The AirTAC Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE32X15SB 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. Its short compact envelope saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
This AirTAC ASE32X15SB is a single acting push cylinder with spring return, so air extends the rod and the built-in spring retracts it. With a 32 mm bore it delivers 352.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, net of the return spring, and 513.4 N at 0.7 MPa.
The ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which lets it fit into tight machine guards and compact jigs. The optional -S magnet is fitted on this model, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted for position sensing. For a safe working load at 0.5 MPa, plan for about 212 N of real work, which lifts roughly 22 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).

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 352.5 N push at 0.5 MPa to clamp small parts in a CNC fixture, where the short body fits between guide rails and the spring retract clears the part automatically.
Mount this cylinder to push a light safety guard door open on a packaging line, relying on the spring to close it when air is removed, with the optional -S magnet signaling the door position.
In an assembly station, extend the rod to eject a finished component from a nest, then let the spring retract it, using the 15 mm stroke for a quick, repeatable action.
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 that pushes 556.8 N at 0.5 MPa. The 15 mm stroke is within the 25 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a standard model. Remember, the spring returns the rod to its home position on air loss, so it does not hold a mid-stroke position. The male rod thread (B code) and 1/8" port make it easy to connect, and the ISO 21287 face accepts FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, and FTC brackets.
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 body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits in tight spaces. It has a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb impact, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE or DMSE sensors for position feedback.
