The AirTAC Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE80X25BFA is a genuine single acting, push (spring return) ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 25mm 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 ASE80X25BFA is a single acting compact cylinder with spring return, extending on air and retracting via the built-in spring. It delivers 2316.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (net of the return spring), making it a strong choice for short-stroke clamping or pressing tasks in tight spaces.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into confined jigs and guards. With a 0.2 MPa minimum working pressure, it is easy to control, and the fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact. For a safe working load, plan for about 1390 N (around 142 kg) of real work at 0.5 MPa, not the full rating.

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. |
| ×25 | 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 ASE80X25BFA to clamp sheet metal panels in a welding jig, where the 2316.2 N push at 0.5 MPa holds parts firmly and the spring retract clears the workspace quickly.
In a small press-fit station, this cylinder can push a bushing into a housing with a controlled 25 mm stroke, relying on the TPU bumper to soften the end of the stroke and protect the part.
Mount the ASE80X25BFA as a stop gate on a packaging line, where its short body fits under the conveyor frame and the spring return lifts the gate to let products pass.
When sizing, compare this 80 mm bore to the 63 mm bore, which offers 1420.5 N at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the 100 mm bore for 3640.7 N at the same pressure. The 25 mm stroke is standard for this bore, and the male rod thread (B code) simplifies attachment of custom tooling. The FA flange mounting option is ordered, and the unit is supplied without a magnet, so CMSE or DMSE sensors are not compatible unless you order the optional -S magnet version.
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 is ordered without the magnet, so it cannot be used with CMSE or DMSE switches. To use sensors, you must order the version with the optional -S magnet. The cylinder has a fixed TPU bumper at both ends, not an adjustable cushion.
