About the AirTAC ATE16
The AirTAC ATE16 is a single-acting, spring-return compact cylinder (pull type) with a 16 mm bore and an 8 mm piston rod. Compressed air retracts the rod and a built-in spring extends it when the air is released, so the rod rests extended; only one port takes air. Catalog output with the spring force already deducted is 53.3 N pull at 0.5 MPa and 83.5 N at 0.7 MPa. The spring stroke has no air behind it, so it must not carry a load.
All ATE16 versions share M5×0.8 air ports, an M4×0.7 rod thread and rubber bumpers at both ends. The cylinder runs on filtered air between 0.2 and 1.0 MPa (proof 1.5 MPa), from -20 to +70 °C, at 50 to 500 mm/s. This page lists 20 stock order codes with strokes from 5 to 25 mm; the catalog maximum stroke is 25 mm.

AirTAC catalog values for the single-acting pull type: air force on the bore minus the Ø8 mm rod less the return-spring force. The spring stroke delivers no rated force.

Where the ATE16 Is Used
Small pushers and stoppers
About 53.3 N at 0.5 MPa suits light pushers, stoppers, gates and ejectors.
Packaging and assembly
Compact strokes for feeders, diverters and assembly stations.
Sensed positioning
Magnet versions report stroke ends to the PLC through cylinder sensors.
Choosing the Right ATE16 Configuration
Start with the stroke. Pick the exact travel your machine needs; a longer stroke adds length, weight and air consumption without adding force. If your length is not listed, request a quote and we will confirm whether it can be built.
Every code on this page is the basic version without a mounting code: the cylinder is fixed through its own mounting holes.
Finally pick the version: S adds a magnet for position sensors; B gives a male threaded rod end instead of the standard female thread.
AirTAC ATE16 FAQ
Air retracts the rod with about 53.3 N at 0.5 MPa (catalog value, spring force deducted); the internal spring extends it when the port is vented. The force does not depend on the stroke code.
No. The return stroke is driven only by the internal spring, and AirTAC specifies that single-acting cylinders must not be loaded on it. Use a double-acting model if both directions must do work.
M5×0.8 ports.
Every code on this page is the basic version without a mounting code; the cylinder is fixed through its own mounting holes.
Usually yes. Request a quote with the stroke, mounting and version and we will confirm whether it can be built, plus price and lead time.
0.2 to 1.0 MPa operating pressure (proof 1.5 MPa) and -20 to +70 °C on filtered air.
No. You can order a single ATE16. Orders are processed and handed to the carrier within 3-5 business days.
