AirTAC ATE Series Single-Acting Compact Cylinders

The AirTAC ATE series is the single-acting, spring-return pull version of the ISO 21287 ACE compact cylinder. It uses air to retract (pull) the rod, while a built-in spring extends it back to its home position when air is released. This makes it ideal for fail-safe extend tasks like hold-downs or pin retraction. The series covers 10 bore sizes from 12 to 100 mm, with short strokes up to 10 mm for bore 12 and up to 25 mm for bores 16-100. Net pull force at 0.5 MPa spans from about 26 N (bore 12) to 3484 N (bore 100).

All ATE cylinders share a hard-anodized aluminum body, an S45C hard-chrome rod, a two-way seal, and a fixed TPU bumper that only decelerates the piston near stroke end - it does not lock or hold loads. Ports are M5x0.8 for bores 12-25, 1/8 inch for 32-63, and 1/4 inch for 80-100. Rod thread is female as standard, with a male option (add suffix -B). A magnetic piston (-S option) enables position sensing with AirTAC switches. Operating pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa, temperature -20 to +80 C, and air filtration 40 um. The ATE complies with ISO 21287 compact cylinder standard, not tie-rod or ISO 15552.
