About the Airtac SE100 Standard Air Cylinder SE100BX50
The AirTAC SE100BX50 is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty pneumatic actuation. It delivers a substantial 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa alongside a 3681 N pull force, making it well-suited for high-thrust industrial operations. This specific SKU features a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod (code B), providing superior corrosion resistance for washdown or chemically exposed environments.
Unlike traditional tie-rod designs, its extruded aluminum barrel lacks external tie rods, yielding a compact, flush-mounting footprint that simplifies machine integration. The cylinder incorporates field-adjustable air cushioning at both stroke ends, allowing technicians to fine-tune end-of-travel deceleration via a set screw to minimize mechanical shock during high-speed operations.

Where the Airtac SE100 Standard Air Cylinder SE100BX50 Is Used
CNC Pallet Clamping
Provides the 3927 N push force required to secure heavy machining pallets on multi-station CNC rotary tables, while the SUS304 rod resists cutting fluid splash.
Heavy Carton Sealing
Drives the sealing head on high-speed corrugated box formers, utilizing its 50 mm stroke and adjustable pneumatic cushions to arrest motion smoothly at cycle rates up to 800 mm/s.
Injection Mold Ejection
Ejects dense plastic parts from injection molding tools, where the no-tie-rod extruded profile allows tight installation against mold halts and machine platens.
Is the Airtac SE100 Standard Air Cylinder SE100BX50 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 100 mm bore cylinder is ideal when your application demands up to 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If your load requirement is lighter, stepping down to an 80 mm bore yields 2513 N of push force, whereas scaling up to a 125 mm bore provides 6136 N for heavier payloads. Note that a plain SE cylinder does not hold a load when air pressure is lost or exhausted; if your process requires mid-stroke position holding, consider the BSE rod-lock variant or an external pilot-operated check valve.
For retrofitting, this model maps directly to the ISO 15552 dimensional standard: 100 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, PT1/2 port, basic mounting, and no position sensor magnet. Because this unit lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot host CMSE or DMSE electronic switches; if position feedback is required, select an SE100X50S configuration instead.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for CMSE/DMSE sensors?
- ✓ Side load — consider a guided cylinder
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (LB/FA/FB/CA/CB/CR/TC/FTC/TCM1/TCM2).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SE100 Standard Air Cylinder SE100BX50 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 100 mm bore cylinder provides 3927 N of push force and 3681 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force reaches 5497 N, with a maximum push capacity of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operational speed range is 30-800 mm/s.
Yes, the SE100BX50 is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 standards, meaning it shares identical mounting footprint, port sizes (PT1/2), and rod-end thread (M20x1.5) with other compliant cylinders. It is a drop-in replacement for ISO 15552 cylinders such as SMC or Festo equivalents.
