About the Airtac SE100 Standard Air Cylinder SE100BX550SH
The AirTAC SE100BX550SH is a double-acting single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty positioning. It delivers a substantial 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa and 5497 N at 0.7 MPa, utilizing a 100 mm bore and 550 mm stroke. The square extruded aluminum barrel eliminates external tie rods, yielding a compact, corrosion-resistant body that mounts flush against machine frames.
Configured for harsh environments, this unit incorporates a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior washdown and corrosion resistance, alongside FKM (Viton) seals that extend the operating temperature range up to 150 C. The built-in magnet enables seamless integration with CMSE reed and DMSE electronic position sensors, while the field-adjustable pneumatic cushioning at both ends allows you to dial in end-of-stroke deceleration for heavy loads moving at speeds up to 800 mm/s.

Where the Airtac SE100 Standard Air Cylinder SE100BX550SH Is Used
Injection Mold Ejection
Provides the robust 5497 N extension force needed to strip large automotive interior panels from injection molds, withstanding high ambient heat via FKM Viton seals.
Pallet Diverting Arm
Actuates a heavy-duty diverter arm across a 550 mm stroke to redirect loaded pallets on a packaging line, using adjustable cushioning to soften the hard end stops.
Chemical Washdown Gate
Opens and closes process vessel access doors in food and chemical plants, relying on the SUS304 stainless steel rod to resist aggressive caustic cleaning cycles.
Is the Airtac SE100 Standard Air Cylinder SE100BX550SH the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 100 mm bore cylinder makes sense when your application requires pushing power between the 2513 N (at 0.5 MPa) of an 80 mm bore and the 6136 N of a 125 mm bore. If you need to hold a vertical load safely without constant air pressure, note that a standard SE cylinder will drift when air is lost or the valve is centered; you should evaluate a BSE rod lock variant or an external pilot-operated check valve. As a dimensionally interchangeable ISO 15552 component, it serves as a direct drop-in replacement for other ISO 15552 profile cylinders, matching the PT1/2 port, 550 mm stroke, and standard mounting accessories. Because the 550 mm stroke creates an extended lever arm on the rod bearing, an external guide rail is highly recommended to prevent side-load bending and premature seal wear.
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.
