The AirTAC Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE32X10B 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.
This AirTAC ATE32X10B is a single acting pull cylinder, spring-extend type, built to ISO 21287 compact dimensions. With a 32 mm bore, it delivers a net pull of 296 N at 0.5 MPa, and 434.2 N at 0.7 MPa, after accounting for the return spring. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight machine guards and gantries where a full-length unit will not. As a practical guide, at 0.5 MPa this cylinder can safely handle about 18 kg of vertical load with a 2:1 margin, making it a solid choice for light lifting or clamping tasks.
The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome plated rod resist wear in continuous cycling. This model has a male rod thread (B code) and a 1/8" PT port, with a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb end-of-stroke impact. The optional -S magnet is not fitted here, so no CMSE or DMSE sensor can be mounted unless you order the -S version. Operating pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and it runs at speeds from 50 to 500 mm/s.

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 | 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).

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 ATE32X10B to pull a clamp arm down onto a workpiece in a drill jig. The 296 N pull at 0.5 MPa holds small parts securely, and the short 10 mm stroke is enough to engage and release the clamp quickly.
In a conveyor sorting system, this cylinder can retract a stop gate to divert lightweight packages. The spring extends the gate when air is off, keeping the default path open, and the compact body fits between existing rollers.
Mount the ATE32X10B on a machine guard to pull a locking pin out of a hole when air is applied. The 10 mm stroke matches typical pin travel, and the fixed TPU bumper prevents damage at the end of each cycle.
For a 32 mm bore, the ATE32X10B provides a compact pull force of 296 N at 0.5 MPa. If you need more pulling power, consider the ATE40X25, which offers 500.3 N at the same pressure, or step down to the ATE25X25 for 170.9 N when space is tighter. This model has a 10 mm stroke, which suits short indexing or clamping motions; 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 compatible with the ISO 21287 face. The male rod thread (B) simplifies attachment to clevises or rod ends, and the 1/8" port is standard for this bore.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the net pull force is 296 N, and at 0.7 MPa it is 434.2 N, both after accounting for the return spring. The minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa, and the maximum is 1.0 MPa (28-145 psi). The proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
No, this model does not have the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE sensors cannot be used. If you need position sensing, order the ATE32X10S version, which includes the magnet for sensor mounting. The body has magnet slots, but the magnet itself is only present with the -S code.
