Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE32X5B
The AirTAC Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE32X5B 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 ASE32X5B
This AirTAC ASE32X5B is a single acting push cylinder with spring return, meaning air extends the rod and a spring retracts it, so it needs just one air line and rests retracted. With a 32 mm bore it delivers 352.5 N of push 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 jigs and guards where a full-length cylinder will not. For a safe working load, plan for about 21.6 kg of real work at 0.5 MPa (0.6 times the 352.5 N rating), so a part up to roughly that weight can be pushed reliably. The fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and the hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod resists wear.

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 ASE32X5B Is Used
Fixture Clamping
Use the ASE32X5B to clamp small parts in a CNC fixture; the 5 mm stroke and 352.5 N push at 0.5 MPa hold components firmly during light machining, and the spring retracts the clamp automatically when air is removed.
Label Applicator
In a packaging line, this cylinder can drive a label applicator head forward 5 mm to press labels onto boxes. The compact body fits between guide rails, and the spring return resets the head for the next cycle.
Guard Door Interlock
Mount the ASE32X5B as a safety interlock pin on a machine guard. The 5 mm stroke extends a bolt to lock the guard closed, and the spring retracts it when the control signal is removed, ensuring the guard stays shut without power.
Is the Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE32X5B the Right Cylinder?
For a lighter duty, the ASE25X5 with a 25 mm bore gives 210.1 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the ASE40X5 with a 40 mm bore provides 556.8 N at the same pressure. 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. The male rod thread (B code) suits direct coupling, and the 1/8" port matches common small-bore fittings. This model has no magnet, so order the -S variant if you need CMSE or DMSE sensor feedback.
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 ASE32X5B FAQ
The ASE32X5B delivers 352.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa and 513.4 N at 0.7 MPa, 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 ISO 21287 compact body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight jigs, guards, and gantries. The fixed TPU bumper decelerates the rod at both ends, and the hard-anodized aluminium body with a hard-chrome rod ensures durability. This model has no magnet, so order the -S code to use CMSE or DMSE sensors.
