About the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE80X20
This AirTAC ATE80X20 is a single acting pull cylinder, spring-return type, where the spring extends the rod and air retracts it. With a bore of 80 mm, it delivers a net pull force of 2159.1 N at 0.5 MPa, and 3101.6 N at 0.7 MPa, making it suitable for moderate pulling tasks in compact spaces.
The ISO 21287 compact body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, fitting into tight jigs and gantries. The optional -S magnet is not fitted here, so no CMSE or DMSE sensors can be used without ordering that code. For a real-world guide, this cylinder can safely lift about 132 kg vertically at 0.5 MPa, assuming a 2:1 safety margin, so plan your payload accordingly.

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 (Ø80mm)
| 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).

Where the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE80X20 Is Used
Jig Clamping
Use in a CNC fixture to pull a clamp arm tight against a workpiece, leveraging the 2159.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa to secure parts during milling operations.
Sorting Gate
In a warehouse conveyor system, this cylinder retracts a gate to divert packages, with the spring returning it to the extended position when air is released, ensuring fail-safe operation.
Press Tray Pull
Mount on a small press to pull a tray or slide back after a forming operation, using the compact body to fit within the machine's tight envelope.
Is the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE80X20 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing, consider that this 80 mm bore provides a 2159.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa, while a smaller 63 mm bore offers 1320.0 N, and a larger 100 mm bore gives 3483.6 N. This ATE80X20 is ideal for applications needing a strong pull in a short stroke. Note that on air loss, the spring returns the rod to its extended home position; it does not hold a mid-stroke position. The 1/4" port and female rod thread M12x1.75 are standard, and mounting options include FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, and FTC brackets.
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 ATE80X20 FAQ
The ATE80X20 provides a pull force of 2159.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 3101.6 N at 0.7 MPa, both net of the return spring. Minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa, and the proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
Yes, it is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder, about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It has a fixed TPU bumper at both ends and mounts via FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, or FTC brackets. The optional -S magnet is required for CMSE or DMSE sensors.
