AirTAC SE Series ISO 15552 Cylinders
The AirTAC SE series is an ISO 15552 / VDMA 24562 standard profile cylinder spanning 32-125 mm bores, built for drop-in interchange and versatile factory automation.
inventory_22754 models availableSeries Overview
The AirTAC SE series is a double-acting, single-rod standard air cylinder built to the ISO 15552 / VDMA 24562 dimensional standard. It features a square extruded aluminum barrel without external tie rods, providing a clean profile while accepting standardized mounting brackets. The series spans 7 bores from 32 to 125 mm, with standard strokes reaching up to 1500 mm on the larger sizes (63-125 mm). Force output scales with bore size: push force at 0.5 MPa spans from 402 N on the 32 mm bore up to 6136 N on the 125 mm bore.
Shared design traits include adjustable pneumatic cushioning at both ends to decelerate the piston near stroke end. Note that this cushion only controls speed and does not hold the load; for held loads, the BSE rod lock variant is required. Standard operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa. Standard temperature is -20 to +70 C, which extends to 0-150 C when equipped with FKM/H high-temperature seals. Sensor grooves on three sides allow flexible mounting of CMSE/DMSE sensors when the -S magnet option is selected.
The SE serves as the base body for a full variant line-up. The SED adds a second rod for anti-rotation or higher load stability. The SEJ provides an adjustable stroke length. The BSE integrates a rod lock for mechanical holding, and the BSED combines the double-rod design with a rod lock. Ports range from PT1/8 on the 32 mm bore to PT1/2 on the 100 and 125 mm bores, with PT or G threading options.

Typical Applications
Package Sorting Diverter
Uses the 32 or 40 mm bore SE cylinder with TC or FTC mounting to push parcels on a conveyor. The adjustable pneumatic cushioning prevents end-of-stroke impact during high-cycle sorting operations.
Machine Tool Clamping
Employs an 80 to 125 mm bore cylinder to deliver high clamping force up to 6136 N at 0.5 MPa. The BSE rod lock variant is selected here to maintain clamp force mechanically if air pressure drops.
Vertical Lift Gate
Uses the SED double-rod variant for smooth vertical lifting without rod rotation. The double-rod design provides stable guidance for palletizing equipment and vertical material gates.
How to Choose the Right Model
Choose the bore size based on your required force class and available air pressure. The 32 and 40 mm bores suit light-duty 402 N to 500 N pick-and-place tasks at 0.5 MPa, while the 80 to 125 mm bores deliver over 2500 N for heavy pressing or lifting. Select the SED variant when you need higher lateral load capacity or anti-rotation without external guides, the SEJ when the exact stop position must be tuned in the field, and the BSE or BSED when gravity or external forces require a mechanical rod lock to hold position safely during an air loss event.
If your application requires a different ISO 15552 body style or specific bracket set not covered by the SE, consider the parallel AirTAC SAI line. When configuring an SE cylinder, confirm these five points: 1) bore size (32-125 mm), 2) required stroke length (up to 1000 mm for 32 mm bore, 1200 mm for 40-50 mm, 1500 mm for 63-125 mm), 3) port thread type and size (PT or G), 4) mounting style (Basic, LB, FA, FB, CA, CB, CR, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2), and 5) magnet option (-S) if position sensing is needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
The SE series spans 7 bores from 32 to 125 mm. Push force at 0.5 MPa ranges from 402 N on the 32 mm bore to 6136 N on the 125 mm bore. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa spans 82 kgf to 1252 kgf. Maximum standard stroke varies by bore: 1000 mm for 32 mm, 1200 mm for 40-50 mm, and 1500 mm for 63-125 mm.
The SE is the base single-rod, double-acting cylinder. The SED adds a second rod for higher lateral load capacity and anti-rotation. The SEJ offers adjustable stroke length for flexible positioning. The BSE integrates a mechanical rod lock to hold loads safely in place during pressure loss, and the BSED combines the double-rod design with the rod lock feature.
Yes. The SE series is built to the ISO 15552 / VDMA 24562 standard. Interchangeability is defined strictly by the ISO mounting-interface dimensions, meaning it accepts standard ISO brackets. The cylinder uses a square extruded aluminum barrel without external tie rods, maintaining the standard profile dimensions.
No. The adjustable pneumatic cushioning at both ends only decelerates the piston near the stroke end to prevent impact damage. It does not lock or hold the load. If load holding is required during an air loss event, you must use the BSE or BSED rod lock variant, or an external pilot check valve.
