About the Airtac SE100 Standard Air Cylinder SE100BX500S
The AirTAC SE100BX500S is a double-acting single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty motion. It generates 3927 N of push force and 3681 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a 100mm bore and 500mm stroke. The extruded aluminum barrel omits external tie rods, yielding a compact, corrosion-resistant body that mounts flush in tight machinery spaces while resisting mechanical degradation.
This specific configuration incorporates a SUS304 stainless steel rod (option B) for superior resistance in corrosive or washdown environments. Equipped with a built-in magnet (option S), the cylinder seamlessly integrates with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors for precise end-of-stroke detection. Field-adjustable air cushions at both ends allow technicians to tune deceleration, softening hard end stops during high-speed 30-800 mm/s operations.

Where the Airtac SE100 Standard Air Cylinder SE100BX500S Is Used
Palletizer Strapping
Drives the heavy-duty strapping and sealing head on automated palletizing lines, using its 3927 N push force to tension steel bands securely around heavy goods.
Press Brake Demolding
Exerts 3681 N of pull force to extract stubborn molded components from press brake beds, benefiting from the SUS304 rod in oily, high-friction environments.
Washdown Diverter
Actuates heavy flow diverter valves in food and beverage processing plants, where the SUS304 stainless steel rod withstands daily high-pressure chemical washdowns.
Is the Airtac SE100 Standard Air Cylinder SE100BX500S the Right Cylinder?
Generating 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa, this 100mm bore fits high-force tasks. If your application requires less energy, the 80mm bore provides 2513 N push, whereas stepping up to the 125mm bore yields 6136 N for heavier loads. Remember that a standard SE cylinder cannot hold a load if air pressure drops; for strict position holding, consider the BSE rod lock variant. At 500mm stroke, the 25mm rod and M20x1.5 thread carry significant side load, but an external guide is recommended to prevent rod-bearing bending under dynamic stress. For ISO 15552 retrofits, match the 100mm bore, 500mm stroke, PT1/2 port, and mounting accessory to ensure a drop-in dimensional replacement.
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 SE100BX500S FAQ
The SE100BX500S provides a push force of 3927 N and a pull force of 3681 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force reaches 5497 N. The maximum push force is 801 kgf at the maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa.
Yes, it is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 standards, allowing it to serve as a drop-in replacement for other ISO 15552 profile cylinders. However, it is a standard double-acting cylinder; the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end and does not lock or hold the load when air is exhausted.
