About the Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE100X15
This AirTAC ASE100X15 is a single acting push cylinder with spring return, so air extends the rod and the built-in spring retracts it. It delivers 3640.7 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, net of the return spring, and 5211.5 N at 0.7 MPa, making it a powerful choice for compact automation. The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, fitting into tight machine frames and guarding where a full-length cylinder would not. For real work, plan for roughly 2184 N at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting about 223 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin, so you can match it to actual part weights.
The 100 mm bore uses a 1/4" port and a female M12x1.75 rod thread, with a hard-anodized aluminium body and an S45C hard-chrome plated rod for wear resistance. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and the minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring. This model has no magnet fitted, so sensor mounting is not possible unless you order the optional -S code for CMSE or DMSE switches.

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 ASE100X15 Is Used
Press ram for small parts
Use the 3640.7 N push at 0.5 MPa to drive a press ram for stamping small metal brackets or inserting bushings in a benchtop assembly fixture, where the short body fits under a guard.
Lifting a light platen
With a safe lift of about 223 kg vertically, this cylinder can raise a platen or a small die in a packaging machine, providing a controlled extend motion and spring return for cycle end.
Clamping in a jig
Mount it with an LB foot bracket to clamp a workpiece in a drilling jig, using the spring return to release the part automatically when air is removed, ideal for high-cycle manual stations.
Is the Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE100X15 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing, compare this 100 mm bore unit with the 80 mm bore version, which pushes 2316.2 N at 0.5 MPa, so the 100 mm bore gives you about 57% more force for heavier loads. The 15 mm stroke is short, so it suits applications needing a quick, compact extend motion rather than long travel. 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, so do not use it as a load-holding brake. Mounting options include FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, and FTC brackets, which bolt directly to the ISO 21287 face, and you can order the -S magnet for sensor feedback if needed.
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 ASE100X15 FAQ
The ASE100X15 delivers 3640.7 N push force at 0.5 MPa and 5211.5 N at 0.7 MPa, both net of the return spring. The minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa, operating range is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), and proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
This ASE100X15 has no magnet fitted, so you cannot mount CMSE or DMSE switches directly. To use sensors, you must order the cylinder with the optional -S code, which adds a built-in magnet for reed or solid-state switch detection.
