The AirTAC Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE50X25SB is a genuine single acting, push (spring return) ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 25mm 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 ASE50X25SB is a single acting push, spring-return compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, with a 50 mm bore and 25 mm stroke. It delivers a net push force of 875.5 N at 0.5 MPa, already accounting for the return spring, and the hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, saving valuable space in tight fixtures.
For a safe working load at 0.5 MPa, plan for about 525 N of real work, which translates to lifting roughly 54 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The male rod thread (B code) and the fitted optional -S magnet for CMSE or DMSE switches make it ready for position sensing, while the fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke energy.

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 875.5 N push at 0.5 MPa to clamp a workpiece in a CNC milling fixture, where the compact body fits under a guard and the spring retract clears the part automatically.
In a packaging line, this cylinder pushes a finished carton off a conveyor onto a chute, with the 25 mm stroke providing enough travel and the spring return resetting for the next cycle.
Actuate a small safety gate on a machine guard, where the short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length compared to a profile cylinder, and the spring retract keeps the gate closed when air is off.
When sizing, compare this 50 mm bore with a 40 mm bore that pushes 556.8 N at 0.5 MPa, or a 63 mm bore that pushes 1420.5 N. The 50 mm bore suits medium-duty applications where the 40 mm is underpowered but the 63 mm is oversized. Remember this is single acting, so the spring retracts the rod and it does not hold a mid-stroke position on air loss. The optional -S magnet is fitted here, so you can mount CMSE or DMSE sensors for position feedback.
Quick checklist
The ASE50X25SB delivers a net push force of 875.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 1268.2 N at 0.7 MPa, with these values already accounting for the return spring. The minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa, and the proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits in tight spaces like machine guards or gantries. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and the optional -S magnet allows CMSE or DMSE switches for position sensing.
