About the Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE100X15SB
This ASE100X15SB 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. With a 100 mm bore it delivers 3640.7 N of push at 0.5 MPa (net of the spring), which is enough to drive heavy clamps or press-fit pins in assembly fixtures.
The ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits inside tight guarding or under a worktable where a full-length unit will not. The optional -S magnet is fitted here, so you can add CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches to confirm rod position. As a rule of thumb, plan for about 2184 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 223 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety 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 ASE100X15SB Is Used
Press-fit pin insertion
Use the 3640.7 N push at 0.5 MPa to insert dowel pins into aluminum housings on an assembly line, with the spring return lifting the ram after each cycle.
Heavy clamp on a welding jig
Mount this cylinder on a welding fixture to clamp thick steel plates. The 100 mm bore provides strong holding force, and the compact body fits under the workbench.
Carton compression tester
In a packaging lab, use the cylinder to press down on corrugated boxes to check crush strength. The 15 mm stroke is enough for a quick test, and the spring retracts the platen automatically.
Is the Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE100X15SB the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 100 mm bore when you need high push force in a short envelope, such as a press or a heavy clamp. If your load is lighter, a 63 mm bore gives 1420.5 N at 0.5 MPa and saves more space, while a 50 mm bore gives 875.5 N for smaller fixtures. The spring return means the rod retracts on air loss, so it does not hold a mid-stroke position; use it for extend-and-return tasks. The male rod thread (B) suits direct coupling to a tool or clevis, and the 1/4" port matches standard shop air lines.
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 ASE100X15SB FAQ
The push force is 3640.7 N at 0.5 MPa and 5211.5 N at 0.7 MPa, both net of the return spring. Minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa, and the proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi). Speed range is 50-500 mm/s.
The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits inside machine guards or under conveyors. The fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and the optional -S magnet lets you add CMSE or DMSE sensors for position feedback.
