Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED50X20
The AirTAC TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED50X20 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm 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 TACED50X20
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the TACED50X20 pushes a 50 mm bore through a 20 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers. Because each side sees the rod-side area, output is identical in both directions: 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a gripper or press plate stays square without an external guide.
The hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures and guarded cells. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, the S45C hard-chrome rod resists wear, and the female M10x1.5 rod thread plus 1/8" PT ports keep plumbing simple.

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 (Ø50mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 881 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1234 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 180 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 TACED50X20 Is Used
Symmetric press stamping
The equal 881.2 N force in both directions lets a small marking or embossing head strike and retract with identical power on a 20 mm cycle, guided square by the twin rods.
Dual-sided gripper actuation
A rod exiting both covers drives two gripper jaws from one cylinder, delivering 881.2 N each way at 0.5 MPa without a reversing bracket in a packaging machine.
Short-stroke parts ejecting
On an assembly line fixture, the 20 mm stroke kicks finished components off a nest, with the non-rotating yoke keeping the ejector plate aligned shot after shot.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED50X20 the Right Cylinder?
At 881.2 N per direction, the 50 mm bore sits between the 40 mm (571.8 N) and 63 mm (1458.1 N) choices at 0.5 MPa, so step down for lighter clamping or up for heavier press work. The 20 mm stroke is well inside the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay put. Mount with the FB flange, and if you need position feedback, order the -S variant so CMSE or DMSE switches can be fitted; the base model carries no magnet.
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 TACED50X20 FAQ
Yes. Because a rod exits both covers, both strokes act on the rod-side area, so output is equal either way: 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa, 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 179.7 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 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, which is why it fits shallow jigs and guarded gantries. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. Sensing is not included by default: order the optional -S magnet code to enable CMSE or DMSE switches; the plain TACED50X20 has no magnet.
