This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ASE50X10SB, the same code under the new prefix. The ACE replacement is a current-production ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same bore, stroke and force class, with a matching short body and the same mounting-accessory family, so it fits the same envelope. Confirm mounting-interface dimensions against the ACE datasheet before ordering.
Airtac ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP50X10SB
The AirTAC ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP50X10SB is a single acting, push (spring return) DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 10mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ASE50X10SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP50X10SB
A single acting push cylinder with spring return, the ASP50X10SB extends its 16 mm rod with air and retracts it by spring, so one air line is all the plumbing needs. At the 50 mm bore it delivers 875.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa and 1268.2 N at 0.7 MPa, both figures already net of the return spring. The 10 mm stroke sits well inside the 250 mm standard range for this bore, so it is a catalog item, not a made-to-order build.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is a short ISO 21287-style compact build that saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it drops into tight jigs and guarding where a full-length body will not fit. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends to soften end-of-travel contact. The S code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clamped on for end-of-stroke detection, and the B code gives a male rod thread. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production replacement is the ASE50X10, same bore, stroke and force class, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ASE50X10SB (ISO 21287) carries the same bore/stroke/force class; confirm mounting-interface dimensions against the ACE datasheet before installation. Rod type: female thread (blank) or male thread (B). Thread options: PT (blank) / G.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø50mm)
| Pressure | Push force (spring return) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 875.5 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1268.2 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.

Where the Airtac ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP50X10SB Is Used
Bottle-capping press head
The 10 mm stroke and 875.5 N push at 0.5 MPa seat a snap cap on a 40 ml cosmetic bottle in one short hit, and the spring retracts the head instantly when the air vents.
Reject gate on a filling line
With the fitted -S magnet and a DMSE switch, the PLC confirms the 16 mm rod has kicked a dented can off a conveyor lane; the spring return clears the lane on every air-off cycle.
Bracket clamp in a welding jig
About 525 N of usable clamp force at 0.5 MPa holds a steel bracket against the fixture pins, and the short compact body fits between the jig plates where a full-length body cannot.
Replacing the Airtac ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP50X10SB with the ASE50X10SB
Size the job both ways before ordering. If 875.5 N at 0.5 MPa is more than the task needs, the 40 mm bore gives 556.8 N; if the load is heavier, step up to the 63 mm bore for 1420.5 N at the same pressure. Remember the spring drives the rod home on air loss, so the cylinder retracts to its rest position and will not hold a mid-stroke load. The male rod thread suits I or Y knuckles, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA/CB clevis brackets bolt to the standard face. Order CMSE or DMSE switches only because this unit carries the -S magnet. Since ASP50X10SB is discontinued, order the ASE50X10 as the current direct and verify the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions first.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ASE50X10SB
- ✓ Same bore / stroke / force class
- ✓ Confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Add -S for magnet if you need sensors
Airtac ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP50X10SB FAQ
Push force is 875.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 1268.2 N at 0.7 MPa, both already net of the return spring. The cylinder is single acting push: air extends the 16 mm rod and the spring retracts it. Minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa to beat the spring, the range is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof, speed 50-500 mm/s, and the air must be filtered to 40 um. On air loss the spring returns the rod to rest; it does not hold a mid-stroke position.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is a short ISO 21287-style compact build, about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits tight jigs and guards. The S code means the optional -S magnet is fitted on this model, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly for stroke detection. The B code gives a male rod thread, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA/CB clevis brackets bolt to the standard face. This model is discontinued; the ASE50X10 is the current direct, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
