Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE100X5
The AirTAC Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE100X5 is a genuine single acting, pull (spring return) ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 5mm 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 ATE100X5
This AirTAC ATE100X5 is a single acting pull cylinder with spring return, meaning the spring extends the rod and air retracts it. With a 100 mm bore, it delivers a net pull force of 3483.6 N at 0.5 MPa, making it a powerful choice for compact automation tasks.
Its ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, saving valuable mounting space in tight machine frames. At 0.5 MPa, the safe working load is roughly 2090 N, which translates to lifting about 213 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin, so you can match it to real part weights confidently.

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 ATE100X5 Is Used
Heavy-Duty Clamp Release
In a stamping press, use the ATE100X5 to retract a heavy clamp arm that must pull away with 3483.6 N at 0.5 MPa, ensuring quick part ejection without a bulky cylinder.
Pallet Stop Pull-Back
On a conveyor system, this cylinder can pull back a pallet stop mechanism, with its 5 mm stroke and high force clearing the path reliably even with a 213 kg load at 0.5 MPa.
Die-Casting Core Pull
In die-casting, the ATE100X5 retracts a core pin from a mold, using its 4991.6 N pull at 0.7 MPa to overcome resistance and its compact body to fit between platens.
Is the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE100X5 the Right Cylinder?
For a lighter pull application, consider the ATE80X25 with 2159.1 N at 0.5 MPa, while this ATE100X5 offers a higher force class for heavier pulls. Since it is single acting, the spring always returns the rod to the extended position on air loss, so it does not hold a mid-stroke load. Choose the optional -S code to add a magnet for CMSE or DMSE sensors, and select from FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, or FTC mounts to fit your fixture.
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 ATE100X5 FAQ
The ATE100X5 provides a net pull force 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 ISO 21287 body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits in tight spaces. It features a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb energy, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE or DMSE sensors for position detection.
