Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE32X15SB
The AirTAC Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE32X15SB 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 ATE32X15SB
This AirTAC ATE32X15SB is a single acting pull cylinder, spring-return type where the spring extends the rod and air retracts it. With a 32 mm bore it delivers 296 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, net of the return spring, making it a compact force source for light automation tasks.
The ISO 21287 short body takes up about 50% less mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight machine frames and guard enclosures. The optional -S magnet is fitted on this model, allowing CMSE or DMSE switches to be mounted for position sensing. For a real-world load estimate, plan for roughly 18 kg of safe vertical work at 0.5 MPa, which accounts for a typical safety 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 ATE32X15SB Is Used
Jig Clamping
Use this 32 mm bore pull cylinder to retract a locating pin or clamp in a CNC fixture, where the spring-extend action safely returns the pin to the home position on air loss.
Label Applicator
In a packaging line, this cylinder can pull a label applicator head back after each cycle, with the 15 mm stroke matching the compact travel needed for small product formats.
Guard Door Latch
Mount this cylinder on a machine guard to pull a latch bolt clear of the door frame. The spring-extend fail-safe returns the bolt to the locked position when air is removed.
Is the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE32X15SB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this cylinder, consider that the 32 mm bore provides 296 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, while a smaller 25 mm bore offers 170.9 N and a larger 40 mm bore gives 500.3 N at the same pressure. This model has a 15 mm stroke, which is within the standard 25 mm maximum for this bore size. The male rod thread (B code) simplifies mounting with rod-end accessories, and the 1/8" port suits common air line fittings. Remember that on air loss, the spring returns the rod to its extended position; it does not hold a mid-stroke position.
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 ATE32X15SB FAQ
The ATE32X15SB delivers 296 N of pull at 0.5 MPa and 434.2 N at 0.7 MPa, both net of the return spring. The minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa, and the proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi). Operating temperature range is -20 to +70 C, with a speed range of 50-500 mm/s.
The magnet is fitted on this model because it carries the -S option, enabling CMSE or DMSE switches. The ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, saving mounting space in tight fixtures. A fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke energy.
