Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE100X15SB
The AirTAC Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE100X15SB 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 ATE100X15SB
A single acting pull cylinder with spring return, the ATE100X15SB keeps the rod normally extended and uses air to retract it. At the full 100 mm bore it delivers a net pull of 3483.6 N at 0.5 MPa (4991.6 N at 0.7 MPa, spring already deducted), and it needs only 0.2 MPa (28-145 psi operating band) to overcome the spring. The male rod thread (B code) carries a 20 mm rod, and the 1/4" port matches this bore size.
The ISO 21287 compact body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into heavy presses and clamping gantries where a full-length body will not fit. As a working rule, budget roughly 2090 N (about 213 kg of pull) for real work at 0.5 MPa, which corresponds to lifting about 177 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke shock, and the hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated rod stands up to continuous cycling.

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 ATE100X15SB Is Used
Press release on a stamping die
Air retracts the hold-down so the spring keeps the die open whenever air pressure drops, with 3483.6 N of pull available at 0.5 MPa.
Pallet gate lifting on a packaging line
The spring-extended rod raises a 15 mm gate stroke, and about 177 kg can be lifted vertically with a 2:1 margin.
Fail-safe clamp verification in a welding fixture
With the -S magnet fitted, a DMSE switch confirms the normally extended position after every retract cycle.
Is the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE100X15SB the Right Cylinder?
Size down to the ATE63X15SB if your load needs only 1320 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, or stay at this 100 mm bore when you need 3483.6 N net. If a powered return matters more than fail-safe extension, step to the double acting ACE; for a normally retracted fail position, the ASE push type is the opposite logic. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be mounted for end-of-stroke signalling, and FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot or FTC brackets bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face. Note that on air loss the spring returns the rod to its extended home position and no mid-stroke position is held.
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 ATE100X15SB FAQ
Net of the return spring, pull is 3483.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 4991.6 N at 0.7 MPa. Keep real work near 2090 N (about 213 kg of pull) at 0.5 MPa, which covers lifting roughly 177 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa, speed range is 50-500 mm/s, and the 1/4" port suits this 100 mm bore.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy without any adjustment. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped to the body for position signalling.
