hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod.

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.

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.

ACE-family variants: ACE (double acting), ASE / ATE (single acting push / pull), ACED (double rod), ACEJ (adjustable stroke), TACE / TACED (non-rotating twin-guide yoke). Mounting accessories: FA / FB flange, LB foot, CA / CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, FTC; plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G.
The non-rotating twin guide yoke keeps small gripper jaws square on an electronics assembly line, with equal 117.8 N grip force in both directions at 0.5 MPa.
A rod exits both covers, so one cylinder can push parts off a conveyor in either direction without reversing plumbing - same 117.8 N each way.
The fitted -S magnet drives CMSE / DMSE switches for end-of-stroke signals on automated sample handling, inside the 70 mm stroke envelope.
At 117.8 N both ways at 0.5 MPa, this bore suits light clamping and transfer where equal force in extend and retract matters. If you need more, the 32 mm size delivers 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa; if less, the 16 mm size gives 75.4 N. The 70 mm stroke sits inside the 100 mm max standard stroke for bore 20, so it is a catalogue item. It does not hold position when air is lost - for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. Female M6x1.0 rod thread, PT ports, and FB flange mounting are available; the fitted -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switch sensing.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design means a rod exits both covers and both sides see the rod-side area, so force is equal both ways: 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa. At 1.0 MPa the maximum output is 24.0 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um, -20 to +70 C.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow gantries and guarded stations. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches clamp into the body slots for position sensing. Ends of stroke are decelerated by fixed TPU bumpers, and the female M6x1.0 rod thread with PT ports keeps hookup simple.
