This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ASE50X5S, 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 ASP50X5S
The AirTAC ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP50X5S is a single acting, push (spring return) DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 5mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ASE50X5S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP50X5S
A single acting push cylinder with spring return, the ASP50X5S extends its 16 mm rod with compressed air and lets the internal spring pull it back home - one air line is all the plumbing takes. At the short 5 mm stroke, it delivers 875.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa (1268.2 N at 0.7 MPa), both figures already net of the return spring, and it starts moving from just 0.2 MPa. The S in the code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke signalling.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why this bore class slots into tight jigs and guard-locked stations. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is the ASE50X5, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before you swap.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ASE50X5S (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.
Model Code: Airtac ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP50X5S
| ASP | DIN compact cylinder (single-acting push, spring-return, discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 50 | Bore size in mm. |

Replacement mapping (swap P for E): ACP→ACE, ASP→ASE, ATP→ATE, ACPD→ACED, ACPJ→ACEJ. ACP-family: ACP (double acting), ASP / ATP (single acting push / pull), ACPD (double rod), ACPJ (double rod, adjustable stroke).
Where the Airtac ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP50X5S Is Used
Carton eject pin
A 5 mm jab with 875.5 N at 0.5 MPa nudges a formed carton off a forming shoe on a packaging line, and the spring retracts the pin the instant air drops.
CNC fixture clamp
Clamps a machined aluminium blank against a hardened stop inside a compact fixture body where a full-length cylinder simply has no room.
Small-part push-off
Kicks caps or bushings off a conveyor edge into a chute; about 45 kg of vertical-lift equivalent means even dense steel parts move cleanly.
Replacing the Airtac ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP50X5S with the ASE50X5S
Compare against neighbours in the same force band: the ASP40X5S gives 556.8 N at 0.5 MPa if your load is lighter, while the ASP63X5S reaches 1420.5 N when you need more margin at the same short stroke. Remember the spring drives the rod fully back on air loss, so this unit cannot hold a mid-stroke position. Mounting brackets and the fitted magnet with CMSE / DMSE switches should be matched to the ASE50X5 you will standardize on, since the ASP50X5S is discontinued.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ASE50X5S
- ✓ 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 ASP50X5S FAQ
Push is 875.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 1268.2 N at 0.7 MPa, both already net of the return spring. Working pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof, air filtered to 40 um, speed 50-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, and a 1/8" port on the 50 mm bore. The rod is 16 mm with a female M10x1.5 thread.
Order the ASE50X5, the current ISO 21287 successor: swap the P for an E and you keep the same 50 mm bore, 5 mm stroke and force class. Before swapping, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture, since this ASP was built to a DIN-standard compact pattern. The fixed TPU bumpers at both ends and the optional -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches carry over in the same spirit.
