About the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE20X10B
This AirTAC ATE20X10B is a single acting pull cylinder with spring return, meaning the spring extends the rod and air retracts it. With a 20 mm bore, it delivers a net pull of 88.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 135.2 N at 0.7 MPa, making it a compact force source for light automation tasks.
Its ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, fitting into tight jigs and guards. The optional -S magnet is not fitted here, so no sensor can be mounted; order the -S code for CMSE or DMSE switches. For a safe working load, plan for about 53 N (0.6 x 88.1 N) of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 5.4 kg vertically with a 2:1 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 (Ø20mm)
| Pressure | Pull force (spring return) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 88.1 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 135.2 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 ATE20X10B Is Used
Jig Clamping
Use in a small jig to pull a clamp arm back after a manual loading step, with the spring extending the arm to a safe position when air is off.
Label Tensioner
In a packaging line, this cylinder retracts a tension roller to release a label web, then the spring returns it for the next cycle, handling light forces up to 88.1 N.
Guard Latch
Mount on a machine guard to pull a latch pin out of a hole for opening, with the spring pushing the pin back in to secure the guard when air is removed.
Is the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE20X10B the Right Cylinder?
Choose this ATE20X10B for short-stroke pull applications up to 10 mm. If you need more force, consider the ATE25X25 with 170.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or step down to the ATE16X25 at 53.3 N. Remember, this is single acting pull - it does not hold a mid-stroke position on air loss; the spring returns the rod to its extended home. Mounting options include FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, and FTC brackets, plus I/Y rod knuckles.
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 ATE20X10B FAQ
The ATE20X10B delivers a net pull of 88.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 135.2 N at 0.7 MPa, with forces already accounting for the return spring. Minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa, and proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits in tight spaces. It has a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb end-of-stroke energy, and mounting options include FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, and FTC brackets.
