Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE50X10
The AirTAC Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE50X10 is a genuine single acting, push (spring return) ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm 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 ASE50X10
This AirTAC ASE50X10 is a single acting push cylinder with spring return, delivering 875.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and 1268.2 N at 0.7 MPa, both net of the return spring. Its compact ISO 21287 body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, making it ideal for tight automation spaces.
The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod resist wear, while the fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact. With a 10 mm stroke and 1/8" port, this unit is built for short, repetitive pushes. For a safe working load, plan for about 525 N (roughly 54 kg) of real work at 0.5 MPa, not the full rating, to account for friction and dynamic loads.

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 (Ø50mm)
| Pressure | Push force (spring return) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 875.5 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1268.2 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 ASE50X10 Is Used
Jig Clamping
Use the ASE50X10 to clamp small parts in a CNC fixture. The 875.5 N push at 0.5 MPa holds components firmly during drilling, and the spring return clears the workspace quickly for the next cycle.
Carton Ejection
In a packaging line, this cylinder pushes finished cartons off a conveyor onto a chute. The 10 mm stroke is enough to nudge the product, and the compact body fits under the guard rail without protruding.
Valve Actuation
Actuate a small pneumatic valve or a limit switch in a control panel. The ASE50X10 provides reliable, repeatable pushes at speeds up to 500 mm/s, and its fixed TPU bumper prevents over-travel damage.
Is the Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE50X10 the Right Cylinder?
For lighter duty, consider the ASE40X10 with 556.8 N push at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the ASE63X10 for 1420.5 N. The 50 mm bore offers a balance of force and compactness, but remember this is a single acting cylinder - it retracts via spring, so it does not hold a mid-stroke position on air loss. The optional -S magnet is not fitted here, so no CMSE or DMSE sensors can be mounted without ordering that code. Mounting options include FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, and FTC brackets, all compatible with the ISO 21287 face.
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 ASE50X10 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 875.5 N; at 0.7 MPa, it is 1268.2 N. These 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 ASE50X10 follows ISO 21287, which saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It has a fixed TPU bumper at both ends, not an adjustable cushion. To use CMSE or DMSE sensors, you must order the -S option for the built-in magnet; this model has no magnet, so sensors cannot be mounted.
