Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE100X10SB
The AirTAC Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE100X10SB 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 ATE100X10SB
This ATE100X10SB is a single acting pull cylinder, meaning its spring extends the rod and air retracts it, with forces already net of the spring. With a 100 mm bore, it delivers a substantial 3483.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, making it a powerhouse for retraction tasks in tight spaces.
The ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into confined machine frames where a full-length unit won't. The optional -S magnet is fitted here, allowing CMSE or DMSE switches to monitor position, and with a 10 mm stroke, it's ideal for short, high-force clamping or indexing actions. For a safe working load, plan for about 213 kg of real work at 0.5 MPa, not the full rating.

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 ATE100X10SB Is Used
Clamping in Machining Centers
Use the ATE100X10SB to retract a clamp arm in a CNC machining center, providing a strong 3483.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa to secure a workpiece during a 10 mm pull cycle.
Sorting Gate Actuator
In a warehouse conveyor sorting system, this cylinder's spring-extend action can push a diverter gate into place, while the air retract pulls it back with high force to redirect parcels quickly.
Press Tray Puller
For a small press, the ATE100X10SB can pull a tray or die out after a stamping operation, using its 4991.6 N pull at 0.7 MPa to overcome friction and move the heavy tooling.
Is the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE100X10SB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing, consider that this 100 mm bore offers a 3483.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, but if your force needs are lower, a 63 mm bore provides 1320.0 N at the same pressure, saving space and cost. The ATE is single acting pull with spring return, so it does not hold a mid-stroke position on air loss; the spring returns the rod to its extended home. Mounting options like FA/FB flanges, LB foot, or CA/CB clevis bolt directly to the ISO 21287 face, and the male rod thread (B code) simplifies attachment to your tooling.
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 ATE100X10SB FAQ
The ATE100X10SB provides a pull force of 3483.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 4991.6 N at 0.7 MPa, both net of the return spring. The minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa, and the proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The ATE100X10SB has a hard-anodized aluminium body that is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, saving mounting space. It also has a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb end-of-stroke energy, and the optional -S magnet allows for position sensing with CMSE or DMSE switches.
