Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE100X10
The AirTAC Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE100X10 is a genuine single acting, pull (spring return) ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 10mm 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.

About the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE100X10
This AirTAC ATE100X10 is a single acting pull cylinder, spring-return type where the spring extends the rod and air retracts it. With a 100 mm bore, it delivers a net pull of 3483.6 N at 0.5 MPa, and 4991.6 N at 0.7 MPa, making it a strong choice for compact automation tasks.
The ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, saving valuable mounting space in tight fixtures. For a safe working load, plan for around 2090 N (about 213 kg) of real work at 0.5 MPa, not the full rating, to ensure reliable operation. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs energy, and the hard-anodized aluminium body with S45C hard-chrome rod ensures durability.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACE-series (ISO 21287) datasheet. Body: hard-anodized aluminium alloy; piston rod: S45C carbon steel with hard-chrome plating. 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 (Ø100mm)
| Pressure | Pull force (spring return) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3483.6 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 4991.6 N |
Single-acting pull: the spring extends the rod; air retracts it. Forces already net the spring; minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa. Single-acting strokes are short (Ø12 to 10 mm, Ø16-100 to 25 mm).

Where the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE100X10 Is Used
Press Tending Pull
Use the ATE100X10 to pull a heavy guard or door closed on a stamping press, with the spring extending the rod to open it when air is released. The 3483.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa handles substantial panels in tight machine frames.
Conveyor Stop Gate
In a warehouse sorting line, this cylinder retracts a stop gate to release a carton, then the spring returns it to block the next item. The 10 mm stroke is perfect for quick gate movement, and the compact body fits under the conveyor bed.
Clamp Release Mechanism
On a robotic workcell, the ATE100X10 pulls a clamp open to free a part, with the spring closing it for the next cycle. The 4991.6 N pull at 0.7 MPa ensures it can overcome sticky fixtures, and the fixed TPU bumper prevents end-of-stroke shock.
Is the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE100X10 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this ATE100X10 when you need a strong pull force in a short stroke application. For lighter loads, consider the ATE80X25 with a 2159.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or step down to the ATE63X25 for 1320.0 N. This model is ideal for pulling operations where the spring returns the rod to its extended position on air loss, but it does not hold a mid-stroke position. Mounting options include FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, and FTC brackets, all fitting the ISO 21287 face. The optional -S magnet is not included, so order it separately if you need CMSE or DMSE sensors.
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 0.2 – 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 Single-acting: do not force the rod against the spring.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE100X10 FAQ
The ATE100X10 provides a net pull force of 3483.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 4991.6 N at 0.7 MPa, with the spring force already subtracted. The minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa, and the proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi). The port size is 1/4" and the rod diameter is 20 mm.
The ATE100X10 uses an ISO 21287 compact body that is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, saving significant space in tight jigs or gantries. It has a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb energy, and the optional -S magnet is not fitted, so you must order it separately to use CMSE or DMSE sensors.
