The AirTAC Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE63X15B 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.
This AirTAC ATE63X15B is a single acting pull cylinder with a spring that extends the rod and air that retracts it, delivering a net pull of 1320 N at 0.5 MPa and 1903.2 N at 0.7 MPa. Its ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, making it ideal for tight machine frames where space is at a premium.
The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome plated rod resist wear in continuous cycling, while the fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impacts. With a 63 mm bore and 16 mm rod, this unit offers a practical vertical lift of about 80 kg at 0.5 MPa when you apply a 2:1 safety margin, so you can confidently match it to real part weights.

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. |
| ×15 | 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 retract a clamp arm in a CNC fixture, freeing the operator's hands for part loading. The compact body fits under a workholding plate where a longer cylinder would collide with the spindle.
Retract a safety gate on a packaging line with the spring extending it to close. The 15 mm stroke matches a small access door, and the fixed bumper prevents hard stops at both ends.
Pull a diverting arm on a conveyor to route boxes to a side lane. The 63 mm bore provides enough force to move lightweight cartons, while the short stroke keeps cycle times fast at 50-500 mm/s.
For lighter duty, the ATE50X25 offers a 775 N pull at 0.5 MPa, while this 63 mm bore steps up to 1320 N, suiting medium-sized clamping or lifting tasks. The male rod thread (B) simplifies direct coupling to linkages, and the 1/8" port matches common air line fittings. Since the spring returns the rod to its extended position on air loss, it does not hold a mid-stroke load; plan for full extension at rest. The optional -S magnet is not fitted here, so CMSE or DMSE sensors cannot be used unless you order the magnet variant.
Quick checklist
This single acting pull cylinder delivers 1320 N at 0.5 MPa and 1903.2 N at 0.7 MPa, both net of the return spring. Minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa, and the proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi). The 63 mm bore uses a 1/8" port and a 16 mm rod.
It follows the ISO 21287 compact standard, so its body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. This saves mounting space in tight fixtures, and the fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke energy without needing adjustment.
