About the Airtac SE100 Standard Air Cylinder SE100X160
The AirTAC SE100X160 is a double-acting single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation. It delivers a robust 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa, scaling to 5497 N at 0.7 MPa, making it ideal for moving substantial masses. The square extruded aluminum barrel omits external tie rods, yielding a compact, corrosion-resistant body that mounts flush against machine frames.
This unit features a 100 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, and a PT1/2 port driving a 25 mm hard-chrome rod with an M20x1.5 thread. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet suffix, it is not wired for AirTAC CMSE or DMSE position sensing out of the box. Field-adjustable pneumatic cushioning at both stroke ends allows you to tune deceleration, softening hard mechanical stops when cycling at speeds up to 800 mm/s.

Where the Airtac SE100 Standard Air Cylinder SE100X160 Is Used
Press Die Ejection
Provides the 3927 N push force required to eject heavy stamped metal panels from press dies, utilizing the 160 mm stroke to clear the tooling bed completely.
Injection Mold Clamping
Secures large plastic injection mold halves with 5497 N of force at 0.7 MPa, leveraging the rigid ISO 15552 profile body to resist deflection during high-pressure resin injection.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a heavy-duty pneumatic stop gate on automated pallet conveyors, using the 801 kgf maximum thrust to halt fully loaded pallets without bouncing.
Is the Airtac SE100 Standard Air Cylinder SE100X160 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting the SE100X160 makes sense when your application demands high thrust without approaching the absolute limits of the bore. If you need to step down to save air volume and footprint, the 80 mm bore offers 2513 N of push at 0.5 MPa. If you require even more power, the 125 mm bore provides 6136 N at 0.5 MPa. Keep in mind that a plain SE cylinder relies on live air pressure to hold a load; if the air supply drops or the valve centers, the piston will drift. For safety-critical holding, consider the BSE rod-lock variant. Furthermore, at 160 mm of stroke, the 25 mm rod and M20x1.5 thread handle moderate side loads well, but any long unsupported load should still use an external guide to prevent rod-bearing bending.
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 SE100X160 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the SE100X160 provides 3927 N of push force and 3681 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, push force increases to 5497 N. The maximum push force is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operational speed range is 30-800 mm/s.
Yes, it is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 standards, serving as a drop-in replacement for other ISO 15552 profile cylinders without needing new mounting hardware. However, it does not hold position if air is lost; the field-adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end, they do not lock the load.
