The AirTAC Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE80X15 is a genuine single acting, push (spring return) ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 15mm 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 ASE80X15 is a single acting push cylinder with spring return, meaning air extends the rod and a built-in spring pulls it back when pressure drops. It delivers 2316.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, net of the return spring, so you can size it for real work without derating.
Its ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which lets it fit into tight jigs and guards where a full-length cylinder won't. At 0.5 MPa, a safe working rule is about 1390 N, which translates to lifting roughly 142 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin, so you can match it to a specific part weight. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod resist 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 | 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).
| ASE | ISO 21287 compact cylinder (single-acting push, spring-return). |
|---|---|
| 80 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×15 | 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 2316.2 N push at 0.5 MPa to clamp a steel bracket in a CNC milling fixture, with the spring retracting the clamp when the cycle ends. The short body fits under a low guard.
In a carton erecting line, this cylinder pushes a folded box out of a forming station with a 15 mm stroke. The fixed TPU bumper absorbs the impact at both ends, reducing noise in a high-cycle environment.
Mount this cylinder on a conveyor sortation gate to divert a parcel weighing up to 140 kg. The compact body saves space between rollers, and the spring return resets the gate automatically.
For a lighter duty, the ASE63X25 offers 1420.5 N at 0.5 MPa, while the ASE100X25 steps up to 3640.7 N if you need more force. This 80 mm bore with a 15 mm stroke suits short, high-force pushes where space is limited. Remember, the spring returns the rod to its home position on air loss, so it does not hold a mid-stroke load. The port is 1/4" PT, and the rod end is female M12x1.75. Since this model has no -S code, there is no magnet for sensors; order the -S version to use CMSE or DMSE switches.
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 maximum is 1.0 MPa (28-145 psi). The proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
No, this model has no magnet, so no CMSE or DMSE switch can detect the piston position. You must order the ASE80X15S version to get the optional magnet for sensor mounting. The cylinder uses a fixed TPU bumper at both ends, not an adjustable cushion, and operates at speeds from 50 to 500 mm/s.
