Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE100X5
The AirTAC Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE100X5 is a genuine single acting, push (spring return) ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 5mm 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.

About the Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE100X5
This AirTAC ASE100X5 is a single acting compact cylinder that pushes with 3640.7 N at 0.5 MPa, a force already net of its return spring. The spring retracts the 20 mm rod when air pressure drops below 0.2 MPa, making it a fail-safe choice for short, repetitive pushes.
The ISO 21287 body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it tucks into tight machine frames and guarding. Its hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod resist wear. With a 3640.7 N rating, a safe working load is about 2184 N, which translates to lifting 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 ASE100X5 Is Used
Die Stripping
Use the ASE100X5 to eject a stamped part from a die with a firm 3640.7 N push at 0.5 MPa, its short 5 mm stroke perfect for the limited clearance in a stamping press.
Carton Compression Test
In a packaging lab, this cylinder applies a consistent 3640.7 N force to a carton sample for a compression test, its compact body fitting inside a test frame where a longer cylinder would not.
Clamping Jig
Mount the ASE100X5 in a welding jig to clamp a heavy bracket with 3640.7 N of force. The spring retraction clears the part quickly, and the short body keeps the fixture compact.
Is the Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE100X5 the Right Cylinder?
For lighter indexing tasks, the ASE63 offers 1420.5 N at 0.5 MPa, while the ASE80 provides 2316.2 N. This ASE100X5 suits applications needing the highest force in the ASE line within a 5 mm stroke. Remember, the spring returns the rod to its home position on air loss; it does not hold a mid-stroke position. The 1/4" port delivers air efficiently for fast cycling.
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 ASE100X5 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 3640.7 N. At 0.7 MPa, it delivers 5211.5 N. These figures are net of the return spring. The minimum working pressure to overcome the spring is 0.2 MPa, and the maximum is 1.0 MPa (145 psi).
The ASE100X5's body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which lets you install it in confined spaces. It uses a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb impact. This model has no magnet, so to use CMSE or DMSE sensors, you must order the -S option.
