Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE100X20B
The AirTAC Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE100X20B is a genuine single acting, pull (spring return) ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 20mm 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 ATE100X20B
This AirTAC ATE100X20B is a single acting pull cylinder with spring return, meaning the spring extends the rod and air retracts it, delivering a net pull of 3483.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 4991.6 N at 0.7 MPa. Its ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, saving mounting length in tight automation cells.
For a safe working load, plan for about 2090 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting roughly 213 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod resist wear, while the fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impacts without adjustment.

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 ATE100X20B Is Used
Heavy Clamp Retraction
Use in a stamping press die to retract a heavy locating pin after stamping, leveraging the 3483.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa to overcome spring resistance and pull the pin clear.
Pallet Stop Pull-Back
Mount on a conveyor to pull a pallet stop down after release, with the spring extending the stop to block pallets and air retracting it for flow, handling loads up to 213 kg safely.
Test Rig Tensioner
In a materials test rig, pull a specimen holder back to apply tension, using the 4991.6 N pull at 0.7 MPa for high-force tests, while the compact body fits within guard enclosures.
Is the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE100X20B the Right Cylinder?
Choose this ATE100X20B for pull applications needing high force in a short stroke, such as clamping or retracting heavy fixtures. If you need less force, the ATE63X25 offers a 1320.0 N pull at 0.5 MPa, while the ATE80X20 provides 2159.1 N, making this 100 mm bore the strongest in the single-acting pull family. The male rod thread (B) simplifies attachment, and the 1/4" port suits standard shop air. Note that without the -S option, there is no magnet, so CMSE or DMSE sensors cannot be mounted.
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 ATE100X20B FAQ
The ATE100X20B delivers a net pull of 3483.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 4991.6 N at 0.7 MPa, with these values already accounting for the return spring. The minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa, and the proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
No, this ATE100X20B has no magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches cannot be mounted. You must order the -S code to get the optional magnet for sensor feedback. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends handles end-of-stroke deceleration without adjustment.
