The AirTAC TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED63X20 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm 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.
This is a double acting, double rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 63 mm bore with a 16 mm rod leaving both covers, so the force is identical in each direction - 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa either way. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling from rotating and take side load, so a gripper or press plate stays square without an external guide. The body is hard-anodized aluminium with an S45C hard-chrome plated rod, and a fixed TPU bumper sits at each end.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it drops into tight jigs, guards and gantries. For sizing, treat roughly 875 N (about 89 kg) as the usable working force at 0.5 MPa instead of the full 1458.1 N rating - that margin keeps acceleration and friction honest. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s and the magnet is the optional -S code, not a default fitting.

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.
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 1458 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 2041 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 297 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.

ACE-family variants: ACE (double acting), ASE / ATE (single acting push / pull), ACED (double rod), ACEJ (double rod, adjustable stroke), TACE / TACED (non-rotating twin-guide yoke). Mounting accessories: FA / FB flange, LB foot, CA / CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, FTC; plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G.
The 1458.1 N through-rod clamps brackets from either side of a welding jig, and the twin guide yoke keeps the clamp pad square to the part.
Equal force both ways makes the double rod ideal for sliding machine guards: 1458.1 N opens the gate and the same 1458.1 N closes it.
At 63 mm bore the through-rod gives 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa in both directions; if your load needs less, the 50 mm bore delivers 881.2 N, and the 80 mm bore steps up to 2356.2 N. The 20 mm stroke sits well inside the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a catalogue item. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. Ports are 1/8" (PT thread as ordered), the rod end is female M10x1.5, FB flange mounting is available, and order the -S code if you want CMSE / DMSE switch capability.
Quick checklist
Because a 16 mm rod exits both covers, both strokes see the rod-side area: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa, equal in each direction. At the 1.0 MPa maximum the force reaches 297.4 kgf. 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 working medium is air filtered to 40 um.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it suits tight machine frames. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. Sensors are not ready out of the box: the magnet is the optional -S code, and only with -S ordered can CMSE or DMSE switches be mounted in the body slots.
