The AirTAC Airtac ASE Single Acting Plunger Type Compact Air Cylinder ASE80X5SB 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 ASE80X5SB is a single acting push cylinder with spring return, so air extends the rod and the built-in spring pulls it back. It delivers 2316.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (net of the spring), which is enough to handle moderate clamping or pressing tasks in a compact envelope.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, letting you fit it into tight jigs and guarded cells. The optional -S magnet is fitted here, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can track the rod position. For a safe working load at 0.5 MPa, plan for about 1390 N of real work, which lifts roughly 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).

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 ASE80X5SB to clamp a workpiece in a CNC fixture. The 2316.2 N push at 0.5 MPa secures parts firmly, and the short stroke cycles quickly for load-unload operations.
In a small bench press, this cylinder provides a controlled 2316.2 N force at 0.5 MPa to press bearings into housings. The fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact, protecting the tooling.
On an assembly line, use the ASE80X5SB to insert pins or dowels into parts. Its compact body fits under a guard, and the optional -S magnet lets a sensor confirm each cycle.
For lighter duty, consider the ASE63X5 with 1420.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the ASE100X5 offers 3640.7 N if you need more force. This 80 mm bore with a 5 mm stroke suits short, repetitive motions where space is tight. The male rod thread (B code) simplifies coupling to fixtures, and the 1/4" port matches standard air lines. Since it is single acting, it returns by spring on air loss, so it does not hold a mid-stroke position.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 2316.2 N, and at 0.7 MPa it reaches 3321.5 N. These values are net of the return spring, so they are the usable forces. The minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa, and the proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The ISO 21287 body is about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into confined jigs and machine guards. It has a hard-anodized aluminium body and a fixed TPU bumper at both ends, which reduces noise and wear. The optional -S magnet enables CMSE or DMSE sensors for position feedback.
