About the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE16X10S
This AirTAC ATE16X10S is a single acting pull cylinder with spring return, meaning the spring extends the rod and air retracts it. With a 16 mm bore, it delivers 53.3 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, net of the return spring, and 83.5 N at 0.7 MPa.
The ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, saving space in tight fixtures. It includes the optional -S magnet for CMSE or DMSE sensors, and its hard-anodized aluminium body with S45C hard-chrome rod ensures durability. For a 2:1 safety margin, plan to lift about 2.7 kg vertically with this unit at 0.5 MPa.

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 ATE16X10S Is Used
Small Part Ejection
Use in a parts feeder to pull back a stop pin, releasing small components onto a conveyor in automated assembly lines.
Jig Clamping
Retract a locating pin in a drill jig for quick workpiece removal and repositioning in a manual workbench setup.
Lab Valve Actuation
Pull a small pneumatic valve or latch in a test rig where a compact, spring-return actuator is essential for safety.
Is the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE16X10S the Right Cylinder?
For lighter duty, the ATE12X10 offers 25.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the ATE20X25 provides 88.1 N. This 16 mm bore with 10 mm stroke suits compact spaces needing a short pull action. The spring returns the rod to extended on air loss, but it does not hold a mid-stroke position. Mounting options include FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, and SDB pivot brackets.
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 ATE16X10S FAQ
The ATE16X10S delivers a pull force of 53.3 N at 0.5 MPa and 83.5 N at 0.7 MPa, both net of the return spring. The minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa, and the proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length compared to an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, making it ideal for tight spaces. It has a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb end-of-stroke energy, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE or DMSE sensor mounting.
