Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE20X10SB
The AirTAC Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE20X10SB 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 ATE20X10SB
This AirTAC ATE20X10SB is a single acting pull cylinder with a spring-return mechanism, meaning the spring extends the rod and air retracts it. With a 20 mm bore, it delivers a net pull force of 88.1 N at 0.5 MPa, making it suitable for light retraction tasks in compact spaces.
The ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, fitting into tight jigs and guards. The optional -S magnet is included here, enabling CMSE or DMSE switches for position sensing. For a safe working load, plan for about 53 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, or roughly 5.4 kg of vertical lift 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 ATE20X10SB Is Used
Jig Clamping Retract
In a CNC fixture, this cylinder pulls a locating pin back from a workpiece, with the spring extending it to engage. The 88.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa handles light pins, and the compact body fits under the fixture table.
Small Part Ejector
On a packaging line, this cylinder retracts a small pusher arm to clear a jammed cap. The 10 mm stroke is enough to move the part aside, and the spring return resets the arm without air, saving energy.
Gate Lock Release
In a storage rack, this cylinder pulls a latch to release a bin door. The spring extends the latch to keep the door closed, and air retracts it for access. The optional magnet signals the latch position to a PLC.
Is the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE20X10SB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing, compare this 20 mm bore with the smaller 16 mm bore (53.3 N pull) or the larger 25 mm bore (170.9 N pull) at 0.5 MPa. The 10 mm stroke is short, so it suits applications needing limited travel. On air loss, the spring returns the rod to its extended position; it does not hold a mid-stroke load. Choose the male rod thread (B) for direct coupling, and the M5x0.8 port is standard for this bore.
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 ATE20X10SB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the net pull force is 88.1 N, and at 0.7 MPa it is 135.2 N, both 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 body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into narrow machine frames or behind panels. It uses fixed TPU bumpers at both ends to absorb impact, and the optional -S magnet allows CMSE or DMSE switches for sensing.
