The AirTAC Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE80X5SB 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 ATE80X5SB is a single acting pull cylinder with spring return, so the spring extends the rod and air retracts it, giving a net pull of 2159.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 3101.6 N at 0.7 MPa. Its ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, saving valuable space in tight automation cells and gantries.
The 80 mm bore uses a 1/4" port and a 20 mm hard-chrome plated S45C rod with a male thread, and the optional -S magnet is fitted for CMSE or DMSE switches. With a fixed TPU bumper at both ends, it handles speeds from 50 to 500 mm/s, and at 0.5 MPa you can safely plan for about 132 kg of vertical lift, so it suits light pick-and-place tasks where a compact stroke is enough.

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 ATE80X5SB to retract a locating pin in a CNC fixture, where the spring extends the pin to hold a part and air pulls it back for loading. The 5 mm stroke matches thin workpieces, and the 2159.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa clears even slightly stuck pins.
Mount this cylinder on a packaging line to pull a stop gate down and let a carton pass. The compact ISO 21287 body fits under the conveyor frame, and the spring returns the gate to block the next item, with the fixed TPU bumper absorbing the impact.
In an automated inspection station, the ATE80X5SB can retract a probe or sensor head after a measurement. The optional -S magnet lets you add a CMSE switch to confirm the retracted position, and the 5 mm stroke provides a quick, repeatable motion.
For an 80 mm bore, this ATE80X5SB delivers a net pull of 2159.1 N at 0.5 MPa, which is ideal for short-stroke retract actions. If you need more force, step up to the 100 mm bore with 3483.6 N at 0.5 MPa, or drop to the 63 mm bore with 1320.0 N if space is tighter. Remember, the spring returns the rod to its extended home position on air loss, so it does not hold a mid-stroke position, and the minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring. With the -S magnet fitted, you can mount CMSE or DMSE switches for position sensing, and the male rod thread (B) simplifies attachment of rod-end accessories.
Quick checklist
The ATE80X5SB delivers a net pull of 2159.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 3101.6 N at 0.7 MPa, with the spring force already subtracted. The minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa, and the proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi). It operates at speeds from 50 to 500 mm/s and uses a 1/4" port.
The ATE80X5SB has a hard-anodized aluminium body that is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits in tight spaces like guard panels or gantries. It includes a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb end-of-stroke energy, and the optional -S magnet allows CMSE or DMSE switches for position feedback.
