Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE32X10
The AirTAC Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE32X10 is a genuine single acting, pull (spring return) ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 10mm stroke, 1/8" 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 ATE32X10
This ATE32X10 is a single acting pull cylinder from AirTAC's ISO 21287 compact line, meaning its spring extends the rod while air retracts it. With a 32 mm bore, it delivers a net pull of 296 N at 0.5 MPa, already accounting for the return spring force. The short body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length compared to an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, making it ideal for tight machine frames where space is at a premium.
The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome plated rod resist wear in continuous cycling. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs impact energy, and the minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa. For a safe working load, plan around 178 N (about 18 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin) rather than the full rating, giving you a practical figure for real applications.

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 (Ø32mm)
| Pressure | Pull force (spring return) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 296.0 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 434.2 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 ATE32X10 Is Used
Jig Clamping Retract
Use the 296 N pull at 0.5 MPa to retract a locating pin in a CNC fixture. The 10 mm stroke suits thin workpieces, and the compact body fits between vise jaws without protruding.
Label Applicator Return
In a carton labeling station, this cylinder pulls a vacuum cup back after the label is placed. The spring extends the cup forward, and air retracts it, cycling at speeds up to 500 mm/s.
Guard Door Latch
Mount this ATE32X10 on a machine guard to retract a locking bolt. The spring holds the bolt in the locked (extended) position when air is off, providing fail-safe engagement.
Is the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE32X10 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this ATE32X10, consider that the 25 mm bore version pulls 170.9 N at 0.5 MPa, while this 32 mm bore offers 296 N, and stepping up to a 40 mm bore gives 500.3 N. Choose based on the actual retraction force your fixture requires, remembering the spring extends the rod when air is off. The spring does not hold a mid-stroke position, so design your circuit to keep air applied whenever the rod must stay retracted. Mounting options include FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, and FTC brackets, all compatible with the ISO 21287 face pattern. This unit has no magnet, so order the -S version if you need to fit CMSE or DMSE sensors.
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 ATE32X10 FAQ
The ATE32X10 delivers a net pull of 296 N at 0.5 MPa and 434.2 N at 0.7 MPa, with these values already accounting for the return spring. The minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa, and the maximum is 1.0 MPa (28-145 psi). Proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The ATE32X10 uses a short-body ISO 21287 construction that saves about 50% of the mounting length compared to an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. This lets you fit it into tight spaces on gantries or inside machine frames. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE or DMSE sensor mounting.
