Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE16X10SB
The AirTAC Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE16X10SB is a genuine single acting, push (spring return) ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 10mm stroke, M5×0.8 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 ASE16X10SB
This AirTAC ASE16X10SB is a single acting push cylinder with spring return, so air extends the rod and the built-in spring pulls it back. It delivers 78.4 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, already net of the spring, and needs a minimum of 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring's resistance.
Its ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, letting it fit into tight machine guards and jigs. The optional -S magnet is fitted on this model, so CMSE or DMSE switches can be mounted for position sensing. For a safe vertical lift, plan for roughly 4.8 kg at 0.5 MPa, which is about 60% of the rated force to allow a 2:1 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 (Ø16mm)
| Pressure | Push force (spring return) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 78.4 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 118.6 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 ASE16X10SB Is Used
Tight Jig Clamping
Use it to clamp small parts in a CNC fixture where the 50% shorter body fits under a guard, and the 78.4 N force holds a lightweight workpiece during drilling.
Label Applicator
Drive a label tamp head in a packaging line with a 10 mm stroke, extending to press labels onto boxes and springing back for the next cycle.
Small Parts Ejector
Eject finished components from a press die or assembly nest, using the spring return to retract the rod and clear the next part.
Is the Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE16X10SB the Right Cylinder?
For lighter duty, the 12 mm bore ASE12X10 offers 40.0 N at 0.5 MPa, while this 16 mm bore steps up to 78.4 N. If you need more power, the 20 mm bore provides 127.4 N at the same pressure. The return spring retracts the rod on air loss, so it does not hold a mid-stroke position. With the male rod thread and M5x0.8 port, it suits compact fixtures where space is limited.
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 ASE16X10SB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 78.4 N, and at 0.7 MPa it is 118.6 N. These values are net of the return spring, so they are the usable forces to move a load. 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, so it fits into tight spaces. It has a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb impact, and with the -S magnet fitted, you can add CMSE or DMSE switches for position sensing.
