Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE32X5
The AirTAC Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE32X5 is a genuine single acting, push (spring return) ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 5mm 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.

About the Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE32X5
This AirTAC ASE32X5 is a single acting push cylinder with spring return, meaning air extends the rod and the built-in spring retracts it. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 352.5 N of push force (net of the spring), and at 0.7 MPa it reaches 513.4 N, so it suits light clamping and positioning tasks.
The ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which lets it fit into tight jigs and guards. As a practical rule, plan for about 21.6 kg of safe vertical lift at 0.5 MPa (352.5 N x 0.6 divided by 9.81), so you can match it to a real part weight with a 2:1 margin. The minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa, and the fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact.

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 ASE32X5 Is Used
Fixture Clamping
Use the ASE32X5 to clamp small parts in a CNC fixture. The 352.5 N push at 0.5 MPa holds a component firmly while the spring retracts the clamp for quick part changes.
Tight-Space Positioning
In a packaging line, this compact cylinder positions a guide rail or stop. Its short ISO 21287 body fits between conveyor frames where a longer cylinder would not, and the 5 mm stroke is enough for precise indexing.
Light Press Operation
For a small bench press or riveting tool, the ASE32X5 provides a controlled push. The fixed TPU bumper softens the end of stroke, protecting the tooling and the workpiece from impact.
Is the Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE32X5 the Right Cylinder?
For a lighter duty, the ASE25X5 offers 210.1 N at 0.5 MPa, while the ASE40X5 gives 556.8 N at the same pressure 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 load. The 1/8" port suits standard fittings, and the female M8x1.25 rod thread accepts a clevis or knuckle. This model has no magnet, so order the optional -S code if you plan to use CMSE or DMSE sensors.
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 ASE32X5 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 352.5 N, and at 0.7 MPa it is 513.4 N. These values are net of the return spring, so they are the usable forces. The operating pressure range is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
Yes, it is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder, about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which helps in tight spaces. However, this model has no magnet, so you cannot mount CMSE or DMSE sensors unless you order the optional -S code. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends handles end-of-stroke deceleration.
