Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE100X15S
The AirTAC Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE100X15S 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 ATE100X15S
This AirTAC ATE100X15S is a single acting pull cylinder with a spring-extend rod, built to ISO 21287 compact standards. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 3483.6 N of pull force, net of the return spring, and at 0.7 MPa that rises to 4991.6 N, making it a strong choice for retracting heavy loads in tight spaces.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into machine guards and gantries where a full-length unit will not. The optional -S magnet is fitted here, enabling CMSE or DMSE switches for position sensing, and the fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke energy. For a safe working load, plan around 2090 N (about 213 kg) at 0.5 MPa, which gives a 2:1 margin for real applications.

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 ATE100X15S Is Used
Heavy Clamp Retract
In a CNC machining center, this cylinder retracts a heavy swing clamp after a part is secured, using the 3483.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa to overcome the clamp's return spring and friction.
Conveyor Stop Gate
On a packaging line, the ATE100X15S pulls a stop gate down to allow a pallet to pass, with the spring extending it to block the next item. The compact body fits under the conveyor frame.
Press Die Lifter
In a stamping press, this cylinder retracts a die lifter pin after the die is in place, providing 4991.6 N at 0.7 MPa to pull the pin clear against the die's weight and spring force.
Is the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE100X15S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing, compare this 100 mm bore with the 80 mm bore, which pulls 2159.1 N at 0.5 MPa, to see if the extra force is needed. The ATE100X15S operates from 0.2 MPa minimum pressure up to 1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), with a speed range of 50-500 mm/s. Remember, the spring extends the rod at rest, so it does not hold a mid-stroke position; on air loss it returns to the extended home position. Mounting options include FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, and FTC brackets, all compatible with the ISO 21287 face.
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 ATE100X15S FAQ
The ATE100X15S delivers 3483.6 N of pull force 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 maximum is 1.0 MPa (28-145 psi). The proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The ATE100X15S has a hard-anodized aluminium body that is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, saving mounting length in tight jigs and guards. It also includes a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb impact, and the optional -S magnet allows CMSE or DMSE switches for position sensing.
