Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE50X10
The AirTAC Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE50X10 is a genuine single acting, pull (spring return) ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm 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 ATE50X10
This AirTAC ATE50X10 is a single acting pull cylinder with spring return, meaning the spring extends the rod and air retracts it. It delivers 775 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, net of the return spring, making it suitable for light clamping and positioning tasks.
The ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, saving valuable space in tight machine frames. With a 10 mm stroke and a fixed TPU bumper at both ends, it handles speeds from 50 to 500 mm/s. At 0.5 MPa, a safe working load is roughly 47 kg, so plan for real work around that figure rather than the full rating.

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 (Ø50mm)
| Pressure | Pull force (spring return) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 775.0 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1127.5 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 ATE50X10 Is Used
Jig Clamping
Use in a fixture to pull a locating pin or clamp arm into place with 775 N of force. The compact body fits under a worktable where a longer cylinder would interfere with chip removal.
Carton Tabbing
Retract a tab-folding mechanism on a carton erector. The 10 mm stroke cycles quickly at up to 500 mm/s, and the TPU bumper prevents shock at end of stroke.
Gate Diverter
Pull a small diverter plate across a conveyor lane to redirect lightweight packages. The spring return ensures the plate returns to the home position if air pressure drops.
Is the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE50X10 the Right Cylinder?
For a smaller option, the ATE32X25 provides 296 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, while the ATE63X25 offers 1320 N for heavier tasks. This 50 mm bore model with a 10 mm stroke suits applications needing a short, compact pull action. The spring returns the rod to its extended position on air loss, but it does not hold a mid-stroke position. Mounting options include FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, and SDB pivot brackets. The optional -S magnet is not fitted here, so sensors cannot be mounted without ordering that code.
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 ATE50X10 FAQ
The ATE50X10 provides 775 N of pull at 0.5 MPa and 1127.5 N at 0.7 MPa, both net of the return spring. Minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa, and the proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
No, this ATE50X10 does not have the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches cannot be mounted. Order the -S code (e.g., ATE50X10S) to get the built-in magnet for sensor detection.
