Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE100X15
The AirTAC Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE100X15 is a genuine single acting, pull (spring return) ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 15mm 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 ATE100X15
This AirTAC ATE100X15 is a single acting pull cylinder with spring return, meaning the spring extends the rod and air retracts 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, so it suits heavy retraction tasks in compact spaces.
Its ISO 21287 short body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, letting it fit into tight machine frames where a full-length unit will not. With a 1/4" port and a fixed TPU bumper at both ends, it handles speeds from 50 to 500 mm/s. For a safe working load, plan on about 2090 N at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 213 kg vertically with a 2:1 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 ATE100X15 Is Used
Heavy Jig Retraction
In a CNC machining fixture, this cylinder pulls a 200 kg clamping arm back after each cycle. The 3483.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa clears the part quickly, and the short body fits between the spindle and the fixture wall.
Pallet Stop Release
On a conveyor line, this unit retracts a heavy pallet stop to let a loaded pallet pass. The spring extends the stop back into place automatically, and the 15 mm stroke is enough to clear the pallet edge without taking up extra space.
Press Guard Lift
In a stamping press, this cylinder pulls a safety guard down over the die area before each stroke. The 4991.6 N pull at 0.7 MPa ensures the guard seats firmly, and the compact body mounts directly to the press frame without interfering with the tooling.
Is the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE100X15 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 100 mm bore model when you need a strong pull force in a short envelope. It produces 3483.6 N at 0.5 MPa, compared to 2159.1 N for the 80 mm bore, so it is the better pick for heavier retraction loads. The 15 mm stroke is well within the 300 mm maximum standard stroke, and the spring returns the rod to its extended home 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. This model has no magnet, so order the -S code if you need to fit 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 ATE100X15 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the net pull is 3483.6 N, and at 0.7 MPa it is 4991.6 N, both after accounting for the return spring. The operating pressure range is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). The port is 1/4" and the rod is 20 mm with a female M12x1.75 thread.
Yes, it is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body, about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It has a fixed TPU bumper at both ends, not an adjustable cushion. This model has no magnet, so CMSE or DMSE sensors cannot be fitted unless you order the -S version, which adds the optional magnet.
