About the Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE100X15S
This AirTAC ASE100X15S is a single acting push cylinder with spring return, meaning air extends the rod and the built-in spring retracts it. With a 100 mm bore, it delivers 3640.7 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (net of the spring), making it a strong choice for high-force applications in a compact envelope.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length compared to an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight machine frames and guarded areas. The optional -S magnet is fitted here, enabling CMSE or DMSE switches for position sensing. For a safe vertical lift, plan for about 223 kg at 0.5 MPa (using a 0.6 derating factor), which helps you match real part weights.

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 ASE100X15S Is Used
Heavy Clamping Fixture
Use in a jig to clamp large metal parts during CNC machining, leveraging the 3640.7 N push to hold workpieces securely.
Press Operation
In a small press, this cylinder can push a die or stamp with 5211.5 N at 0.7 MPa, suitable for forming thin sheet metal components.
Automated Assembly
Mount on a gantry to insert bearings or bushings into housings, relying on the compact body to fit within tight assembly cell envelopes.
Is the Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE100X15S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing, compare this 100 mm bore with the 63 mm bore, which offers 1420.5 N at 0.5 MPa. The ASE100X15S provides over 2.5 times that force, suitable for heavier clamping or pressing tasks. Remember, this is single acting, so the spring returns the rod; it does not hold a mid-stroke position on air loss. For mounting, use FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, or FTC brackets, and choose the optional -S magnet for sensor feedback.
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 ASE100X15S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 3640.7 N, and at 0.7 MPa, it is 5211.5 N. These figures are net of the return spring. The minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa, and the maximum is 1.0 MPa (28-145 psi).
The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length compared to an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, allowing installation in tight spaces. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE or DMSE switches for position sensing.
