Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE40X10S
The AirTAC Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE40X10S 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 ATE40X10S
This AirTAC ATE40X10S is a single acting pull cylinder with spring return, so the spring extends the rod and air retracts it. The 40 mm bore delivers a net pull of 500.3 N at 0.5 MPa, enough to move light fixtures or small gates in tight spaces. Its ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits inside machine guards where a full-length unit will not. The optional -S magnet is fitted here, allowing CMSE or DMSE switches to sense the rod position for automation feedback.
At 0.5 MPa, a safe working load is roughly 300 N, which translates to lifting about 30 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod resist wear in continuous cycling. Ports are 1/8" and the female rod thread is M8x1.25, matching common ISO 21287 accessories. Minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa, so it actuates reliably in low-pressure circuits.

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 ATE40X10S Is Used
Jig Clamping
Use the ATE40X10S to pull a clamp arm down onto a workpiece in a CNC fixture. The 500.3 N pull at 0.5 MPa holds small parts securely, and the short 10 mm stroke matches the clamp travel.
Gate Diverter
In a packaging line, this cylinder retracts a diverter gate to redirect boxes. The spring-extend action returns the gate to its default position when air is off, and the compact body fits between conveyor rails.
Safety Guard Latch
Mount the ATE40X10S on a machine guard to pull a latch bolt out of a recess. The 10 mm stroke is enough to disengage the lock, and the TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact without shock.
Is the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE40X10S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the ATE40X10S when you need a compact pull action with a short 10 mm stroke and a net 500.3 N pull at 0.5 MPa. For lighter duties, the ATE32X25 offers 296 N at 0.5 MPa, while the ATE50X25 steps up to 775 N. Since this is spring-extend, it returns to the extended position on air loss and does not hold a mid-stroke load. Mounting options include FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, and FTC brackets, all bolting directly to the ISO 21287 face. The fitted -S magnet enables CMSE or DMSE sensors for position detection.
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 ATE40X10S FAQ
The ATE40X10S is single acting pull with spring return, delivering a net pull of 500.3 N at 0.5 MPa and 729 N at 0.7 MPa, both after accounting for the return spring. Minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa, operating range is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), and proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi). Speed range is 50-500 mm/s.
The ATE40X10S has an ISO 21287 compact body that is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, saving mounting length in tight jigs or guards. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and the optional -S magnet (fitted here) allows CMSE or DMSE sensors for position feedback.
