Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE32X5B
The AirTAC Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE32X5B is a genuine single acting, pull (spring return) ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 5mm 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 ATE32X5B
This AirTAC ATE32X5B is a single acting pull cylinder, spring-extend type, with a 32 mm bore and 5 mm stroke. It delivers 296 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, net of the return spring, making it a compact solution for light retraction tasks.
Its ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, fitting into tight machine guards and gantries. With a male rod thread (B code) and 1/8" port, it mounts directly to standard fixtures, and the fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact. 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.
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 ATE32X5B Is Used
Jig Clamping Retract
Use in a CNC fixture to retract a locating pin after clamping, where the spring extends the pin for part loading and air pulls it clear during machining. The 5 mm stroke and 296 N pull handle light pins at 0.5 MPa.
Conveyor Stop Release
Mount on a small conveyor to pull a stop block down and let packages pass. The spring returns the stop to its raised position when air is off, and the compact body fits under the conveyor frame.
Gate Latch Pull
In a packaging line, retract a safety gate latch with a 5 mm pull. The spring extends the latch to lock the gate, and air releases it, with the TPU bumper preventing end-of-stroke noise.
Is the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE32X5B the Right Cylinder?
Choose this ATE32X5B when you need a compact, spring-return pull action for short 5 mm strokes. For lighter loads, consider the ATE25X25 with 170.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the ATE40X25 for 500.3 N pull. The spring extends the rod at rest and on air loss, so 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, all compatible with the ISO 21287 face. This model has no magnet, so order the -S code if you need CMSE or DMSE sensors.
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 ATE32X5B FAQ
The ATE32X5B delivers 296 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa and 434.2 N at 0.7 MPa, both net of the return spring. The spring extends the rod when air is off, and the minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring. Operating pressure range is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The ATE32X5B uses an ISO 21287 compact design, saving about 50% of the mounting length compared to an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. This makes it ideal for tight spaces in jigs and guards. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod ensure durability, and the fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact. The optional -S magnet is not fitted here, so no sensors can be mounted without ordering that code.
