About the Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE100X10S
This AirTAC ASE100X10S is a single acting push cylinder with spring return, so air extends the rod and the built-in spring pulls it back when pressure drops. Its 100 mm bore delivers a net push of 3640.7 N at 0.5 MPa and 5211.5 N at 0.7 MPa, already accounting for the spring force, and it needs at least 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring and start moving.
The ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight guarding and gantries where a full-length unit will not. With the optional -S magnet fitted, you can mount CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches for position sensing. For a safe working load, plan on roughly 2184 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which is about 223 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.

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.
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 ASE100X10S Is Used
Press Ram
Use the ASE100X10S as a short-stroke press ram in a stamping fixture, where the 3640.7 N push at 0.5 MPa drives a forming die and the spring lifts it clear after each cycle.
Conveyor Stop Gate
Mount this cylinder at a conveyor junction to raise a stop gate that blocks heavy cartons. The 10 mm stroke is enough to engage the stop, and the spring retracts it automatically when air is removed.
Clamping Unit
In a welding jig, the ASE100X10S clamps sheet metal panels with a firm 3640.7 N force at 0.5 MPa, holding parts steady during spot welding. The compact body fits between fixture rails without protruding.
Is the Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE100X10S the Right Cylinder?
For lighter duty, the ASE80X10S offers a 2316.2 N push at 0.5 MPa, while this ASE100X10S steps up to 3640.7 N. Since it is single acting, the spring returns the rod to the retracted position on air loss, but it does not hold a mid-stroke position. The 1/4" port suits standard shop air, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE or DMSE sensors for end-of-stroke detection.
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 ASE100X10S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the push force is 3640.7 N, and at 0.7 MPa it is 5211.5 N. Both values are net of the return spring, so they are the actual force available to extend the rod. The minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa, and the maximum is 1.0 MPa (145 psi).
The body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it saves valuable space in tight enclosures. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and the optional -S magnet lets you add CMSE or DMSE sensors for position feedback.
