Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED32X20S
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED32X20S 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 TACED32X20S
The TACED32X20S is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 32 mm bore and a 20 mm stroke in a hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated rod. Because a rod exits both covers, the force is the same in each direction - 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa - so the same push figure applies whether the tooling moves out or back. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the load rotating and carry side load, keeping a gripper or plate square without an external guide.
The short ISO 21287 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. The fitted -S magnet allows CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches for end-of-stroke sensing. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and as a sizing rule of thumb about 207 N of the 0.5 MPa rating is usable for real work - roughly lifting 17 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

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 TACED32X20S Is Used
Push-pull fixture clamping
Equal 345.6 N force in both directions lets one TACED32X20S clamp and release a machining fixture with identical force, with the twin guide yoke keeping the clamp pad square to the part.
Reject gate on packaging lines
A 20 mm stroke is enough to kick off-spec cartons off a conveyor; the compact body fits under guarding where a full-length profile cylinder would not, and the -S magnet feeds CMSE switch signals to the PLC.
Two-sided gripper actuation
With a rod exiting both covers, the same cylinder can drive opposing gripper jaws on a pick-and-place head, holding about 17 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin at 0.5 MPa.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED32X20S the Right Cylinder?
At 345.6 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, the 32 mm bore suits clamping and transfer tasks in the 20-30 kg class; step down to TACED25X20S (206.2 N) for lighter fixtures or up to TACED40X20S (571.8 N) when the load grows. The 20 mm stroke is well inside the standard range for bore 32, so no made-to-order stroke is needed. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) filtered to 40 um, speed 30-500 mm/s. The cylinder does not hold position if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. FB flange mounting is available, and the -S magnet on this model pairs with CMSE / DMSE switches; ports are 1/8" PT and the female rod thread is M8x1.25.
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 TACED32X20S FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means both directions work on the rod-side area, so output is equal each way: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, fluid air filtered to 40 um.
The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits cramped jigs and gantries. The twin guide rods on the yoke prevent load rotation and carry side load without external guiding. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be mounted for position sensing, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. FB flange mounting is offered; confirm detailed dimensions from the datasheet.
