About the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE100X5S
This AirTAC ATE100X5S 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 force of 3483.6 N at 0.5 MPa, making it a powerhouse for retraction tasks in tight spaces.
The ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, fitting where full-length units cannot. The optional -S magnet is fitted on this model, enabling CMSE or DMSE switches for position sensing. For a real-world load, plan for roughly 213 kg of vertical lifting capacity at 0.5 MPa, using a 2:1 safety 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 ATE100X5S Is Used
Heavy Jig Retraction
Use in a stamping press to retract a heavy locating pin after the part is clamped, leveraging the 3483.6 N pull to clear the work area quickly.
Pallet Stop Release
Mount on a conveyor to pull a pallet stop down into the frame, allowing a loaded pallet to pass. The short stroke and high force handle the impact of a moving load.
Machine Guard Pull-Back
In a packaging line, retract a safety guard panel against a spring-loaded hinge. The compact body fits within the machine frame, and the pull action secures the guard in the open position.
Is the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE100X5S the Right Cylinder?
For a lighter retraction task, consider the ATE80X25S with 2159.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or step down to the ATE63X25S at 1320.0 N. This 100 mm bore model suits heavy retraction needs, but remember the spring extends the rod on air loss, so it does not hold a mid-stroke position. The 1/4" port and M12x1.75 female rod thread are standard for this bore size.
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 ATE100X5S FAQ
The ATE100X5S delivers a net pull force of 3483.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 4991.6 N at 0.7 MPa. These figures are net of the return spring. The minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa, and the proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The ATE100X5S uses an ISO 21287 compact body, which is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. This saves significant mounting space in tight machinery. The body is hard-anodized aluminium, and the fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke energy, ensuring reliable operation within the 50-500 mm/s speed range.
