About the Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE100X15B
This AirTAC ASE100X15B 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 spring, and needs a minimum of 0.2 MPa to overcome spring resistance.
The ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, saving valuable space in tight fixtures. With a 100 mm bore and 15 mm stroke, it suits short-travel, high-force applications. For a safe vertical lift, plan for about 223 kg (0.6 times the 0.5 MPa force divided by 9.81), giving a 2:1 margin for real parts.

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 ASE100X15B Is Used
Press Fit Station
Use the 3640.7 N push at 0.5 MPa to press small bushings or bearings into housings on an assembly line, with the short stroke ensuring precise depth control.
Clamping Jig
In a packaging warehouse, clamp cartons or pallet components firmly during strapping or labeling. The spring return retracts the rod automatically when air is released, speeding up cycle times.
Test Rig Actuator
In a quality lab, apply a consistent 3640.7 N force to test the crush strength of small components. The compact body fits inside a guarded test chamber, and the fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact.
Is the Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE100X15B the Right Cylinder?
Choose this ASE100X15B for a compact, single-acting push action with a 15 mm stroke. If you need less force, consider the ASE80X25 with 2316.2 N at 0.5 MPa; for more, the ASE100X25 offers the same bore but a longer stroke. The male rod thread (B code) simplifies mounting with rod-end accessories. Since this model has no -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSE or DMSE sensors; order the -S version if you need position sensing.
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 ASE100X15B FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 3640.7 N; at 0.7 MPa, it is 5211.5 N. These are net of the return spring. The operating pressure range is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
No, this model has no -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches cannot be mounted. You would need to order the -S version to get the optional magnet for sensor detection. The body is ISO 21277 compact, about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and uses a fixed TPU bumper at both ends.
