Airtac SE100 Standard Air Cylinder SE100X238
The AirTAC Airtac SE100 Standard Air Cylinder SE100X238 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 / VDMA 24562 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 238mm stroke, PT1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its standardized mounting interface makes it a drop-in replacement for other ISO 15552 cylinders in automation lines.

About the Airtac SE100 Standard Air Cylinder SE100X238
The AirTAC SE100X238 is a double-acting single-rod profile cylinder built to the ISO 15552 standard, delivering a substantial 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa. Its 238 mm stroke is a non-standard made-to-order length, providing exact motion control for specialized machine spacing requirements.
This unit features a square extruded aluminum barrel without external tie rods, yielding a compact footprint that mounts flush against frames and resists corrosion. The field-adjustable air cushioning at both ends allows technicians to dial in the end-of-stroke deceleration via a set screw, softening hard impacts when moving heavy loads at speed. Note this specific SKU lacks a built-in magnet, so it is not ready for CMSE or DMSE position sensing without modification.

Where the Airtac SE100 Standard Air Cylinder SE100X238 Is Used
Injection Mold Platen Ejection
Provides the 5497 N push at 0.7 MPa required to eject dense plastic parts from injection molding platens, with adjustable cushioning absorbing the shock of sudden platen stops.
Pallet Diverting Arm
Drives a heavy-duty diverting arm on a packaging conveyor, utilizing the 238 mm stroke to fully shift loaded pallets onto adjacent processing lanes.
Hydraulic Press Loading
Pushes raw billets into the heating chamber of a hydraulic press, where the robust 25 mm rod handles the high side-load transition without deflecting.
Is the Airtac SE100 Standard Air Cylinder SE100X238 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 100 mm bore provides a maximum thrust of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. If your application requires less force, stepping down to the 80 mm bore yields 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 125 mm bore provides 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa for heavier payloads. Because the 238 mm stroke exceeds standard catalog increments, it is manufactured as a made-to-order unit.
As a true ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it serves as a drop-in replacement for any standard 100 mm bore cylinder with a 238 mm stroke, utilizing the same PT1/2 ports and M20x1.5 rod thread. Remember that the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke ends; it does not hold the load if air pressure is lost. For position-holding safety, consider a BSE rod lock variant or an external pilot-operated check valve.
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 SE100X238 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 increases to 5497 N. The absolute maximum push force is 801 kgf when operated at the 1.0 MPa pressure limit.
This specific SE100X238 SKU is manufactured without a built-in piston magnet, meaning it cannot directly interface with AirTAC CMSE reed or DMSE electronic sensors. If position detection is required for your machine sequence, you must specify the 'S' option code (e.g., SE100X238S) to include the internal magnet.
