The AirTAC Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE80X5B is a genuine single acting, push (spring return) ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 5mm 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 ASE80X5B is a single acting push cylinder with spring return, so air extends the rod and the built-in spring pulls it back. With an 80 mm bore it delivers 2316.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa (net of the spring), yet the ISO 21287 short body takes up about 50% less mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, fitting into tight machine frames. The 5 mm stroke is short and fast, and the fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact without needing adjustment.
For real work, plan on about 1390 N (0.6 times the 0.5 MPa rating) to keep a safety margin, which equals lifting roughly 142 kg vertically with a 2:1 factor. The male rod thread (B code) simplifies direct coupling, and the hard-anodized aluminium body with a hard-chrome S45C rod resists wear in continuous cycling. Minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa to overcome the return spring, and the unit operates from -20 to +70 C.

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 80 mm bore and 5 mm stroke to clamp a workpiece against a fixture in a CNC milling station, with the spring retracting the clamp when air is released.
In a packaging line, this cylinder pushes a finished carton off a conveyor onto a chute, and the spring returns the rod for the next cycle, saving space beside the belt.
Mount it in a stamping press to strip a small part from a die after forming, using the 2316.2 N push at 0.5 MPa to overcome friction and the bumper to stop the rod cleanly.
This ASE80X5B suits short-stroke clamping or ejection tasks where a compact footprint matters. If you need less force, the ASE63X5 offers 1420.5 N at 0.5 MPa, while the ASE100X5 steps up to 3640.7 N for heavier pushes. Since it is single acting, the spring returns the rod to the retracted position on air loss, so it does not hold a mid-stroke position. The optional -S magnet is not fitted here, so no CMSE or DMSE sensors can be used; 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, both net of the return spring. The minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa, and the proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
Yes, it follows ISO 21287, so the body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It has a fixed TPU bumper at each end, and you can mount it with FA/FB flanges, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, or FTC brackets. This model has a male rod thread (B code) for direct attachment.
