Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE40X10
The AirTAC Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE40X10 is a genuine single acting, pull (spring return) ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 10mm 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 ATE40X10
This ATE40X10 is a single acting pull cylinder, meaning the spring extends the rod and air retracts it, with forces already net of the spring. At 0.5 MPa it pulls 500.3 N, and at 0.7 MPa it pulls 729 N, so you can plan real work around the lower figure - about 300 N for a safe working load, or roughly 31 kg lifted vertically with a 2:1 margin.
Its ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, letting it fit into tight jigs and gantries where a full-length cylinder would not. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod resist wear, while a fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke energy. This model has no magnet, so order the optional -S code if you need CMSE or DMSE switch feedback.

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 (Ø40mm)
| Pressure | Pull force (spring return) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 500.3 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 729.0 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 ATE40X10 Is Used
Jig Clamp Retract
Use the 500.3 N pull at 0.5 MPa to retract a locating pin in a CNC fixture, with the spring extending it to lock the part when air is off.
Carton Tuck Return
In a packaging line, this cylinder pulls a flap tucker back after each cycle, and the spring repositions it for the next box, saving space in the tight machine frame.
Gate Pivot Assist
Mount it with a clevis to pull a safety gate closed on a press, relying on the spring to open it when air is removed, with the 10 mm stroke matching the gate travel.
Is the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE40X10 the Right Cylinder?
For a lighter pull, the ATE32X25 offers 296 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the ATE50X25 gives 775 N at the same pressure, so you can match the force to your part. This 40 mm bore with a 10 mm stroke suits short retract movements where the spring reliably returns the rod to its extended home position on air loss - it does not hold a mid-stroke position. Mounting options like FA/FB flange, LB foot, or CA/CB clevis bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE or DMSE sensors for position confirmation.
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 ATE40X10 FAQ
The ATE40X10 pulls 500.3 N at 0.5 MPa and 729 N at 0.7 MPa, both net of the return spring. Minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa, operating range is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and speed is 50-500 mm/s.
The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into compact jigs and guards. It uses a fixed TPU bumper at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration, and the optional -S magnet is required for CMSE or DMSE sensors.
