The AirTAC TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED63X20S 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.
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the TACED63X20S pushes a 16 mm rod out of both covers, so the 63 mm bore delivers 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa in each direction - the rod-side area is identical on both sides. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, keeping a gripper or press plate square without an external guide.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and gantries. This -S model carries the optional magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke sensing. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock.

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 equal 1458.1 N force in both directions clamps and releases a machined housing with identical pressure on a CNC fixture plate, with the twin guide yoke keeping the clamp shoe square.
On a bottling line transfer station, the double rod pushes trays forward and retracts with the same 1458.1 N, while CMSE switches on the -S magnet confirm each completed stroke.
At 1458.1 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 63 mm bore suits clamping and lifting in the 100-200 kg class; step down to the 50 mm bore (881.2 N) for lighter tooling or up to the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N) when the part is heavier. The 20 mm stroke is a 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 held. The female M10x1.5 rod thread on the yoke takes standard tooling, FB flange mounting is available, and the fitted -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switch position feedback.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design means a rod exits both covers, so both strokes act on the rod-side area. Force is 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa, equal in extend and retract, with a maximum of 297.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range 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.
The S in TACED63X20S means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots for end-of-stroke or mid-stroke signals. Mounting is via the FB flange option; the 1/8" port thread is PT as standard (G available). The fixed TPU bumpers at both ends only decelerate the piston at stroke ends - the cylinder does not lock or hold a load if air pressure is lost.
