The AirTAC Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE25X15 is a genuine single acting, push (spring return) ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm 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.
This AirTAC ASE25X15 is a single acting cylinder that pushes with air and retracts via a return spring, requiring only one air line. It delivers a net push force of 210.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 308.3 N at 0.7 MPa, with a minimum working pressure of 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring.
The ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, fitting into tight machine guarding and fixtures. The hard-anodized aluminum body with a hard-chrome plated S45C rod resists wear, while fixed TPU bumpers at both ends absorb end-of-stroke impact. For a safe working load, plan for roughly 126 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which equates to lifting about 13 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.
| 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).

|---|---|
| 25 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×15 | Stroke length in 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 in a manual assembly jig to clamp small plastic housings with a controlled 210 N force before screw driving, saving space in a compact work cell.
Drive a label tamp head on a packaging line with a 15 mm stroke to press labels onto product cartons, providing consistent pressure without excess bulk.
Actuate a safety guard latch on a small machine tool, using the spring return to automatically retract the latch when air is removed for safe access.
For lighter duty, the ASE20X15 offers 127.4 N at 0.5 MPa, while the ASE32X15 provides 352.5 N for more demanding applications. This 25 mm bore size suits medium-force operations where space is limited. Since this model lacks the optional -S magnet, it cannot accommodate CMSE or DMSE sensors; order the -S code if position sensing is required. The spring returns the rod to its home position on air loss and does not hold a mid-stroke position.
Quick checklist
The ASE25X15 provides a net push force of 210.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 308.3 N at 0.7 MPa, already accounting for the return spring. The minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa, and the proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
No, this model does not have a magnet, so CMSE or DMSE sensors cannot be used. To enable sensor mounting, you must order the ASE25X15S with the optional -S magnet. The cylinder uses a compact ISO 21287 body with fixed TPU bumpers for end-of-stroke deceleration.
