The AirTAC Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE80X10 is a genuine single acting, push (spring return) ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 10mm stroke, 1/4" 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 ASE80X10 is a single acting push, spring-return cylinder built to the ISO 21287 compact standard. With an 80 mm bore and a 10 mm stroke, it delivers a net push force of 2316.2 N at 0.5 MPa, already accounting for the return spring. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, making it ideal for tight machine guarding and fixture designs where space is at a premium.
The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome plated rod ensure durability in repetitive cycles. For a safe working load at 0.5 MPa, plan for about 1390 N of real work, which translates to lifting roughly 142 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and the minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring.

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 | 2316.2 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 3321.5 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 ASE80X10 to clamp a workpiece in a CNC milling fixture. The 2316.2 N push at 0.5 MPa holds parts firmly, while the compact body fits under the spindle guard without extending beyond the machine envelope.
In a packaging line, this cylinder can push a filled carton off a conveyor onto a transfer chute. The 10 mm stroke is enough to nudge the box clear, and the spring return resets quickly for the next cycle at speeds up to 500 mm/s.
Mount the ASE80X10 on a sorting station to divert parcels to a secondary lane. The short stroke and high force ensure positive redirection, and the ISO 21287 face allows direct mounting to standard brackets in the conveyor frame.
When sizing, compare this 80 mm bore unit with the 63 mm bore ASE63X25, which offers 1420.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, or the 100 mm bore ASE100X25 at 3640.7 N. The 80 mm bore provides a strong middle-ground force for medium-duty applications. Note that this is a single-acting cylinder, so it does not hold a mid-stroke position on air loss; the spring returns the rod to its home position. The optional -S magnet is not fitted here, so CMSE or DMSE sensors cannot be mounted on this unit; order the -S code if you need position sensing.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 2316.2 N, and at 0.7 MPa it is 3321.5 N. These values are net of the return spring, so they represent the usable force at the rod. The minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa, and the proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The ASE80X10 has a short body that saves about 50% of the mounting length compared to an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. This allows it to fit into tight spaces like inside machine guards or on compact gantries. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and the hard-anodized aluminium body resists wear. Note that the magnet is optional; without the -S code, no sensor can be mounted.
