Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE100X10B
The AirTAC Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE100X10B 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 ATE100X10B
This is a single acting pull cylinder from AirTAC's ISO 21287 compact line, with the spring extending the rod and air retracting it. At 0.5 MPa it delivers a net pull of 3483.6 N, and at 0.7 MPa that rises to 4991.6 N, figures that already account for the return spring. The 100 mm bore unit carries a 20 mm hard-chrome rod and uses a 1/4" port, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end to absorb kinetic energy.
The short body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters when you are packing a high-force actuator into a tight gantry or a machine guard. With a 10 mm stroke, this unit is built for short, forceful pulls rather than long travel. As a practical guide, plan for about 2090 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting roughly 213 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

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 ATE100X10B Is Used
Die Casting Ejector Pull
Use the 3483.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa to retract ejector pins in a die casting machine, where the short 10 mm stroke fits the tight space behind the die platen.
Pallet Clamp Release
Mount on a palletizing cell to pull a clamp arm away from a loaded pallet; the spring extend ensures the clamp stays open if air pressure drops.
Test Rig Tensioner
In a materials test fixture, this cylinder applies a controlled 3483.6 N pull to a specimen at 0.5 MPa, with the fixed TPU bumper preventing end-of-stroke shock.
Is the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE100X10B the Right Cylinder?
For a smaller footprint with less force, the ATE80X25 offers 2159.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa, while this ATE100X10B provides 3483.6 N at the same pressure. Since this is a single acting pull cylinder, the spring returns the rod to its extended home position on air loss; it will not hold a mid-stroke position. The male rod thread (B code) simplifies attachment to a clevis or rod end, and the compact ISO 21277 body accepts FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, and FTC brackets.
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 ATE100X10B FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the net pull is 3483.6 N, and at 0.7 MPa it is 4991.6 N, both figures already net of the return spring. Operating pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), temperature range is -20 to +70 C, and speed is 50-500 mm/s.
The ATE100X10B body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder of the same bore, so it fits into tight jigs and gantries. The fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and the optional -S magnet (not fitted here) would allow CMSE or DMSE sensors.
