Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE32X15B
The AirTAC Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE32X15B is a genuine single acting, push (spring return) ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 15mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body.

About the Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE32X15B
This ASE32X15B is a single acting push cylinder with spring return, so air extends the rod and the built-in spring pulls it back when pressure drops. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 352.5 N of push force net of the spring, and at 0.7 MPa that rises to 513.4 N, making it a solid choice for light assembly tasks.
Because the body follows ISO 21287, it is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder of the same bore, so it fits into tight jigs and guards where a full-length unit will not. The male rod thread (B code) lets you bolt on a coupler directly, and the hard-anodized aluminium body with S45C hard-chrome rod resists wear in repetitive cycles. For a safe working load, plan for about 211 N (roughly 21.5 kg) of real work at 0.5 MPa, not the full 352.5 N rating, so you keep a margin for friction and side loads.

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 (Ø32mm)
| 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).

Where the Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE32X15B Is Used
Jig Clamping
Use the 352.5 N push to clamp small workpieces in a drill jig, with the spring return releasing the part automatically when air is removed.
Light Pressing
Press a bushing into a plastic housing with a 15 mm stroke, relying on the fixed TPU bumper to absorb the end-of-stroke impact and protect the part.
Part Ejection
Eject a finished component from a die or fixture; the short stroke and spring return cycle quickly at speeds up to 500 mm/s for high-throughput lines.
Is the Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE32X15B the Right Cylinder?
When sizing, compare this 32 mm bore with a smaller 25 mm bore that pushes 210.1 N at 0.5 MPa, or a larger 40 mm bore at 556.8 N. The 15 mm stroke is short, so use it for clamping, pressing, or ejecting parts where travel is minimal and the spring return is enough to reset the mechanism. Since it is single acting, it cannot hold a mid-stroke position on air loss; the spring drives the rod home, so design your circuit with that in mind. This unit has no magnet, so if you need position sensing, order the -S version to fit CMSE or DMSE switches.
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 ASE32X15B FAQ
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). Operating pressure range is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi).
The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length compared to an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits in confined areas like machine guards or gantries. It uses a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb impact, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE or DMSE sensors for position feedback.
