Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE50X10B
The AirTAC Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE50X10B 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 ATE50X10B
This AirTAC ATE50X10B is a single acting pull cylinder with spring return, so the spring extends the rod and air retracts it. At 0.5 MPa it delivers a net pull of 775 N, and at 0.7 MPa that rises to 1127.5 N, with the return spring already accounted for in both figures.
The ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which lets it fit into tight jigs and gantries. With a 10 mm stroke and a male rod thread, it suits short pull motions; the fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke energy. As a rule of thumb, plan for about 465 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which equates to lifting roughly 47 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

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 ATE50X10B Is Used
Jig Clamping
Use the 775 N pull at 0.5 MPa to retract a clamping arm in a CNC fixture, where the compact body fits under a workholding plate.
Sorting Gate
In a parcel sorting line, this cylinder pulls a diverter gate back to route packages, with the spring extending it to the default position when air is off.
Press Guard Interlock
Mount it on a small press guard to pull a locking pin clear of the guard frame, using the 1127.5 N pull at 0.7 MPa for reliable retraction.
Is the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE50X10B the Right Cylinder?
For a smaller option, the ATE40X10B offers a 500.3 N pull at 0.5 MPa, while the ATE63X10B provides 1320 N at the same pressure. Choose this 50 mm bore when you need a mid-range pull force in a compact envelope. Remember, on air loss the spring returns the rod to its extended home position, so it does not hold a mid-stroke load. The male rod thread (B) simplifies attachment, and since this code lacks the -S suffix, there is no magnet for sensors.
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 ATE50X10B FAQ
The ATE50X10B delivers a net pull of 775 N at 0.5 MPa and 1127.5 N at 0.7 MPa, with the spring force already subtracted. The minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa, and the proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi). The operating pressure range is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi).
No, this model without the -S code has no magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches cannot be mounted. To use sensors, you must order the version with the optional -S magnet, such as ATE50X10SB. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends handles end-of-stroke impact, not adjustable cushioning.
