The AirTAC Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE63X5 is a genuine single acting, push (spring return) ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm 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.
This AirTAC ASE63X5 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. It delivers 1420.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, net of the return spring, and needs a minimum working pressure of 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring.
Its ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight jigs and guards where a full-length unit will not. With a 5 mm stroke, this model suits short indexing moves; the fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and the hard-anodized aluminium body with a hard-chrome S45C rod resists wear in repetitive cycles.

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).

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 ASE63X5 to clamp a small part against a stop in a CNC fixture. The 1420.5 N push at 0.5 MPa holds the workpiece firmly, and the spring retract clears the area for loading.
In a packaging line, this cylinder can push a label applicator head forward for a 5 mm press cycle. The compact body fits under a conveyor guard, and the spring return resets the head after each cycle.
Mount the ASE63X5 behind an ejector pin in a small die or mold. The 5 mm stroke pushes the pin out to release a formed part, and the spring retracts the pin before the next cycle.
For a lighter duty, the ASE50X5 offers 875.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the ASE80X5 steps up to 2316.2 N if you need more force. Since this is single acting, the spring retracts the rod on air loss, but it does not hold a mid-stroke position; plan for the rod to return to its home position when pressure is removed. The 1/8" port suits standard fittings, and this version has no magnet, so order the optional -S code if you need CMSE or DMSE sensor feedback.
Quick checklist
The ASE63X5 provides 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).
This ASE63X5 has no magnet, so no sensor can be mounted directly. To use CMSE or DMSE switches, you must order the optional -S code, which adds a magnet to the piston. Without -S, the cylinder is sensor-less.
