Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED50X20S
The AirTAC TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED50X20S 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 TACED50X20S
Double acting and double rod, the TACED50X20S pushes with equal force in both directions because a rod exits each cover and both sides work on the rod-side area. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 881.2 N (1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa), and the 50 mm bore tops out at 179.7 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Twin guide rods on a yoke stop the tooling from rotating and carry side load, so a gripper or press plate stays square without an external guide.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it drops into tight jigs, guarding and gantries. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a hard-chrome plated S45C rod, a fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke energy at both ends, and this -S version carries the optional magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be mounted for end-of-stroke detection.

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 TACED50X20S Is Used
Fixture clamping
Clamps machined aluminium housings on a CNC fixture; the twin guide yoke keeps the clamp pad square and the 881.2 N hold is equal on clamp and release.
Pick-and-place gripper drive
Drives a two-finger gripper on a small robot cell; the non-rotating guide rods stop the fingers twisting, and the -S magnet feeds CMSE switch signals to the PLC.
Bench press staking
Stakes small terminals on an electronics bench press; the 20 mm stroke suits short-travel work and the 45 kg vertical-lift margin covers light staking loads.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED50X20S the Right Cylinder?
At 881.2 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, the 50 mm bore sits between the 40 mm (571.8 N) and 63 mm (1458.1 N) choices - step down for lighter clamping, up for heavier pressing. Strokes to 100 mm are standard for this bore, so the 20 mm stroke is a stock item. Remember it does not hold position when air is lost; add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. FB flange, CA, CB, CR and FTC mountings are available, and the -S magnet on this model enables CMSE / DMSE switch feedback.
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 TACED50X20S FAQ
Yes - it is a double-rod cylinder, so a rod exits both covers and both directions see the rod-side area. Output is 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa, equal both ways, with a maximum of 179.7 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um, temperature -20 to +70 C.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits where a full-length cylinder will not. The -S code means the optional magnet is fitted on this model, allowing CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches for position sensing. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, FB flange and other mountings are offered, and the rod end carries a female M10x1.5 thread with a 1/8" PT port.
