Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE32X15B
The AirTAC Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE32X15B is a genuine single acting, pull (spring return) ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 15mm 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 ATE32X15B
This AirTAC ATE32X15B 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 and 434.2 N at 0.7 MPa. Its ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, making it ideal for tight spaces where a full-length unit won't fit.
The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod resist wear in continuous cycling. A fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and the minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa. For a safe working load, plan for about 178 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 18 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

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 ATE32X15B Is Used
Jig Clamping
Use in a CNC fixture to pull a clamp arm down onto a workpiece, with the spring extending to release the part when air is removed.
Carton Tucking
Retract a tucking blade to fold a carton flap on a packaging line, where the spring return resets the blade for the next cycle.
Valve Actuation
Pull a small spool valve or damper linkage in a pneumatic control panel, benefiting from the compact body and 296 N pull force.
Is the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE32X15B the Right Cylinder?
For lighter pull tasks, the ATE25X15 with 170.9 N at 0.5 MPa suits smaller fixtures, while the ATE40X15 offers 500.3 N for heavier pulls. This 32 mm bore with 15 mm stroke fits applications needing a short, compact pull action. The male rod thread (B code) simplifies mounting, and the optional -S magnet is not fitted here, so no sensor can be used without ordering that code.
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 ATE32X15B FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the net pull is 296 N, and at 0.7 MPa it is 434.2 N, both after accounting for the return spring. The operating pressure range is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight jigs and gantries. It uses a fixed TPU bumper at both ends for impact absorption, and the optional -S magnet is required for CMSE or DMSE sensors, which is not included in this model.
