The AirTAC Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE32X25SB is a genuine single acting, pull (spring return) ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 25mm 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 ISO 21287 compact cylinder is single acting with a spring-extend, air-retract pull action, delivering a net pull of 296 N at 0.5 MPa and 434.2 N at 0.7 MPa. Its short body takes up about 50% less mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, making it a fit for tight machine guarding and gantry tooling where space is scarce.
With the optional -S magnet fitted, this model works with CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches for reliable position sensing. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod resist wear, while a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs stroke energy. For a 2:1 safety margin, plan to lift about 18 kg vertically at 0.5 MPa, not the full 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.
Use the 296 N pull to retract a spring-loaded clamp pin in a CNC fixture, freeing the operator's hands for part loading and unloading.
Pull a safety interlock latch on a robotic cell access door, with the spring extending the latch to lock the guard when air is removed.
Retract a tension roller arm on a labeling machine to release the web for splicing, then let the spring re-apply pressure automatically.
For a lighter pull, the ATE25X25 offers 170.9 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the ATE40X25 gives 500.3 N at the same pressure. The spring returns the rod to its extended home position on air loss, so it does not hold a mid-stroke load. Choose the male rod thread (B code) for direct coupling, and add FA/FB flange or LB foot mounts to match your fixture pattern.
Quick checklist
The net pull force is 296 N at 0.5 MPa and 434.2 N at 0.7 MPa, already 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 compared to an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into confined jigs and gantries. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE or DMSE switch mounting.
