Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X80S
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X80S 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 TACED20X80S
This is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 20 mm bore with an 80 mm stroke and a rod leaving both covers, so the force is identical in each direction - 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa. The 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 S code on this model means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted anywhere along the body slots.
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. In practice, plan on roughly 70 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which corresponds to lifting about 6 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends, the hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod, and speed spans 30-500 mm/s at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).

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 TACED20X80S Is Used
Fixture clamping in tight dies
The 117.8 N through-rod force clamps small stamping fixtures from both sides, and the short body fits where an ISO 15552 profile cylinder cannot.
Non-rotating gripper slide
Twin guide rods keep a small gripper square on a pick-and-place head, moving 80 mm between a feeder and a nest at up to 500 mm/s.
Position-checked test station
With the fitted magnet, CMSE / DMSE switches confirm end positions on an electronics test press applying about 70 N of usable force.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X80S the Right Cylinder?
At 117.8 N per direction, bore 20 sits between bore 16 (75.4 N) and bore 25 (206.2 N) at 0.5 MPa - step down for light pick-and-place, up if the load approaches 200 N. The 80 mm stroke is within the 100 mm standard range for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. If the load must stay put when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check valve, since the piston will drift. FB flange mounting is available, and the female M6x1.0 rod thread suits most tooling plates.
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 TACED20X80S FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, the force is equal in both directions: 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa on the rod-side area. At the maximum 1.0 MPa rating the cylinder reaches 24.0 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it suits cramped jigs and gantries. A fixed TPU bumper at each end decelerates the piston at the ends of travel; it is not adjustable and does not hold a load, so use a rod lock or pilot check valve where position must be kept. The -S magnet on this model allows CMSE / DMSE switch mounting, and the rod end carries a female M6x1.0 thread with an M5x0.8 air port.
