Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE63X15
The AirTAC Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE63X15 is a genuine single acting, pull (spring return) ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm 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 ATE63X15
This AirTAC ATE63X15 is a single acting pull cylinder with a spring return, so the spring extends the rod and air 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, with a minimum working pressure of 0.2 MPa. The ISO 21287 compact body takes up about 50% less mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which suits tight machine frames and guard enclosures. Because the magnet is optional and not fitted here, no CMSE or DMSE sensor can be mounted unless you order the -S code. For a real-world load, plan on about 80 kg of safe vertical lifting at 0.5 MPa, which gives you a 2:1 margin over the theoretical 134.6 kg.
The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome plated rod resist wear in continuous cycling, and the fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact. With a 1/8" port and a female M10x1.5 rod thread, this bore 63 model is built for short-stroke pull applications up to 25 mm standard. Operating pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) and speed ranges from 50 to 500 mm/s, so it handles moderate-speed indexing tasks reliably.

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 (Ø63mm)
| 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).

Where the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE63X15 Is Used
Jig Clamping in CNC Fixtures
Use the 1320 N pull at 0.5 MPa to retract a clamping arm that secures a machined part in a CNC vise, with the spring extending the arm for part loading. The compact body fits under a guard where a longer cylinder would not.
Sorting Gate on a Conveyor
In a parcel sorting line, this cylinder pulls a diverter gate to route boxes to a side chute, then the spring returns it. The 15 mm stroke is enough to shift the gate, and the fixed TPU bumper prevents harsh stops at high cycle rates.
Tensioner for Film Wrapping
On a stretch-wrap machine, the ATE63X15 pulls a dancer roller to maintain film tension during the wrapping cycle. The spring extends the roller to release tension, and the 1903.2 N pull at 0.7 MPa handles heavy film rolls without stalling.
Is the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE63X15 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this ATE63X15, compare it with the smaller ATE50X25, which pulls 775 N at 0.5 MPa, or the larger ATE80X25, which pulls 2159.1 N at the same pressure. For a 15 mm stroke, this 63 mm bore offers a strong pull-to-size ratio, but remember the spring extends the rod at rest, so it does not hold a mid-stroke position on air loss. If you need sensor feedback, order the -S version to get the optional magnet for CMSE or DMSE switches. Mounting options include FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, and FTC brackets, all compatible with the ISO 21287 face.
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 ATE63X15 FAQ
The ATE63X15 delivers a net pull of 1320 N at 0.5 MPa and 1903.2 N at 0.7 MPa, with the spring force already subtracted. It operates from 0.2 to 1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) and has a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). The speed range is 50-500 mm/s, and the port is 1/8".
No, this ATE63X15 does not have a magnet, so no CMSE or DMSE sensor can be mounted. To use sensors, you must order the -S version, which includes the optional magnet. The magnet is never standard, so always specify -S if you need position feedback.
