The AirTAC Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE63X15S 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 ATE63X15S is a single acting pull cylinder with spring return, built to the ISO 21287 compact standard. The spring extends the rod while air retracts it, delivering a net pull of 1320 N at 0.5 MPa and 1903.2 N at 0.7 MPa. Its hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod resist wear in continuous duty.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, fitting into tight machine frames. The optional -S magnet is fitted here, enabling CMSE or DMSE sensors for position detection. For a safe vertical lift, plan for about 81 kg (1320 N x 0.6 / 9.81) at 0.5 MPa, giving a 2:1 margin for real parts.

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).

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 ATE63X15S to pull a clamp arm down onto a workpiece in a CNC fixture. The 1320 N pull at 0.5 MPa holds parts securely, and the compact body fits under a machine guard where a longer cylinder would not.
On a packaging line, this cylinder retracts a stop gate to let cartons pass. The spring extends the gate when air is off, providing a fail-safe block, and the 15 mm stroke is enough to clear the product path.
In a stamping press, the ATE63X15S pulls a safety guard closed before the cycle starts. The 1903.2 N pull at 0.7 MPa ensures the guard stays shut, while the TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact without shock to the frame.
Choose this 63 mm bore when you need a compact pull action with a spring return, such as clamping or retracting a guard. It delivers 1320 N at 0.5 MPa, while a smaller 50 mm bore offers 775 N and a larger 80 mm bore provides 2159.1 N, both at the same pressure. The spring extends the rod at rest, so it returns to the extended position on air loss, but it does not hold a mid-stroke load. Mounting options include FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, and FTC brackets, with the optional -S magnet already fitted for sensor feedback.
Quick checklist
The ATE63X15S 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. Operating pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and speed is 50-500 mm/s. The minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring.
The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight jigs and gantries. It has a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb impact, and the optional -S magnet (fitted here) works with CMSE or DMSE sensors. Mounting brackets like FA/FB flange, LB foot, and CA/CB clevis bolt directly to the ISO 21287 face.
