The AirTAC Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE80X15S 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.
A single acting pull cylinder with spring return, the ATE80X15S keeps its 20 mm rod extended by the return spring and retracts it with compressed air, delivering 2159.1 N of pull at 0.5 MPa and 3101.6 N at 0.7 MPa, both figures already net of the spring. Air filtered to 40 um at 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) drives it at 50-500 mm/s, and the fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs the end-of-stroke shock.
The ISO 21287 compact body is roughly 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so this 80 mm bore fits deep clamping pockets and guarded stations where a full-length body cannot. The hard-anodized aluminium barrel carries the optional -S magnet this model includes, so CMSE / DMSE switches can report end positions, and the FA/FB, LB, CA/CB, CR, SDB and FTC mounting family bolts straight onto the standard face. In practice, plan on about 1295 N of usable pull at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 110 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

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).

|---|---|
| 80 | Bore size 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.
The spring holds the latch hook engaged; a 0.5 MPa air pulse pulls 2159.1 N to release a loaded pallet, and the 15 mm stroke matches the hook travel exactly.
After forming, the cylinder pulls a steel bracket off the lower die; about 1295 N of practical pull at 0.5 MPa clears parts up to roughly 110 kg without a powered return.
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm the gate is fully retracted before the filler head descends, and the spring re-seals the gate on any air loss.
At 15 mm stroke this bore 80 unit is sized for short retraction moves: gripping, unlatching or pulling a heavy part off a locator. If 2159.1 N at 0.5 MPa is more than the job needs, the 63 mm bore pulls 1320 N at 0.5 MPa; if you need more, the 100 mm bore reaches 3483.6 N. Remember the spring, not air, holds the rod out, so the cylinder returns to extended on air loss and will not hold a mid-stroke position.
The female M12x1.75 rod thread takes I or Y knuckles directly, and the 1/4" PT ports suit standard 8 mm or 10 mm tubing runs. This model already carries the -S magnet, so add CMSE or DMSE switches when position signals are required.
Quick checklist
It is a single acting pull cylinder: the spring extends the 20 mm rod and air retracts it. Pull is 2159.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 3101.6 N at 0.7 MPa, both net of the return spring. Working pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, air filtered to 40 um, speed 50-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, and 1/4" PT ports on the 80 mm bore.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight guards and jigs. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clamped anywhere along the barrel for end-of-stroke signals, and FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB or FTC mounts bolt to the standard face.
