Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE50X5SB
The AirTAC Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE50X5SB is a genuine single acting, pull (spring return) ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 5mm 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 ATE50X5SB
This ATE50X5SB is a single acting pull cylinder with spring return, delivering a net pull of 775 N at 0.5 MPa and 1127.5 N at 0.7 MPa. The spring extends the rod at rest, and air retracts it when pressurized, requiring a minimum of 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring force.
Its ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, making it ideal for tight spaces. The male rod thread (B code) and optional -S magnet allow for direct mounting of CMSE or DMSE sensors, while the fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact.

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 ATE50X5SB Is Used
Jig Clamping
Use the 775 N pull to clamp small parts in a CNC fixture, where the compact body fits between guide rails and the spring return releases the part when air is cut.
Sorting Gate
Actuate a diverter gate on a packaging line with a 5 mm stroke to redirect lightweight cartons, benefiting from the short cycle time and reliable spring return.
Safety Guard Lock
Retract a locking pin on a machine guard with the 1127.5 N pull at 0.7 MPa, ensuring the guard stays closed when air pressure is lost, as the spring extends the pin.
Is the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE50X5SB 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 at the same pressure. This 5 mm stroke version suits short, repetitive pull actions where space is at a premium. The spring returns the rod to its extended home position on air loss; it does not hold a mid-stroke position. Choose the -S code for the magnet to enable sensor feedback.
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 ATE50X5SB FAQ
The net pull force is 775 N at 0.5 MPa and 1127.5 N at 0.7 MPa, which already accounts for the return spring. The minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa, and the maximum is 1.0 MPa (145 psi).
The ATE50X5SB uses a hard-anodized aluminum body that is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, saving mounting space. It has a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb impact, and the optional -S magnet allows for CMSE or DMSE sensor mounting.
