Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X80
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X80 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 80mm 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 TACED20X80
The TACED20X80 is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 10 mm hard-chrome-plated S45C rod exits both covers, so the 20 mm bore delivers 117.8 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa and 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa - identical push and pull because both sides work on the rod-side area. Twin guide rods on the yoke keep the tooling from rotating and carry side load, so a gripper or plate stays square without an external guide.
Its 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, guards and gantries. In practice, plan for roughly 70 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, and treat it as lifting about 6 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, speed runs 30-500 mm/s, and the rod end carries a female M6x1.0 thread.

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 TACED20X80 Is Used
Fixture clamping in tight jigs
The 80 mm stroke and short ISO 21287 body reach deep into a milling fixture where a full-length profile cylinder would foul the guard, clamping with 117.8 N from either direction.
Non-rotating gripper plate
Twin guide rods hold a small pick-and-place gripper square on a PCB handling line, so the part never twists during transfer at 30-500 mm/s.
Lab slide push-pull station
Equal 117.8 N force both ways lets a sample slide be pushed out and retracted with identical power, with the M5x0.8 ports plumbed on the 20 mm bore body.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X80 the Right Cylinder?
At 117.8 N per side, the 20 mm bore sits between the 16 mm (75.4 N) and 25 mm (206.2 N) double-rod sizes - step down for light pick-and-place, up if your tooling needs more grip. The 80 mm stroke is within the 100 mm standard range for this bore. Add the optional -S magnet if you want CMSE or DMSE switches; without it no sensor can be fitted. FB flange mounting is available, and remember the piston drifts if air is lost, so use a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must be held.
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 TACED20X80 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 push and pull, 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 20 mm bore uses M5x0.8 ports with a female M6x1.0 rod thread.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end to absorb end-of-stroke energy. Position sensing is available only if you order the optional -S magnet code, which enables CMSE or DMSE switches; the standard TACED20X80 has no magnet fitted.
