Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED80X20
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED80X20 is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 20mm stroke, 1/4" 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 TACED80X20
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the TACED80X20 pushes a 20 mm rod out of both covers, so the 80 mm bore delivers 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa in each direction - the same force forward and back, because both sides work on the rod-side area. 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 with an S45C hard-chrome plated rod runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into wide clamp fixtures and gantry stations where a full-length body will not reach. At 0.5 MPa the 2356.2 N rating works out to roughly 240 kg of vertical lift, so halving for a 2:1 margin means it lifts about 120 kg vertically - enough to raise a loaded pallet jig or a steel weldment fixture. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches when ordered.

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 (Ø80mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 2356 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 3299 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 481 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 TACED80X20 Is Used
Weldment fixture clamping
The equal 2356.2 N force in both directions clamps a steel weldment from either side of a robotic welding fixture, while the twin guide rods keep the clamp plate square under side load.
Pallet lift-and-lower station
With about 120 kg of vertical lift at a 2:1 margin, the 80 mm bore raises and lowers a loaded pallet jig through the short 20 mm stroke inside a tight assembly cell.
Bearing press assist
3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa presses bearings into housing bores on a small assembly press, and the non-rotating yoke keeps the ram from spinning against the part.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED80X20 the Right Cylinder?
At 80 mm bore this is the second-strongest TACED size: 2356.2 N both ways at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa, with a 480.5 kgf ceiling at 1.0 MPa. If your clamping or pressing job sits under 1458 N, step down to the bore 63 TACED; if you need over 3300 N, the 100 mm bore gives 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa. The 20 mm stroke is well inside the standard range for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. Remember it drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. Rod end is a female M12x1.75 thread with a 1/4" PT port; FB flange mounting is available, and the optional -S magnet is what allows CMSE / DMSE position switches.
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 TACED80X20 FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design puts a 20 mm rod through both covers, so both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 80 mm bore. Output is 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa, identical extending and retracting, with a maximum of 480.5 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, on air filtered to 40 um.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body whose threaded covers save about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder - useful in crowded jig plates and gantries. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. Position sensing needs the optional -S magnet code: without it there is no magnet and no switch can be read; with it, CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount in the body slots. Mounting is FB flange, and the female M12x1.75 rod thread is fixed - there is no rod-thread option on the yoke.
