Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE20X15B
The AirTAC Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE20X15B is a genuine single acting, push (spring return) ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 15mm 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 ASE20X15B
This AirTAC ASE20X15B is a single acting push cylinder with spring return, so air extends the rod and the spring pulls it back. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 127.4 N of push force, net of the spring, which suits light clamping and indexing tasks.
Its ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits inside tight machine guards and small jigs. The male rod thread (B code) lets you bolt on custom tooling directly, and the fixed TPU bumper at both ends softens the stop. A safe working load is about 76 N at 0.5 MPa, so plan for real work around that figure, not the full rating.

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 (Ø20mm)
| Pressure | Push force (spring return) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 127.4 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 190.2 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 ASE20X15B Is Used
Jig clamping
Use the 127.4 N push at 0.5 MPa to clamp small plastic parts in a drilling jig, with the spring return clearing the fixture automatically.
Label applicator
Drive a label tamp head with the 15 mm stroke to press labels onto boxes, relying on the fixed TPU bumper for a quiet stop.
Light guard interlock
Push a small safety gate latch into place; the spring retracts it when air is removed, keeping the mechanism fail-safe.
Is the Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE20X15B the Right Cylinder?
For a lighter push, the ASE16X15 offers 78.4 N at 0.5 MPa, while the ASE25X15 steps up to 210.1 N. Since this is single acting, the spring always returns the rod to its home position, so it does not hold a mid-stroke position on air loss. The optional -S magnet is not fitted here, so no CMSE or DMSE sensor can be used; order the -S code 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 ASE20X15B FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the push force is 127.4 N, and at 0.7 MPa it is 190.2 N, both net of the return spring. Minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa, maximum is 1.0 MPa (145 psi), and proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
No, this model has no magnet because the -S code was not ordered. To use CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches, you must order the ASE20X15SB version with the optional magnet. The compact ISO 21277 body has magnet slots for those sensors.
