The AirTAC Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE25X10 is a genuine single acting, pull (spring return) ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm 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.
This AirTAC ATE25X10 is a single acting pull cylinder with a spring return, meaning the spring extends the rod and air retracts it. At 0.5 MPa it delivers a net pull of 170.9 N, enough for light clamping or indexing tasks in tight spaces.
Its ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into guard doors and small jigs where a full-length unit won't. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod resist wear, and the fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact. For a safe working load, plan for about 10 kg of real work at 0.5 MPa, not the full 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.
| Pressure | Pull force (spring return) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 170.9 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 253.3 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).
| ATE | ISO 21287 compact cylinder (single-acting pull, spring-return). |
|---|---|
| 25 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×10 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSE / DMSE sensors (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
ACE-family variants: ACE (double acting), ASE / ATE (single acting push / pull), ACED (double rod), ACEJ (adjustable stroke), TACE / TACED (non-rotating twin-guide yoke). Mounting accessories: FA / FB flange, LB foot, CA / CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, FTC; plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G.
Use the 170.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa to retract a small clamp pin in a drilling jig, holding a part during machining with a compact footprint.
In a conveyor sorting line, this cylinder pulls a lightweight diverter gate open, with the spring returning it to block the path when air is off.
Mount on a machine guard to retract a latch bolt, letting the operator open the door; the spring automatically extends the bolt to secure it when air is removed.
For a lighter pull, the ATE16X25 gives 53.3 N at 0.5 MPa, while the ATE32X25 offers 296.0 N if you need more force. This 25 mm bore with a 10 mm stroke suits short, repetitive pulls where space is limited. 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 bolting to the ISO 21287 face. The optional -S magnet is not fitted here, so no CMSE or DMSE sensor can be used without ordering that code.
Quick checklist
The ATE25X10 delivers a net pull of 170.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 253.3 N at 0.7 MPa, with these figures already accounting for the return spring. Minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa, and proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi). The port is M5x0.8, and the rod has a female M6x1.0 thread.
No, the magnet is optional. This ATE25X10 without the -S code has no magnet, so you cannot mount a CMSE or DMSE sensor. If you need position sensing, order the ATE25X10S variant. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends handles end-of-stroke impact, and the compact ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
