The AirTAC Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE63X20B is a genuine single acting, push (spring return) ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 20mm 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 is a single acting push cylinder with spring return, so air extends the rod and the built-in spring retracts it, needing only one air line. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 1420.5 N of push force net of the spring, and at 0.7 MPa it reaches 2044 N, making it a strong choice for compact automation tasks.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight jigs and guarded cells where a full-length cylinder would not. For a safe working load, plan for about 852 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which is roughly 87 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 safety margin, so you can match it to actual part weights.

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 | 1420.5 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 2044.0 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).

|---|---|
| 63 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×20 | 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 the ASE63X20B to clamp small parts in a CNC fixture where the short body fits under a guard. The 1420.5 N push at 0.5 MPa holds a workpiece firmly, and the spring returns the clamp when air is released.
In a carton erecting machine, this cylinder pushes a tab into place with a 20 mm stroke. The compact build fits between conveyor rails, and the spring return resets the tabber for the next cycle at speeds up to 500 mm/s.
Mount the ASE63X20B behind a press die to eject a stamped part after forming. The 20 mm stroke clears the part, and the 1420.5 N force at 0.5 MPa is enough to push out even slightly stuck pieces, with the spring pulling the rod back.
If you need less force, the ASE50 with 875.5 N push at 0.5 MPa is a lighter option, while the ASE80 at 2316.2 N push at 0.5 MPa offers more headroom for heavier loads. Since this is single acting, the spring returns the rod to its home position on air loss, so it does not hold a mid-stroke position; use it for simple extend-and-return tasks. The male rod thread (B code) simplifies mounting with rod end accessories, and the 1/8" port matches standard fittings for this bore size.
Quick checklist
The ASE63X20B delivers 1420.5 N push at 0.5 MPa and 2044 N push at 0.7 MPa, 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 ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight jigs and guards. It uses a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb end-of-stroke energy, and the hard-anodized aluminium body with S45C hard-chrome rod ensures durability. This model has no magnet, so order the -S code if you need CMSE or DMSE sensors.
