About the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE50X5S
This AirTAC ATE50X5S is a single acting pull cylinder with spring return, so the spring extends the rod and air retracts it. With a 50 mm bore it delivers 775 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, net of the return spring, and 1127.5 N at 0.7 MPa. The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, letting it fit into tight machine guards and gantries. As a practical guide, at 0.5 MPa this unit can safely handle about 47 kg of vertical work when you apply a 2:1 margin, making it easy to match to real part weights.
The body is hard-anodized aluminium alloy with an S45C hard-chrome plated rod, and a fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke energy. The -S code means the optional magnet is fitted, so you can mount CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches for position sensing. The port is 1/8" PT, and the rod end is female M10x1.5. Operating pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), and speed ranges from 50 to 500 mm/s.

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 ATE50X5S Is Used
Fixture Clamping
Use the 5 mm stroke to pull a clamp arm down onto a workpiece in a CNC milling fixture, with 775 N of pull at 0.5 MPa securing the part during machining.
Conveyor Stop Gate
Mount the cylinder to retract a stop pin on a packaging conveyor line, letting a product pass, with the spring extending the pin back to block the next item.
Gantry Z-Axis Lift
In a pick-and-place gantry, use the ATE50X5S to pull a gripper head up a short distance, with the spring extending it down, saving vertical space in the machine frame.
Is the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE50X5S the Right Cylinder?
For a smaller pull force, the ATE40X25S offers 500.3 N at 0.5 MPa, while the ATE63X25S provides 1320 N at the same pressure, so you can scale up or down within the same compact family. This 5 mm stroke is ideal for short indexing or clamping motions where space is limited. Remember, the spring returns the rod to its extended position on air loss, so it does not hold a mid-stroke load. Choose the -S magnet version for sensor feedback, and pick from FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, or FTC brackets to match your fixture.
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 ATE50X5S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the pull force is 775 N, and at 0.7 MPa it is 1127.5 N, both net of the return spring. 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), with a speed range of 50-500 mm/s.
The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into compact machine guards and gantries. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and the optional -S magnet allows CMSE or DMSE sensors to be mounted for position feedback.
