Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE32X5S
The AirTAC Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE32X5S 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 ATE32X5S
This ATE32X5S is a single acting pull cylinder with spring return, meaning 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 spring, and 434.2 N at 0.7 MPa, making it a compact force source for light automation tasks.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight jigs and gantries. The optional -S magnet is fitted here, enabling CMSE or DMSE switches for position sensing, and the fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact. For a safe working load, plan for about 178 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which is 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 ATE32X5S Is Used
Fixture Clamping
Use in a CNC fixture to pull a clamp arm against a workpiece with 296 N at 0.5 MPa, holding parts securely during drilling or milling. The short stroke and compact body fit under a workholding table.
Small Part Ejection
Mount on a pick-and-place gantry to retract a pin that releases small stamped parts from a nest. The 5 mm stroke is enough to clear the part, and the spring returns the pin to extended for the next cycle.
Position Sensing in Packaging
In a packaging line, use the -S magnet with a DMSE solid-state switch to confirm the cylinder has retracted, ensuring a carton flap is folded before sealing. The compact body saves space on the conveyor frame.
Is the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE32X5S the Right Cylinder?
Choose this ATE32X5S for short-stroke pull applications where space is tight. Compared to an ATE25X25 (170.9 N at 0.5 MPa), this 32 mm bore offers 296 N, while an ATE40X25 provides 500.3 N if you need more force. The 5 mm stroke is ideal for clamping or indexing, and the spring returns the rod to extended on air loss, but 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.
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 ATE32X5S FAQ
The ATE32X5S delivers 296 N of pull at 0.5 MPa and 434.2 N at 0.7 MPa, both net of the return spring. Minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa, and maximum is 1.0 MPa (145 psi). The 32 mm bore uses a 1/8" port and has a 12 mm rod with an M8x1.25 female thread.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits in tight jigs and guards. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and the optional -S magnet allows CMSE or DMSE switches for sensing. Mounting options like FA/FB flange, LB foot, and CA/CB clevis bolt directly to the standard face.
