Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE16X10B
The AirTAC Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE16X10B is a genuine single acting, pull (spring return) ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 10mm stroke, M5×0.8 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 ATE16X10B
This AirTAC ATE16X10B is a single acting pull cylinder with a spring return, meaning the spring extends the rod and air retracts it. With a 16 mm bore, it delivers a net pull of 53.3 N at 0.5 MPa and 83.5 N at 0.7 MPa, already accounting for the spring force.
The ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, saving space in tight fixtures. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod resist wear, while the fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact. This model has a male rod thread (B code) and no magnet, so sensors are not an option unless you order the -S variant.

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 (Ø16mm)
| Pressure | Pull force (spring return) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 53.3 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 83.5 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 ATE16X10B Is Used
Tight Jig Clamping
Use in a small assembly jig to pull a locating pin back during part loading, with the spring extending the pin to hold the part. The 53.3 N pull at 0.5 MPa handles light fixtures, and the compact body fits under a worktable.
Small Gate Latch
In a packaging line, this cylinder retracts a latch to release a carton, then the spring returns it to block the next carton. The 10 mm stroke is enough for a simple toggle, and the fixed TPU bumper prevents noise at high cycle rates.
High-Speed Sorting
On a small parts feeder, use the ATE16X10B to pull a diverter flap that routes components. Operating at 50-500 mm/s, the spring extends the flap to one path, and air pulls it to the other, with the 83.5 N at 0.7 MPa ensuring quick response.
Is the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE16X10B the Right Cylinder?
For a lighter pull, consider the ATE12X10 with 25.9 N at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the ATE20X25 for 88.1 N at 0.5 MPa if you need more force. This 16 mm bore with a 10 mm stroke suits short, compact applications where a spring-extend, air-retract action is required. The male rod thread simplifies mounting with clevis or rod knuckle attachments, but note that without the -S magnet, no CMSE or DMSE sensors can be fitted.
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 ATE16X10B FAQ
The ATE16X10B delivers a net pull of 53.3 N at 0.5 MPa and 83.5 N at 0.7 MPa, with these values already accounting for the return spring. The minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa, and the proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi). The operating pressure range is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), and the speed range is 50-500 mm/s.
Yes, it is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder, about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, saving mounting space. However, this model has no magnet because the -S code was not ordered, so CMSE or DMSE sensors cannot be mounted. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and the body is hard-anodized aluminium with a hard-chrome plated S45C rod.
