About the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE100X5SB
This AirTAC ATE100X5SB is a single acting, spring-return pull cylinder in the ISO 21287 compact format. With a 100 mm bore, it delivers a net pull of 3483.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 4991.6 N at 0.7 MPa, so the spring force is already accounted for in these figures. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, making it a strong fit for tight machine frames and gantries.
For real-world sizing, plan for about 2090 N of safe working load at 0.5 MPa, which is roughly 213 kgf, so it can lift a 100 kg part vertically with a comfortable 2:1 margin. The optional -S magnet is fitted here, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted for position sensing. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod resist wear in continuous cycling, and the fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact 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 ATE100X5SB Is Used
Heavy Clamp in a Jig
Use the 3483.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa to retract a heavy clamp arm in a CNC fixture, where the spring extends the clamp to release the part. The short ISO 21287 body fits under a workholding plate without protruding.
Vertical Lift Gate
Retract a 100 kg safety gate upward with the 213 kgf safe lifting capacity at 0.5 MPa, then let the spring lower it gently. The 5 mm stroke suits a small lift height in a packaging line guard.
Press Stroke Monitor
Mount this cylinder with the fitted -S magnet and a DMSE solid-state switch to confirm the retracted position of a small press ram. The 5 mm stroke gives a precise end-of-stroke signal for cycle counting.
Is the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE100X5SB the Right Cylinder?
Choose this ATE100X5SB when you need a compact, spring-extend pull cylinder with a short 5 mm stroke and a high force class. The 100 mm bore gives a net pull of 3483.6 N at 0.5 MPa, which suits heavy clamping or lifting tasks in a confined envelope. For lighter duty, a 63 mm bore version pulls 1320.0 N at 0.5 MPa, while an 80 mm bore pulls 2159.1 N, so you can step down if the load is smaller. The spring returns the rod to the extended position on air loss, but it does not hold a mid-stroke position, so use it for end-position work only. The male rod thread (B code) and 1/4" port are ready for standard fittings, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE or DMSE sensors for position feedback.
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 ATE100X5SB FAQ
The ATE100X5SB delivers a net pull 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). Operating pressure range is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), and speed is 50-500 mm/s.
The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits in tight jigs, guards, and gantries. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke energy without adjustment, and the optional -S magnet allows CMSE or DMSE switch mounting for position sensing.
