The AirTAC Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE32X5SB 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.
This AirTAC ASE32X5SB is a single acting push cylinder with a spring return, so air extends the rod and the spring retracts it, needing only one air line. With a 32 mm bore, it delivers 352.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa and 513.4 N at 0.7 MPa, already net of the return spring, and requires a minimum of 0.2 MPa to overcome that spring.
The ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, making it ideal for tight fixtures. The optional -S magnet is fitted here, so CMSE or DMSE switches can be mounted for position sensing. For a safe working load, plan on about 21.5 kg of vertical lift at 0.5 MPa, using a 2:1 margin on the 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 the 5 mm stroke to clamp small parts in a CNC fixture, where the 352.5 N push holds components firmly during machining.
Actuate a small pneumatic valve or gate in a packaging line, relying on the spring return to reset the position quickly after each cycle.
Eject molded plastic parts from a die with a short, controlled push, using the compact body to fit inside the tool's limited space.
For a lighter duty, the 25 mm bore ASE25X5 offers 210.1 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 40 mm bore gives 556.8 N at the same pressure. This 5 mm stroke is short, so it suits quick, precise movements rather than long travel. The male rod thread (B) simplifies mounting with rod-end accessories, and the 1/8" port matches standard fittings for this bore size.
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).
Yes, the S in the model code indicates the optional -S magnet is fitted, so you can mount CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches. Without the -S code, no magnet is present.
