Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE50X10S
The AirTAC Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE50X10S 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 ATE50X10S
This AirTAC ATE50X10S is a single acting pull cylinder, spring-return, where the spring extends the rod and air retracts it. With a 50 mm bore, it delivers a net pull force of 775 N at 0.5 MPa (and 1127.5 N at 0.7 MPa), making it a compact solution for pulling applications.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, fitting tight spaces. The optional -S magnet is fitted here, enabling CMSE or DMSE sensors. For real work, plan for about 465 N (roughly 47 kg vertical lift) at 0.5 MPa, not 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 ATE50X10S Is Used
Jig Clamping Pull
In a CNC fixture, this cylinder pulls a clamp arm to secure a part during drilling. The 775 N pull at 0.5 MPa holds typical aluminum workpieces, and the short body fits under the machine table.
Conveyor Gate Actuator
On a packaging line, it retracts a stop gate to let a carton pass. The 10 mm stroke is enough to clear the product path, and the spring extends the gate back to block the next item.
Sorting Mechanism
In a warehouse sorting unit, this cylinder pulls a diverter arm to route parcels to a side chute. Its compact size allows multiple units side-by-side, and the optional magnet signals the arm position to a PLC.
Is the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE50X10S the Right Cylinder?
For a lighter pull, consider the ATE40X25 with 500.3 N at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the ATE63X25 for 1320 N. This 10 mm stroke is short, so it's for compact movements, not long travel. The spring returns the rod to extended on air loss, but it does not hold a mid-stroke position. Mounting options include FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, and FTC brackets, all fitting the ISO 21287 face.
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 ATE50X10S FAQ
The net pull force (already accounting for the return spring) is 775 N at 0.5 MPa and 1127.5 N at 0.7 MPa. The minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa, and the proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
Yes, this specific ATE50X10S has the optional -S magnet fitted, so you can mount CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches. Without the -S code, no magnet is present. The cylinder uses a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb energy, not an adjustable cushion.
