The AirTAC Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE63X15SB 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 ATE63X15SB is a single acting pull cylinder with a spring return, meaning the spring extends the rod and air retracts it. It delivers 1320 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa and 1903.2 N at 0.7 MPa, net of the return spring, making it a strong choice for retracting tasks in tight spaces.
The ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, fitting easily into guard doors and indexing fixtures. The optional -S magnet is fitted on this model, enabling CMSE or DMSE switch mounting for position sensing. For a safe working load, plan for about 80 kg of real vertical work at 0.5 MPa, not the full rating.

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.
Pull a locating pin or clamp arm in a CNC fixture with 1320 N at 0.5 MPa, freeing operator hands for part loading.
Retract a safety interlock bolt on a machine guard, with the spring extending the latch to secure the door when air is off.
Pull a dancer roller to tension stretch film on a packaging line, using the compact body to fit between frame rails.
For a lighter retraction task, the ATE50X25 offers 775 N at 0.5 MPa, while the ATE80X25 provides 2159.1 N if you need more power. This 63 mm bore unit with a 15 mm stroke is ideal for short pull strokes up to 25 mm standard. The male rod thread (B) simplifies attachment, and the fixed TPU bumper at both ends handles end-of-stroke energy. Remember, the spring extends the rod at rest and does not hold a mid-stroke position.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the pull force is 1320 N; at 0.7 MPa, it is 1903.2 N. These figures are net of the return spring. The minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa, and the proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, saving mounting length in tight gantries. It uses a fixed TPU bumper at both ends for deceleration, and this model includes the optional -S magnet for CMSE or DMSE sensors.
