The AirTAC Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE25X10S is a genuine single acting, push (spring return) ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm 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.
This AirTAC ASE25X10S is a single acting push cylinder with spring return, so air extends the rod and the built-in spring pulls it back. It delivers 210.1 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (net of the spring), which translates to a practical working load of about 126 N or roughly 13 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 safety margin.
The ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, making it ideal for tight spaces. The optional -S magnet is fitted on this model, enabling CMSE or DMSE reed switches for position sensing. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod resist wear, and the fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact.

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.
| Pressure | Push force (spring return) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 210.1 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 308.3 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).

| S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSE / DMSE sensors (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
ACE-family variants: ACE (double acting), ASE / ATE (single acting push / pull), ACED (double rod), ACEJ (adjustable stroke), TACE / TACED (non-rotating twin-guide yoke). Mounting accessories: FA / FB flange, LB foot, CA / CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, FTC; plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G.
Use the 210.1 N push to clamp small parts in a CNC fixture, with the spring retract clearing the work area when air is off.
Drive a label tamp head on a packaging line; the 10 mm stroke and compact body fit between guide rails, and the -S magnet confirms each cycle.
Activate a safety gate latch on a light machine; the spring return ensures the latch disengages on air loss, and the TPU bumper quiets operation.
For a lighter duty, the ASE20X10 offers 127.4 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the ASE32X25 gives 352.5 N for heavier pushes. Since this is single acting, the spring retracts the rod and does not hold a mid-stroke position; on air loss, it returns home. The M5x0.8 port suits small-bore piping, and the female M6x1.0 rod thread accepts standard clevis or knuckle fittings.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 210.1 N, and at 0.7 MPa it rises to 308.3 N, both net of the return spring. The minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa, and the proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits in confined jigs or under guards. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and the optional -S magnet on this model allows CMSE or DMSE sensors to detect rod position.
