The AirTAC Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE80X15B is a genuine single acting, pull (spring return) ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 15mm stroke, 1/4" 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 ATE80X15B is a single acting pull cylinder with a spring return, meaning the spring extends the rod and air retracts it. With an 80 mm bore, it delivers a net pull force of 2159.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 3101.6 N at 0.7 MPa, already accounting for the spring resistance. The compact ISO 21287 body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, saving valuable space in tight machine frames and guarding. A practical buyer insight: at 0.5 MPa, you can plan for about 132 kg of safe vertical lifting (2159.1 N divided by 9.81, then halved for a 2:1 margin), so you can match real part weights with confidence. The male rod thread (B code) simplifies direct attachment to tooling without a rod-end adapter.
The 80 mm bore uses a 1/4" port, and the hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod resists wear in continuous cycling. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact, protecting the cylinder and the load. Operating pressure ranges from 0.2 MPa to 1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). This model has no magnet, so it cannot accommodate CMSE or DMSE sensors unless you order the optional -S code for a built-in magnet. The speed range is 50-500 mm/s, suitable for moderate-speed automation tasks.

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 | 2159.1 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 3101.6 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 ATE80X15B to pull a clamp arm down onto a workpiece in a CNC milling fixture. The 2159.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa holds parts securely, and the compact body fits under the spindle guard where a longer cylinder would not.
Mount this cylinder to retract a stop pin on a packaging conveyor line. The spring extends the pin to block products at rest, and air pulls it down to release, with the 15 mm stroke matching typical gate travel.
In a parcel sorting system, this cylinder pulls a diverter arm back to clear the main path. The 80 mm bore provides enough force to move lightweight cartons, and the short body saves space in dense sorting arrays.
For sizing, compare this 80 mm bore with smaller or larger options. A 63 mm bore ATE delivers 1320.0 N pull at 0.5 MPa, while a 100 mm bore provides 3483.6 N at the same pressure, so choose based on your load and space constraints. This 15 mm stroke is well within the 25 mm standard for single-acting pull cylinders, and the spring extends the rod at rest, so it does not hold a mid-stroke position on air loss. Mounting options include FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, and FTC brackets, all compatible with the ISO 21287 face. Since this unit has no magnet, order the -S variant if you need position sensing with CMSE or DMSE switches.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the pull force is 2159.1 N, and at 0.7 MPa, it is 3101.6 N, both net of the return spring. The minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa, and the proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi). The operating pressure range is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi).
The ATE80X15B has a short body that saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, making it ideal for tight spaces. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs impact, and the optional -S magnet (not fitted here) enables CMSE or DMSE sensors for position feedback.
