The AirTAC Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE50X10SB 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 ASE50X10SB 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 875.5 N of push force net of the spring, and at 0.7 MPa that rises to 1268.2 N, making it a solid choice for moderate clamping or pressing tasks.
Because the body follows ISO 21287, it is about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, letting it fit into tight machine frames and guarding. The optional -S magnet is fitted here, so you can attach CMSE or DMSE switches for position sensing. For a safe working load, plan on roughly 525 N (about 53 kg) of real work at 0.5 MPa, not the full rating, to keep a good 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.
| 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).

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 ASE50X10SB to clamp small parts in a drilling or milling jig, where the 875.5 N push at 0.5 MPa holds the workpiece firmly and the spring retracts the clamp automatically when air is released.
On a light conveyor line, this cylinder can act as a stop gate, extending to block a product for 10 mm and retracting via spring to let it pass, with the compact body fitting under the conveyor frame.
In a small bench press or assembly station, the ASE50X10SB provides a controlled 10 mm push to seat a bearing or insert, with the spring return clearing the tool quickly for the next cycle.
When sizing, compare this 50 mm bore with the 40 mm bore, which pushes 556.8 N at 0.5 MPa, or the 63 mm bore at 1420.5 N. If your application needs a lighter push, the 40 mm saves space and air; if you need more force, the 63 mm gives a clear step up. Remember this is single acting, so it only pushes on air and relies on the spring to retract - it will not hold a mid-stroke position if air is lost. The male rod thread (B code) simplifies mounting with rod-end accessories, and the 1/8" port suits 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 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 ASE50X10SB has a short body that saves about 50% of the mounting length compared to an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits in confined areas like machine guards or gantries. It uses a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb impact, and the optional -S magnet allows CMSE or DMSE sensors to be mounted for position feedback.
