The AirTAC Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE32X10S 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 ATE32X10S is a single acting pull cylinder with spring return, so the spring extends the rod and air retracts it, delivering a net pull of 296 N at 0.5 MPa. The ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, fitting into tight machine guards and gantries where space is limited.
With the optional -S magnet fitted, this model accepts CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches for position sensing. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod resist wear, while the fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact. For a safe vertical lift, plan for about 18 kg at 0.5 MPa, using a 2:1 margin on the 296 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.
| 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.
Retract a locating pin in a CNC fixture with 296 N pull at 0.5 MPa, holding parts securely during drilling or milling cycles.
Pull back a lightweight safety guard on a packaging line, using the spring to extend it back into place when air is removed.
Retract a sensor or probe on a gantry system, with the compact body fitting tight spaces and the -S magnet providing position feedback.
Choose this 32 mm bore for light pull applications needing up to 296 N at 0.5 MPa, such as clamping or retracting a small guard. If you need less force, the 25 mm bore pulls 170.9 N at 0.5 MPa; for more, the 40 mm bore pulls 500.3 N. The 10 mm stroke suits short movements, and the spring returns the rod to extended on air loss, but it does not hold a mid-stroke position. Mounting options include FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, and FTC brackets, with the -S magnet enabling CMSE/DMSE sensors.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the net pull is 296 N; 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 proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, making it ideal for tight jigs and guards. The fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and the optional -S magnet allows CMSE or DMSE switches for position sensing.
