The AirTAC Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE25X5B is a genuine single acting, push (spring return) ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 5mm 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 ASE25X5B is a single acting push cylinder with spring return, delivering a net push force of 210.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 308.3 N at 0.7 MPa. The 5 mm stroke is ideal for short, repetitive motions, and the male rod thread (B code) simplifies mounting.
Its ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, fitting into tight machine guards and fixtures. For a safe working load, plan for about 126 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting roughly 6 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and the hard-anodized aluminium body with S45C hard-chrome rod ensures durability.

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).

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 25 mm bore and 5 mm stroke to clamp small parts in a CNC fixture, with the spring return releasing the part when air is removed.
Drive a label applicator head for a quick 5 mm push onto products on a packaging line, relying on the spring to reset for the next cycle.
Actuate a small pneumatic valve or switch with a short, positive push, where the spring return ensures a fail-safe retracted state.
For a lighter duty, consider the ASE20X5 with a 127.4 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the ASE32X5 offers 352.5 N for heavier tasks. This 25 mm bore model balances force and size for compact automation. The spring retracts the rod on air loss, so it does not hold a mid-stroke position; ensure your circuit accounts for this. This version has no magnet, so CMSE or DMSE sensors are not compatible unless you order the optional -S magnet code.
Quick checklist
The ASE25X5B delivers a net push force of 210.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 308.3 N at 0.7 MPa, both figures 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 version does not include a magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches cannot be used. To enable sensor mounting, you must order the cylinder with the optional -S code, which adds the magnet for position detection.
