Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE100X25
The AirTAC Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE100X25 is a genuine single acting, pull (spring return) ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 25mm 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 ATE100X25
This AirTAC ATE100X25 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 3483.6 N of pull force, net of the spring, making it 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, so it fits tight machine frames where a full-length cylinder will not. The optional -S magnet enables CMSE or DMSE sensors for position feedback, and the fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact. For a safe working load, plan for about 2090 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 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 ATE100X25 Is Used
Press Retraction
Use the ATE100X25 to retract a heavy press platen or die after a stamping cycle. The 3483.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa handles the return stroke, while the compact body fits under the press frame.
Conveyor Stop Gate
In a warehouse sorting line, this cylinder pulls a stop gate down to release a pallet. The 25 mm stroke is enough to clear the product path, and the spring extends the gate when air is off, defaulting to a safe stop.
Clamp Unloading
On a machining fixture, the ATE100X25 pulls a clamp away from a workpiece after machining. The 213 kg vertical lift equivalent at 0.5 MPa gives ample margin for releasing heavy parts, and the TPU bumper prevents shock at the end of retract.
Is the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE100X25 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 100 mm bore when you need a strong pull in a short stroke. A smaller bore like 80 mm gives 2159.1 N at 0.5 MPa, while this 100 mm bore provides 3483.6 N, so step up when your retraction force demand exceeds 2.2 kN. The 25 mm stroke is standard, but note that on air loss the spring returns the rod to its extended home position; it does not hold a mid-stroke load. Mounting options include FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, and FTC brackets, all fitting the ISO 21287 face. The rod end is female M12x1.75, and the port is 1/4" PT.
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 ATE100X25 FAQ
The ATE100X25 delivers 3483.6 N of pull 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 proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi). The port is 1/4" PT, and the rod is 20 mm with a female M12x1.75 thread.
Yes, it is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder, so its body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder of the same bore. This makes it ideal for tight jigs, guards, and gantries. It has a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb impact, and the optional -S magnet can be ordered for CMSE or DMSE sensors.
