Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE40X10SB
The AirTAC Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE40X10SB is a genuine single acting, push (spring return) ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 10mm 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 ASE40X10SB
This AirTAC ASE40X10SB is a single acting push cylinder with spring return, so air extends the rod and the built-in spring pulls it back when pressure drops. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 556.8 N of push force already net of the spring, and at 0.7 MPa that rises to 808.1 N, making it a solid choice for light assembly tasks.
The ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits inside tight machine guards and small jigs. The optional -S magnet is fitted here, meaning CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted for position sensing. As a buyer insight, plan for about 334 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa, which is roughly 34 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 safety margin.

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 ASE40X10SB Is Used
Fixture Clamping
Use the 556.8 N push at 0.5 MPa to clamp small parts in a CNC fixture, where the short 10 mm stroke and compact body fit under a workholding plate.
Label Applicator
Drive a label tamp head with the 40 mm bore and 10 mm stroke to press labels onto boxes, relying on the spring return to lift the head between cycles.
Guard Interlock
Activate a safety gate latch with the 808.1 N push at 0.7 MPa, using the compact body to fit inside a machine enclosure and the optional -S magnet for position confirmation.
Is the Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE40X10SB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing, compare this 40 mm bore with the 32 mm bore that pushes 352.5 N at 0.5 MPa for lighter jobs, or step up to the 50 mm bore at 875.5 N for heavier work. The 10 mm stroke is short, so it suits compact indexing or clamping actions rather than long travel. Remember the spring retracts the rod to home on air loss, so it does not hold a mid-stroke position. With the -S magnet and male rod thread, this model is ready for sensor feedback and direct coupling to a load.
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 ASE40X10SB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the push force is 556.8 N, and at 0.7 MPa it is 808.1 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). Operating pressure range is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi).
The body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits in confined areas like machine guards and small jigs. It has a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb impact, and the optional -S magnet allows CMSE or DMSE switches for sensing.
