About the Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE40X10B
This AirTAC ASE40X10B is a single acting push cylinder with spring return, so air extends the rod and the built-in spring pulls it back. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 556.8 N of push force net of the spring, and at 0.7 MPa that rises to 808.1 N, making it a solid choice for light assembly tasks.
Its ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight machine guards and jigs where a full-length unit would not. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod resist wear, while the fixed TPU bumper at each end softens the stop. For a safe working load, plan on roughly 334 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which is about 34 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 safety 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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø40mm)
| Pressure | Push force (spring return) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 556.8 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 808.1 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 ASE40X10B Is Used
Jig Clamping
Use the ASE40X10B to clamp small parts in a CNC fixture. The 556.8 N push at 0.5 MPa holds components firmly, and the short stroke cycles quickly for high-volume production.
Label Applicator
In a packaging line, this cylinder can drive a label applicator head. The 10 mm stroke is ideal for pressing labels onto boxes, and the compact body fits between conveyor rails.
Guard Door Stop
Mount it as a mechanical stop on a machine guard door. The spring return retracts the rod when air is off, letting the door open, while the 808.1 N at 0.7 MPa holds the door closed during operation.
Is the Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE40X10B the Right Cylinder?
For a lighter duty, the ASE32X25 offers 352.5 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the ASE50X25 gives 875.5 N at the same pressure. This 40 mm bore with a 10 mm stroke suits short, repetitive pushes where space is limited. Remember, the spring returns the rod to its home position on air loss, so it does not hold a mid-stroke load. The male rod thread (B code) is ready for direct coupling, and you can add FA/FB flanges, LB foot, or CA/CB clevis mounts to fit standard fixtures.
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 ASE40X10B FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 556.8 N, and at 0.7 MPa it is 808.1 N. These figures are net of the return spring, so they are the usable forces. The minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa, and the proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The ASE40X10B has a short body that saves about 50% of the mounting length compared to an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. This lets you install it in tight spaces like inside a guard or under a worktable. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and the optional -S magnet (not fitted here) would allow CMSE or DMSE sensors if you order that version.
