Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE50X5
The AirTAC Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE50X5 is a genuine single acting, push (spring return) ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 5mm 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 ASE50X5
This AirTAC ASE50X5 is a single acting push cylinder with spring return, so air extends the rod and the spring retracts it, needing only one air line. It delivers 875.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (net of the return spring), and the minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring.
Its ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, fitting tight machine guards and gantries. With a 5 mm stroke, it suits short indexing tasks, and the fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact. For a safe working load, plan for about 525 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 54 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

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 ASE50X5 Is Used
Jig Clamping
Use the ASE50X5 to clamp small parts in a CNC fixture, where the 875.5 N push at 0.5 MPa holds components firmly and the spring retracts the pin for quick part changes.
Label Applicator
In a packaging line, this cylinder extends a labeling head for a 5 mm press onto cartons, with the spring returning it after each cycle at speeds up to 500 mm/s.
Guard Interlock
Mount the ASE50X5 on a machine guard to push a locking bolt into place, using its compact body to fit within the guard frame and the spring to release when air is removed.
Is the Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE50X5 the Right Cylinder?
For a lighter push, the 40 mm bore ASE40X5 offers 556.8 N at 0.5 MPa, while this 50 mm bore gives 875.5 N for more demanding short strokes. The spring returns the rod to its home position on air loss, so it does not hold a mid-stroke position. Mounting options include FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, and FTC brackets, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE or DMSE sensors.
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 ASE50X5 FAQ
The ASE50X5 provides 875.5 N push at 0.5 MPa and 1268.2 N at 0.7 MPa, both net of the return spring. Operating pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), with proof pressure at 1.5 MPa (215 psi). Speed range is 50-500 mm/s.
This ASE50X5 has no magnet fitted, so no sensors can be mounted. To use CMSE or DMSE switches, order the -S code for the optional magnet. The cylinder's compact ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
