The AirTAC Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE50X10B 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.
This AirTAC ASE50X10B is a single acting push cylinder with spring return, so air extends the rod and the return spring retracts it. It delivers 875.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, already net of the spring, and needs a minimum of 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring.
Its ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, letting it fit into tight jigs and guards. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod resist wear, and the fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact. For a 2:1 safety margin, plan to lift about 44 kg vertically with this unit at 0.5 MPa.

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 | 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).

|---|---|
| 50 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×10 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSE / DMSE sensors (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
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 in a jig to clamp a 40 kg component during drilling on a CNC machine, relying on the 875.5 N push to hold it firmly.
Drive a label head to press labels onto boxes on a packaging line, where the 10 mm stroke and spring return reset quickly for the next cycle.
Push a safety guard door open on a small assembly station, with the spring retracting the rod when air is removed for safe access.
For a lighter duty, the ASE40X10 offers 556.8 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the ASE63X10 gives 1420.5 N at the same pressure. Since this is single acting, the spring returns the rod to its retracted position on air loss, so it cannot hold a mid-stroke position. The male rod thread (B code) suits direct coupling, and the 1/8" port matches standard fittings.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 875.5 N, and at 0.7 MPa it is 1268.2 N, both net of the return spring. The operating pressure range is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The ISO 21287 body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into confined areas like machine guards. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs impact, and the optional -S magnet can be ordered for CMSE or DMSE sensors, but this unit has no magnet.
