The AirTAC Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE80X15SB 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 ATE80X15SB is a single acting pull cylinder with a spring that extends the rod and air that retracts it, delivering a net pull force of 2159.1 N at 0.5 MPa. The 80 mm bore unit has a 20 mm hard-chrome plated S45C rod and a 1/4" port, operating from a minimum pressure of 0.2 MPa.
Its ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, making it ideal for tight spaces. With the optional -S magnet fitted, you can mount CMSE or DMSE switches for position sensing. For a real-world load, this cylinder can safely handle about 132 kg of vertical work at 0.5 MPa, factoring in a 2:1 safety 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).

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 ATE80X15SB to pull and clamp a workpiece against a fixed stop in a CNC milling fixture, providing a secure hold with its 2159.1 N pull force.
In a packaging line, this cylinder can retract a stop gate to divert cartons between two conveyor lanes, with the spring ensuring the gate returns to its blocking position when air is removed.
On a small assembly press, mount the ATE80X15SB to pull a sliding tray out from under the ram for part loading, using its short stroke and compact body to fit within the machine frame.
For lighter pulling tasks, consider the ATE63X25 with a 1320.0 N pull at 0.5 MPa, while the ATE100X25 offers a stronger 3483.6 N pull for heavier operations. This ATE80X15SB model has a 15 mm stroke, which is within the 25 mm standard stroke limit for this bore size. Remember, the spring returns the rod to its extended position on air loss, so it does not hold a mid-stroke position. The male rod thread (B code) and PT port thread are configured for direct mounting.
Quick checklist
This single acting pull cylinder provides a net pull force of 2159.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 3101.6 N at 0.7 MPa, with these values already accounting for the return spring. It requires a minimum working pressure of 0.2 MPa and operates within a range of 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi).
The ATE80X15SB's short body saves about 50% of the mounting length compared to an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is critical for tight machine guarding and gantries. It also features a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb energy, and with the -S magnet option, you can add CMSE or DMSE sensors for position feedback.
