The AirTAC Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE63X5SB 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 ASE63X5SB 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 1420.5 N of push force net of the spring, and at 0.7 MPa that rises to 2044 N, making it a strong choice for short-stroke clamping or pressing tasks.
The ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight machine frames and guarding where a full-length cylinder would not. The optional -S magnet is fitted here, so you can mount CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches for position sensing. For a safe working load, plan for about 853 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which is roughly 87 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 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 | 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 1420.5 N push at 0.5 MPa to clamp a workpiece in a CNC fixture, with the spring retracting the rod automatically when air is released.
In a packaging line, this cylinder can push a finished part off a conveyor onto a chute, using the 5 mm stroke for a quick, controlled nudge.
Actuate a small pneumatic valve or gate in an automated assembly station, relying on the 2044 N push at 0.7 MPa for reliable operation even with some backpressure.
For a lighter duty in the same compact format, consider the ASE50X25 with 875.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the ASE80X25 for 2316.2 N if you need more force. This 5 mm stroke is ideal for short travel applications like part ejection or valve actuation, but remember the spring returns the rod to the retracted position on air loss, so it cannot hold a mid-stroke position. The male rod thread (B code) simplifies mounting with rod-end accessories, and the 1/8" port suits standard air lines.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 1420.5 N, and at 0.7 MPa it is 2044 N, both net of the return spring. The minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring, and the maximum is 1.0 MPa (145 psi). The proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length compared to an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits in tight spaces. It has a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb impact, and the optional -S magnet allows CMSE or DMSE sensors to detect the rod position.
