The AirTAC Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE32X25S is a genuine single acting, push (spring return) ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 25mm 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 ASE32X25S is a single acting push cylinder with spring return, so air extends the rod and the built-in spring retracts it, needing only one air line. It delivers 352.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (net of the spring) and 513.4 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, so it fits into tight jigs and guards where a full-length cylinder will not. The optional -S magnet is fitted here, enabling CMSE or DMSE switches for position sensing, and the fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke energy. For a safe working load, plan for about 211 N (or roughly 22 kg) of real work at 0.5 MPa, not the full 352.5 N rating.

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 in a CNC fixture to clamp small parts with 352.5 N at 0.5 MPa, where the compact body fits under a workholding plate and the spring retracts the clamp when air is released.
Mount on a packaging line to stop lightweight cartons at a 25 mm stroke, with the spring returning the stop pin so products flow freely when the air signal drops.
Activate a safety interlock on a machine guard, where the 32 mm bore pushes a latch into place and the spring pulls it back, fitting in the narrow gap between guard and frame.
For lighter duty, the 25 mm bore ASE25X25 offers 210.1 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 40 mm bore ASE40X25 gives 556.8 N at 0.5 MPa if you need more force. Since this is single acting, the spring returns the rod to its home position on air loss, but it does not hold a mid-stroke position, so use it for simple extend-and-retract tasks. With the -S magnet, you can mount CMSE or DMSE switches, and the ISO 21287 face accepts FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, or FTC brackets for versatile installation.
Quick checklist
The push force is 352.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 513.4 N at 0.7 MPa, both net of the return spring. Minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa, proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and operating pressure range is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi). Speed range is 50-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits in tight jigs and guards. The fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and the optional -S magnet (fitted here) allows CMSE or DMSE switches for sensing. Mounting options include FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, and FTC brackets.
