Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE63X5
The AirTAC Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE63X5 is a genuine single acting, pull (spring return) ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 5mm 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 ATE63X5
This AirTAC ATE63X5 is a single acting pull cylinder with a spring-return design, meaning the spring extends the rod and air retracts it, delivering a net pull force of 1320 N at 0.5 MPa. Its compact ISO 21287 body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, making it ideal for tight machine frames and guarding where space is at a premium.
With a 5 mm stroke, this unit is built for short, precise retraction tasks, and the fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact. For a real-world load, you can safely plan to lift about 81 kg vertically at 0.5 MPa (using a 2:1 safety margin on the 1320 N force), which helps match it to a specific part weight. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod resist wear in repetitive cycles, and the optional -S magnet code enables CMSE or DMSE sensors for position feedback.

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 ATE63X5 Is Used
Fixture Clamp Retract
Use the ATE63X5 to retract a locating pin or clamp in a CNC fixture, where a short 5 mm pull releases a part after machining. The 1320 N pull at 0.5 MPa easily overcomes spring-loaded detents, and the compact body fits under a workholding plate.
Conveyor Stop Release
In a packaging line, this cylinder can pull a stop gate down to let a carton pass, then the spring extends it back up to block the next item. The 5 mm stroke is enough to clear the product path, and the fixed TPU bumper prevents shock to the gate mechanism.
Sorting Gate Pull
For a small sorting station, mount the ATE63X5 to pull a diverter flap sideways, redirecting a box to a different lane. The spring return ensures the flap defaults to the main path on air failure, and the 1320 N force handles light to medium loads without stalling.
Is the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE63X5 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this ATE63X5, compare it with the smaller ATE50X5, which pulls 775 N at 0.5 MPa, or the larger ATE80X5, which pulls 2159.1 N at 0.5 MPa, to match your required force. Since this is a spring-extend cylinder, it returns to the extended position on air loss, so it does not hold a mid-stroke position-plan your circuit accordingly. The 5 mm stroke is within the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, and the 1/8" port suits typical shop air lines, with mounting options like FA/FB flange, LB foot, or CA/CB clevis available.
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 ATE63X5 FAQ
The ATE63X5 delivers a net pull force of 1320 N at 0.5 MPa and 1903.2 N at 0.7 MPa, with these values already accounting for the return spring. The minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa, and the proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi). The operating temperature range is -20 to +70 C, and the speed range is 50-500 mm/s.
The ATE63X5 uses a short-body ISO 21287 construction that saves about 50% of the mounting length compared to an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight spaces like machine guards or gantries. It has a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb impact, and the optional -S magnet code allows CMSE or DMSE sensors for position detection, but without -S, no sensor can be mounted.
