The AirTAC Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE63X10B is a genuine single acting, pull (spring return) ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm 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.
This ATE63X10B is a single acting pull cylinder, with a spring that extends the rod and air that retracts it. At 0.5 MPa it delivers a net pull of 1320 N, and at 0.7 MPa that rises to 1903.2 N, figures that already account for the return spring.
The ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which helps when space is tight. With a 63 mm bore and 10 mm stroke, this unit has a male rod thread (B code) and a 1/8" port. The fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs the impact of short, rapid cycles, and the hard-anodized aluminium body keeps the weight down without sacrificing rigidity.

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.
| Pressure | Pull force (spring return) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 1320.0 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1903.2 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).

|---|---|
| 63 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×10 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSE / DMSE sensors (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
ACE-family variants: ACE (double acting), ASE / ATE (single acting push / pull), ACED (double rod), ACEJ (adjustable stroke), TACE / TACED (non-rotating twin-guide yoke). Mounting accessories: FA / FB flange, LB foot, CA / CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, FTC; plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G.
Use the 1320 N pull to securely clamp a workpiece in a CNC milling fixture. The short stroke and compact body fit within the machine's tight envelope, and the spring return lifts the clamp clear when air is removed.
In a carton labeling line, this cylinder can retract a label applicator head after each cycle. The 10 mm stroke is enough for precise placement, and the fixed TPU bumper prevents harsh stops at high cycle rates.
On a safety gate for a robotic cell, the ATE63X10B pulls a locking pin out of a receiver. The spring extends the pin to lock the gate when air pressure is off, providing a fail-safe condition. The 1903.2 N pull at 0.7 MPa easily overcomes any minor misalignment.
For a lighter pull, consider the ATE50X10 with 775 N at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the ATE80X10 which offers 2159.1 N at the same pressure. This 63 mm bore model suits applications needing a moderate pull force with a compact footprint. Remember, the spring returns the rod to its extended position on air loss; it will not hold a load at mid-stroke. The male rod thread simplifies direct attachment of fixtures, and the 1/8" port is standard for this bore size.
Quick checklist
The net pull force, after accounting for the return spring, is 1320 N at 0.5 MPa and 1903.2 N at 0.7 MPa. The minimum working pressure to overcome the spring is 0.2 MPa, and the maximum is 1.0 MPa (145 psi).
The ATE63X10B's body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, saving valuable mounting space in tight fixtures. It also features a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb energy, and the optional -S magnet (not included here) can be added for position sensing with CMSE or DMSE switches.
