About the Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE100X10B
This AirTAC ASE100X10B is a single acting push cylinder with spring return, so air extends the rod and the built-in spring pulls it back. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 3640.7 N of push force, already net of the return spring, making it a strong choice for short, forceful moves. The ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight machine frames where a full-length unit will not. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs impact, and the hard-anodized aluminium body with a hard-chrome S45C rod resists wear in dirty shop air.
For real work, plan on about 2184 N (roughly 0.6 times the 0.5 MPa rating) to keep a safety margin, which translates to lifting about 223 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety factor. The male rod thread (B code) simplifies mounting to a clevis or rod end. Since this unit has no -S code, there is no magnet fitted, so CMSE or DMSE sensors cannot be used on this exact model; order the -S option if you need position sensing.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø100mm)
| Pressure | Push force (spring return) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3640.7 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 5211.5 N |
Single-acting push: air extends the rod; the return spring 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 ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE100X10B Is Used
Heavy Clamping Jig
In a CNC fixture, this cylinder pushes a 100 mm bore clamp plate with 3640.7 N to hold a steel part during drilling. The short stroke and compact body fit under the worktable, and the spring retracts the clamp when air is released.
Press Pad for Assembly
On a small press, use it to press a bearing into a housing with a quick 10 mm push. The 5211.5 N at 0.7 MPa provides the force, and the fixed TPU bumper prevents metal-on-metal shock at the end of the stroke.
Ejector in Die Casting
In a die-casting machine, this cylinder ejects a cast part from the mold with a 10 mm forward stroke. The spring returns the ejector pin, and the compact body saves space behind the die plate, allowing a tighter machine layout.
Is the Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE100X10B the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 100 mm bore when you need high force in a compact envelope. It produces 3640.7 N at 0.5 MPa, far more than a 63 mm bore's 1420.5 N, so it suits heavy clamping or pressing tasks. The 10 mm stroke is short, so it is for precise, limited travel, not long transfers. The spring returns the rod to its retracted position on air loss, but it does not hold a mid-stroke position. If you need a powered return, consider the ACE double-acting version. Mounting options include FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, and FTC brackets, all matching the ISO 21287 face. The port is 1/4" PT, and the male rod thread is M12x1.75.
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 ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE100X10B FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 3640.7 N, and at 0.7 MPa it is 5211.5 N. These values are net of the return spring, so they are the actual force available to move a load. The minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa, and the maximum is 1.0 MPa (28-145 psi). The proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
No, this model has no -S code, so it does not include the optional magnet. Without the magnet, CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches cannot be fitted. If you need position sensing, order the ASE100X10SB version, which includes the magnet for sensor mounting. The cylinder has a fixed TPU bumper at both ends, not an adjustable cushion, and it operates at speeds from 50 to 500 mm/s.
