The AirTAC Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE80X5 is a genuine single acting, pull (spring return) ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 5mm 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 ATE80X5 is a single acting pull cylinder with spring return, so the spring extends the rod and air retracts it. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 2159.1 N of pull force, net of the spring, and at 0.7 MPa that rises to 3101.6 N.
The ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which helps it fit into tight machine frames and guarding. With a 5 mm stroke, it suits short indexing moves, and the fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact. The optional -S magnet is not fitted here, so CMSE or DMSE sensors cannot be mounted unless you order the -S version. For a real-world guide, plan for about 132 kg of safe vertical lift at 0.5 MPa, leaving a 2:1 margin over the rated pull.

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. |
| ×5 | Stroke length 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.
Use the ATE80X5 to pull a locating pin or clamp arm in a machining fixture, where the 5 mm stroke and 2159.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa secure a part during drilling or milling.
In a packaging line, this cylinder can retract a tab or flap guide with a short, firm pull, and the spring extends it back quickly for the next cycle at speeds up to 500 mm/s.
On a safety gate or access door, the ATE80X5 pulls a latch bolt clear, and the spring returns it to the locked position when air is removed, fitting into a compact guard frame.
Choose the ATE80X5 for a compact, short-stroke pull action where the spring returns the rod to its extended home position. It is not a load-holding brake, so do not rely on it to hold a mid-stroke position. For a lighter pull, the ATE50X25 offers 775.0 N at 0.5 MPa, while the ATE100X25 provides 3483.6 N at the same pressure. This model uses a 1/4" port and has a female M12x1.75 rod thread, and it can be mounted with FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, or FTC brackets.
Quick checklist
The ATE80X5 delivers 2159.1 N of pull at 0.5 MPa and 3101.6 N at 0.7 MPa, both net of the return spring. The minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa, and the proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
No, this model does not have a magnet, so no CMSE or DMSE sensor can be mounted. You must order the ATE80X5-S version to get the optional magnet for sensor feedback. The cylinder has a fixed TPU bumper at both ends for impact absorption.
