The AirTAC Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE40X10SB 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.
This AirTAC ATE40X10SB is a genuine ISO 21287 compact cylinder built for single acting pull duty, with a spring that extends the rod and air that retracts it. The 40 mm bore delivers a net pull of 500.3 N at 0.5 MPa, so you can plan for about 30 kg of safe vertical lifting with a 2:1 margin. Its hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod resist wear in high-cycle pick-and-place work.
The short ISO 21287 body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which makes it a strong fit for tight gantries and guarded cells. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted for position sensing. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs stroke energy, and the M8x1.25 male rod thread simplifies direct coupling to tooling.

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.
| 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).

| S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSE / DMSE sensors (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
ACE-family variants: ACE (double acting), ASE / ATE (single acting push / pull), ACED (double rod), ACEJ (adjustable stroke), TACE / TACED (non-rotating twin-guide yoke). Mounting accessories: FA / FB flange, LB foot, CA / CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, FTC; plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G.
Use the 500.3 N pull at 0.5 MPa to retract a locating pin in a CNC fixture, with the spring extending it for part loading. The 10 mm stroke fits tight clamping blocks.
Mount this cylinder on a safety gate to retract a spring-loaded latch. The compact body fits inside a slim guard rail, and the male rod thread connects directly to the latch plate.
In a packaging line, air retracts the rod to pull a reject finger out of the product path, letting the spring push it back. The 10 mm stroke clears small parts without over-travel.
For lighter duty, the ATE32X10 pulls 296.0 N at 0.5 MPa, while this 40 mm bore steps up to 500.3 N for medium loads. Since the spring extends the rod at rest, it returns to the extended position on air loss rather than holding a mid-stroke position. The male rod thread and 1/8" port suit compact fixtures, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE or DMSE sensors for position feedback.
Quick checklist
The ATE40X10SB delivers a net pull of 500.3 N at 0.5 MPa and 729 N at 0.7 MPa, with the spring force already subtracted. It operates from 0.2 MPa minimum up to 1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into narrow gantries and guarded cells. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs stroke energy, and the optional -S magnet allows CMSE or DMSE sensors for position feedback.
