Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE20X10S
The AirTAC Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE20X10S is a genuine single acting, pull (spring return) ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm 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 ATE20X10S
This AirTAC ATE20X10S is a single acting pull, spring-return compact cylinder built to the ISO 21287 short-body standard. Its spring extends the 10 mm rod at rest, while air retracts it, delivering a net pull of 88.1 N at 0.5 MPa. The hard-anodized aluminium body with a hard-chrome S45C steel rod is built for repeated cycling in tight automation frames.
Because the body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it fits into guard doors and indexing fixtures where full-length units cannot. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches can be mounted for position sensing. At 0.5 MPa, a practical vertical lift is about 5.4 kg when you apply a 2:1 safety margin to the 88.1 N rating.

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 ATE20X10S Is Used
Small Part Ejector
Use the 88.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa to retract a knockout pin that clears stamped parts from a die after each press cycle, with the spring extending the pin for the next blank.
Jig Clamp Release
Mount this cylinder on a drill jig to pull a locating pin out of a bushing for part removal. The spring re-engages the pin automatically when air is vented, keeping the fixture ready.
Gate Divert Paddle
Retract a small paddle to route lightweight cartons down a secondary conveyor lane. The 10 mm stroke and compact body fit between existing rollers without extensive frame modification.
Is the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE20X10S the Right Cylinder?
For a lighter pull, the 16 mm bore ATE16X25 offers 53.3 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 25 mm bore ATE25X25 gives 170.9 N at the same pressure. This 20 mm bore unit suits small grippers or light clamp retract duties where the spring-extend home position is preferred. The spring returns the rod to its extended position on air loss, but it does not hold a mid-stroke load. Mounting options include FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, and FTC brackets, all matching the ISO 21287 face.
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 ATE20X10S FAQ
The ATE20X10S delivers a net pull of 88.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 135.2 N at 0.7 MPa, with these values already accounting for the return spring. The minimum working pressure to overcome the spring is 0.2 MPa, and the maximum is 1.0 MPa (28-145 psi). Proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The ISO 21287 body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, easing installation in confined spaces. This model includes the optional -S magnet, so you can attach CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches for position feedback. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and the M5x0.8 port accepts standard fittings.
