Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X90
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X90 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 90mm 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 TACED20X90
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the TACED20X90 pushes a 20 mm bore through a 90 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers. Because both faces see the rod-side area, output is identical in each direction: 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop tooling rotation and carry side load, so a gripper or plate stays square without an external guide.
The hard-anodized aluminium body pairs with an S45C hard-chrome rod, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. In practice, plan on roughly 70 N of real work at 0.5 MPa (about 0.6 of the rating), which is a vertical lift of around 6 kg - or about 3 kg with a 2:1 margin. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches; without it, no sensor can be fitted.

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 TACED20X90 Is Used
Bidirectional electronics gripper
A twin-guide yoke gripping PCB trays on a small SMT transfer arm needs equal clamp force opening and closing - the 20 mm bore delivers 117.8 N each way at 0.5 MPa without any external anti-rotation guide.
Compact reject pusher on a bottling line
Where guard space is tight, the short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and the 90 mm stroke kicks underweight bottles off the belt in either travel direction.
Lab sample shuttle with position sensing
A vial shuttle inside an analytical instrument uses the optional -S magnet with CMSE / DMSE switches for end-of-stroke confirmation, running at 30-500 mm/s on filtered air at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X90 the Right Cylinder?
At 117.8 N per direction, the 20 mm bore sits between the 16 mm (75.4 N) and 25 mm (206.2 N) options at 0.5 MPa - step down for light pick-and-place, up when the part is heavier. The 90 mm stroke is within the 100 mm standard limit for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost; add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay put. FB flange mounting and the optional -S magnet (for CMSE / DMSE switches) should be chosen at order time, and the rod ends in a female M6x1.0 thread with a PT port.
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 TACED20X90 FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both faces, so output is equal either way: 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 pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the port is M5x0.8 on this 20 mm bore.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod, roughly 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy but does not hold or brake a load - it drifts if air is lost. Position sensing requires the optional -S magnet ordered with the cylinder; only then can CMSE / DMSE switches be mounted. FB flange mounting is available.
