The AirTAC Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE32X10S is a genuine single acting, push (spring return) ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 10mm stroke, 1/8" 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 ASE32X10S is a single acting push cylinder with spring return, so air extends the rod and the spring retracts it, needing only one air line. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 352.5 N of push force net of the spring, which is enough for light clamping or positioning tasks in tight spaces.
The ISO 21287 compact body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, making it ideal for cramped jigs. The optional -S magnet is fitted here, so you can mount CMSE or DMSE switches for position sensing, and the fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact. For a safe working load, plan for about 211 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 21.6 kg vertically with 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.
| Pressure | Push force (spring return) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 352.5 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 513.4 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).

|---|---|
| 32 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×10 | 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 the ASE32X10S to clamp small parts against a stop in a CNC fixture, where the 352.5 N force holds components securely during drilling or milling.
In a packaging line, this cylinder can extend to press labels onto boxes, with the spring return resetting the applicator quickly for the next cycle.
Mount it as a stop on a conveyor to block a pallet momentarily; the 10 mm stroke is enough to engage a latch, and the compact body fits under the frame.
For a smaller option, the ASE25X10S offers 210.1 N at 0.5 MPa, while the ASE40X10S provides 556.8 N, so choose based on your force needs. This model has a 10 mm stroke, which is within the standard range, and the spring returns the rod to its home position on air loss, but it does not hold a mid-stroke position. Mounting options include FA/FB flanges, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, and FTC brackets, and the M8x1.25 female rod thread suits standard attachments.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 352.5 N, and at 0.7 MPa it is 513.4 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 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight spaces. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and the optional -S magnet allows CMSE or DMSE switches for sensing.
