The AirTAC Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE80X10B 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 ASE80X10B is a single acting push cylinder with spring return, so air extends the rod and the spring pulls it back. It delivers 2316.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, already net of the return spring, and needs a minimum of 0.2 MPa to overcome that spring.
The ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which lets it fit into tight jigs and guards. With a 10 mm stroke, it suits short indexing moves, and the hard-anodized aluminium body with hard-chrome S45C rod resists wear. For a safe working load, plan for about 1390 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, not the full rating, which translates to lifting about 142 kg vertically with a 2:1 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 | 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).

|---|---|
| 80 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×10 | 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 ASE80X10B to clamp a workpiece in a CNC fixture, where the 10 mm stroke is enough to secure a part and the spring return releases it when air is cut.
In a packaging line, this cylinder can push a tab or flap into place on a carton, with the short stroke and 2316.2 N force handling stiff cardboard without over-travel.
Mount the ASE80X10B on a machine guard to push a latch bolt into a receiver, using the spring return to retract the bolt when the guard needs to open.
When sizing, compare this 80 mm bore with a smaller 63 mm bore that pushes 1420.5 N at 0.5 MPa, or a larger 100 mm bore that pushes 3640.7 N. The ASE80X10B fits applications needing a compact, short-stroke push with a spring return, but it does not hold a mid-stroke position on air loss - the spring drives the rod home. The male rod thread (B code) simplifies mounting, and since this model has no -S code, there is no magnet for CMSE or DMSE sensors; order the -S version if you need them.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 2316.2 N, and at 0.7 MPa it is 3321.5 N, both net of the return spring. The minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa, and the proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
No, this model has no magnet because it lacks the -S code. To use CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches, you must order the ASE80X10SB version, which includes the optional magnet.
