The AirTAC Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE32X10SB 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 ATE32X10SB is a single acting pull, spring-return compact cylinder that extends its rod via a spring and retracts it with air, delivering a net pull of 296 N at 0.5 MPa. The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, making it ideal for tight machine guards and gantries.
With the optional -S magnet fitted, this model works with CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches for reliable position sensing. For real-world sizing, plan for about 178 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which roughly lifts 18 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin, so you can match it to actual part weights confidently.

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.
In a CNC fixture, this cylinder pulls a locating pin back from a workpiece after machining, using its 296 N pull at 0.5 MPa to clear the part within a 10 mm stroke.
On a small parts conveyor, it retracts a diverting gate to allow a product to pass, with the spring extending the gate back to block the next item, all within a compact 10 mm travel.
In a packaging line, this cylinder pulls a safety interlock latch to unlock a guard door, and the spring returns it to the locked position when air is removed, ensuring fail-safe operation.
Choose this ATE32X10SB when you need a compact pull action with a short 10 mm stroke and a male rod thread. At 0.5 MPa it pulls 296 N, while a smaller bore 25 unit offers 170.9 N and a larger bore 40 provides 500.3 N, so step up or down based on your force needs. The spring extends the rod at rest and on air loss, but it does not hold a mid-stroke position, so use it for simple retract tasks, not load holding. Mounting options include FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, and FTC brackets, all compatible with the ISO 21287 face.
Quick checklist
This single acting pull cylinder delivers a net pull of 296 N at 0.5 MPa and 434.2 N at 0.7 MPa, with the spring force already subtracted. It operates from 0.2 MPa minimum pressure up to 1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). The 32 mm bore has a 12 mm rod and a 1/8" port.
The ISO 21287 short body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits in tight spaces. This model includes the optional -S magnet, enabling CMSE or DMSE switches for position sensing. The fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and mounting options like FA/FB flange or LB foot bolt directly to the standard face.
