About the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE40X10B
This AirTAC ATE40X10B is a single acting pull cylinder with spring return, meaning the spring extends the rod and air retracts it. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 500.3 N of pull force, net of the return spring, and 729 N at 0.7 MPa, with a minimum working pressure of 0.2 MPa. The ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, saving valuable space in tight machine frames. With a male rod thread (B code) and no magnet fitted, it is ready for direct coupling to a load without sensor provisions.
For real-world sizing, plan for roughly 300 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting about 30 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and the hard-anodized aluminium body with S45C hard-chrome rod resists wear in continuous cycling. This compact unit operates on filtered air (40 um) at speeds from 50 to 500 mm/s, making it a dependable choice for short-stroke pull applications.

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 ATE40X10B Is Used
Jig Clamping
Use the 500.3 N pull at 0.5 MPa to retract a clamping arm on a CNC fixture, holding a 2 kg workpiece firmly during drilling. The compact body fits under the worktable where a full-length cylinder would not.
Carton Tabbing
In a packaging line, this cylinder pulls a tab folder down to crease cardboard flaps before sealing. The 10 mm stroke cycles at up to 500 mm/s, keeping pace with a 30 cartons-per-minute conveyor.
Safety Gate Latch
Mount this unit on a machine guard to retract a spring-loaded latch pin. On air loss, the spring extends the rod to lock the gate, providing a fail-safe that protects operators from moving parts.
Is the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE40X10B the Right Cylinder?
When selecting this ATE40X10B, consider that it provides 500.3 N pull at 0.5 MPa, which suits light to medium clamping or lifting tasks. For smaller jobs, the ATE32X25 offers 296.0 N at the same pressure, while the ATE50X25 steps up to 775.0 N if you need more force. The 10 mm stroke is fixed and short, so verify your travel requirement matches before ordering. This model has a male rod thread (B) and a 1/8" port; the optional -S magnet is not included, so no CMSE or DMSE sensors can be mounted on this unit. On air loss, the spring returns the rod to its extended home position, but it does not hold a mid-stroke load.
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 ATE40X10B FAQ
The ATE40X10B delivers 500.3 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa and 729 N at 0.7 MPa, both net of the return spring. It operates from 0.2 to 1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). The 40 mm bore cylinder has a 12 mm rod, a 1/8" port, and a 10 mm standard stroke.
The ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into machine frames, guards, and gantries where a longer cylinder would not. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs impact, and the hard-anodized aluminium body resists wear. This model has no magnet, so order the -S version if you need CMSE or DMSE sensors.
