The AirTAC Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE100X10SB is a genuine single acting, push (spring return) ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 10mm 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 ASE100X10SB is a single acting push cylinder with spring return, meaning air extends the rod and the built-in spring retracts it, so it needs only one air line and returns to home on air loss. With a 100 mm bore, it delivers 3640.7 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (net of the spring) and 5211.5 N at 0.7 MPa, making it the strongest in the ASE compact family.
Built to ISO 21287, its hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight machine frames and guards where a full-length cylinder won't. The optional -S magnet is fitted here, enabling CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches for position sensing, and the fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact without adjustment.

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 | 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).

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 3640.7 N push at 0.5 MPa to eject stamped parts from a die in a press, where the spring return lifts the ejector pin clear after each cycle.
In a conveyor line, this cylinder extends a stop pin to hold a loaded pallet, then spring-retracts to let it pass, with the compact body fitting under the conveyor frame.
Clamp a heavy steel bracket in a robotic welding cell with the 5211.5 N push at 0.7 MPa, and rely on the spring to release the part when air is removed.
For lighter duty in the same compact footprint, the ASE80X10 offers 2316.2 N at 0.5 MPa, while this 100 mm bore steps up to 3640.7 N for heavier pushes. Since it is single acting, the spring retracts the rod but does not hold a mid-stroke position, so plan for full extension or full retraction only. The male rod thread (B code) and 1/4" PT port suit direct mounting of tooling, and the ISO 21287 face accepts FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, or SDB pivot brackets.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the push force is 3640.7 N, and at 0.7 MPa it is 5211.5 N, both net of the return spring. The minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa, and the proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it saves mounting length in tight spaces. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and the optional -S magnet (fitted here) allows CMSE or DMSE sensors to detect rod position.
