About the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE100X20
This AirTAC ATE100X20 is a single acting pull cylinder with a spring return, meaning the spring extends the rod and air retracts it. With a 100 mm bore, it delivers a net pull of 3483.6 N at 0.5 MPa, so it is a strong choice for retracting heavy loads in a compact envelope.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, fitting into tight machine frames. At 0.5 MPa, a safe working load is about 2090 N, which equals lifting roughly 213 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin, so you can match it to real part weights. The optional -S magnet enables CMSE or DMSE sensors, but this unit has no magnet fitted.

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 ATE100X20 Is Used
Heavy Clamp Retraction
Use the 3483.6 N pull to retract a large clamping arm on a CNC fixture, freeing a heavy part for unloading after machining.
Pallet Stop Pull-Back
In a conveyor system, this cylinder pulls a pallet stop down against a spring, clearing the path for pallets up to 200 kg at 0.5 MPa.
Press Guard Lift
Retract a safety guard upward on a stamping press, using the spring to extend it back into place when air is removed.
Is the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE100X20 the Right Cylinder?
For a smaller option, the ATE80X25 offers a 2159.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa, while this 100 mm bore gives you 3483.6 N for heavier retraction tasks. Since the spring extends the rod at rest, it does not hold a mid-stroke position, so plan for full extension on air loss. Mounting options include FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, and FTC brackets, all fitting 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 ATE100X20 FAQ
The ATE100X20 delivers a net pull of 3483.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 4991.6 N at 0.7 MPa, both after accounting for the return spring. The minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa, and the proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits in tight spaces. It has a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb impact, and the optional -S magnet is required for CMSE or DMSE sensors, which is not fitted on this model.
