Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE50X15
The AirTAC Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE50X15 is a genuine single acting, pull (spring return) ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 15mm 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 ATE50X15
This AirTAC ATE50X15 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 775 N of pull force, net of the return spring, and at 0.7 MPa that rises to 1127.5 N.
Its ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, making it a fit for tight machine guards and gantries. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod resist wear, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke impact. As a buying rule, plan for about 465 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts 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 ATE50X15 Is Used
Jig Clamping Pull
Use the ATE50X15 to pull a clamping arm down onto a workpiece in a CNC fixture. Its 775 N pull at 0.5 MPa holds parts securely, and the compact body fits under the spindle without extra clearance.
Conveyor Gate Release
In a packaging line, this cylinder retracts a stop gate to let a carton pass. The spring extends the gate back into place automatically when air is released, and the 15 mm stroke is enough to clear the product path.
Sorting Mechanism Pull
On a sorting station, the ATE50X15 pulls a diverter arm to route items to a secondary lane. The 775 N force handles light to medium loads, and the TPU bumper prevents shock at the end of each cycle.
Is the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE50X15 the Right Cylinder?
For a lighter pull, the ATE32X25 offers 296 N at 0.5 MPa, while the ATE63X25 steps up to 1320 N at the same pressure. This 50 mm bore model suits short-stroke pull applications up to 25 mm standard. The spring extends the rod at rest and on air loss, so it does not hold a mid-stroke position. Choose the optional -S code if you need a magnet for CMSE or DMSE sensors; without it, no sensor can be mounted. Mounting options include FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, and FTC brackets.
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 ATE50X15 FAQ
The ATE50X15 provides 775 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa and 1127.5 N at 0.7 MPa, both net of the return spring. It operates from 0.2 MPa minimum pressure up to 1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). The speed range is 50-500 mm/s.
The ATE50X15 uses an ISO 21287 compact body that is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, saving mounting space in tight areas. It has a fixed TPU bumper at both ends for impact absorption, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE or DMSE sensors for position detection.
