Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED32X20
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED32X20 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 20mm stroke, 1/8" 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 TACED32X20
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the TACED32X20 delivers 345.6 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 32 mm bore and short 20 mm stroke suit tight pick-and-place heads where a full-length body will not fit; the ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. 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 hard-anodized aluminium body carries a hard-chrome plated S45C rod, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. Run it on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, -20 to +70 C. As a buyer rule of thumb, plan on roughly 207 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 17 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. If air is lost the piston drifts, so use a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must be held.

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 (Ø32mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 484 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 70 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 TACED32X20 Is Used
Double-sided part clamping
Equal 345.6 N force in both directions lets one cylinder press a machined housing into a fixture and retract it with the same force, halving cycle hardware on a CNC loading station.
Non-rotating gripper plate
The twin guide yoke keeps a small vacuum pick plate square over a 20 mm stroke, so PCB panels transfer from tray to conveyor without twisting.
Lab sample pusher
A short-body pusher for vial racks inside a guarded analyser enclosure, where the compact ISO 21287 body fits the 20 mm travel in a cramped slide.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED32X20 the Right Cylinder?
At 345.6 N per direction this bore 32 unit sits between the 25 mm bore (206.2 N) and the 40 mm bore (571.8 N) at 0.5 MPa. Step down when the part is light, step up for heavier clamping. The 20 mm stroke is a standard stroke for bore 32, so it ships as a catalogue item. Rod end is a female M8x1.25 thread and the port is 1/8" PT. Mounting is FB flange. Position feedback needs the optional -S magnet code; without it no CMSE / DMSE switch can be fitted.
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 TACED32X20 FAQ
Yes. Because a rod exits both covers, both strokes act on the rod-side area: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, equal in extend and retract. At 1.0 MPa the maximum is 70.5 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, ideal for guarded or gantry-mounted tooling. Sensors are possible only when you order the optional -S magnet code, which enables CMSE / DMSE switches; the base TACED32X20 has no magnet. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock.
