Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE50X10SB
The AirTAC Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE50X10SB 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 ATE50X10SB
This ATE50X10SB is a single acting PULL cylinder, meaning its spring extends the rod while compressed air retracts it, delivering a net pull force of 775 N at 0.5 MPa. Its compact ISO 21287 body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, making it ideal for tight machine guarding and indexing fixtures where space is at a premium.
With a 10 mm stroke, this unit is built for short, precise retraction tasks. The optional -S magnet is fitted here, enabling CMSE or DMSE switches for position sensing. At 0.5 MPa, a safe working rule is about 465 N, which translates to lifting roughly 47 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin, helping you match it to real part weights.

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 ATE50X10SB Is Used
Jig Clamping
Use the 775 N pull to retract a locating pin or clamp in a CNC fixture, where its short body fits between guide rails and the spring return safely releases the part on air loss.
Carton Tabbing
In a carton erector, this cylinder pulls a tab or flap into place before sealing. The 10 mm stroke is enough for the motion, and the compact body fits within the machine's frame.
Gate Retraction
Retract a small stop gate on a conveyor line to let a product pass. The spring extends the gate to block, and air pulls it down, with the 775 N force easily moving lightweight diverters.
Is the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE50X10SB the Right Cylinder?
For a lighter pull, consider the ATE40X25 with 500.3 N at 0.5 MPa, while the ATE63X25 offers a stronger 1320 N pull. This 50 mm bore version with a 10 mm stroke is a good middle ground for compact pull applications. The male rod thread (B code) simplifies attachment of custom tooling, and the 1/8" port suits standard shop air lines.
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 ATE50X10SB FAQ
The net pull force is 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 ISO 21287 body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, saving valuable mounting length in tight spots. This model includes the optional -S magnet for CMSE/DMSE sensors, and the fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs energy without adjustment.
