About the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE100X10S
This ATE100X10S is a single acting pull, spring-return compact cylinder from AirTAC, built to ISO 21287. 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, with the spring force already subtracted. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, making it ideal for tight spaces in automation cells where a full-length cylinder would not fit.
The optional -S magnet is fitted on this model, enabling CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches for position sensing. For a real-world buyer insight, at 0.5 MPa this cylinder can safely lift about 213 kg vertically when using a 2:1 margin, so you can match it to a heavy part or fixture with confidence. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod ensure durability in demanding cycles.

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 ATE100X10S Is Used
Heavy Clamp Retraction
In a stamping press, this cylinder retracts a heavy clamp arm that holds a 200 kg die block. The 3483.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa easily overcomes the clamp's friction, and the short body fits between the press frame and the die.
Conveyor Gate Pull
On a warehouse conveyor sorting line, this ATE100X10S pulls a divert gate open to route parcels. The 10 mm stroke is enough to clear the product path, and the spring return closes the gate when air is off, keeping the line safe.
Test Rig Tensioner
In a materials testing rig, this cylinder applies a controlled pull to a specimen. The 4991.6 N pull at 0.7 MPa provides high force for tensile tests, and the fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact without shock.
Is the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE100X10S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing, compare this 100 mm bore unit to the 80 mm bore ATE80X25S, which pulls 2159.1 N at 0.5 MPa. The 100 mm bore gives you about 61% more force, so choose it when you need to retract heavy loads or overcome high friction. Remember this is a single-acting pull cylinder: the spring extends the rod at rest, and air retracts it, so it does not hold a mid-stroke position on air loss. The 10 mm stroke is short, but for compact pull applications it fits perfectly. Mounting options include FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, and FTC brackets, all compatible with the ISO 21287 face. Since the -S magnet is fitted, you can add CMSE or DMSE sensors for position feedback.
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 ATE100X10S FAQ
The ATE100X10S delivers a net pull 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). Operating pressure range is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi).
This cylinder's short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight jigs, guards, and gantries. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and since this model has the optional -S magnet fitted, you can mount CMSE or DMSE sensors for position detection.
