About the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE100X5B
This AirTAC ATE100X5B is a single acting pull cylinder, spring-extend type, with a 100 mm bore and a 5 mm stroke. It delivers a net pull force of 3483.6 N at 0.5 MPa, so it can retract heavy tooling or clamps with authority in a compact envelope.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, making it ideal for tight machine frames. With a male rod thread (B code) and a 1/4" port, it mounts directly to standard fixtures. For a real-world load, plan for about 213 kg of vertical lift at 0.5 MPa (3483.6 N divided by 9.81, then halved for a 2:1 safety margin). The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and the hard-anodized aluminium body with S45C hard-chrome rod resists wear.

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 ATE100X5B Is Used
Heavy Clamp Retract
Use the ATE100X5B to retract a heavy swing clamp on a large machining fixture, pulling the clamp arm away from the workpiece with 3483.6 N at 0.5 MPa. The short 5 mm stroke is perfect for a quick release action in a confined space.
Pallet Stop Pull-Down
In a conveyor system, this cylinder can retract a pallet stop pin downward out of the path, handling the high force needed to overcome friction and inertia. The compact body fits under the conveyor frame, and the male rod thread connects directly to the linkage.
Die Cushion Retract
On a stamping press, retract a heavy die cushion or stripper plate with this cylinder's strong pull. The fixed TPU bumper protects the cylinder at the end of the retract stroke, and the hard-anodized body withstands the harsh factory environment.
Is the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE100X5B the Right Cylinder?
Choose this ATE100X5B when you need a powerful retract action in a very short stroke, such as pulling a heavy guard or clamping a large part. For lighter pulls, consider the ATE63X25 with 1320.0 N at 0.5 MPa, or step up to a larger bore if you need more force. Remember, this is single acting: the spring extends the rod at rest, and air retracts it; it does not hold a mid-stroke position on air loss. The male rod thread simplifies direct coupling, and since there is no -S code, no magnet is fitted, so sensors cannot be mounted without ordering the optional -S version.
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 ATE100X5B FAQ
The ATE100X5B is a single acting pull cylinder with a 100 mm bore and 5 mm stroke. It provides a net pull force of 3483.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 4991.6 N at 0.7 MPa, with the spring force already subtracted. The minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa, and the proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
Yes, it is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder, so its body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, saving space in tight installations. However, this model has no magnet (no -S code), so it cannot be used with CMSE or DMSE sensors. To add sensor capability, you must order the ATE100X5SB version with the optional magnet.
