About the Airtac SE40 Standard Cylinder SE40BX160
The AirTAC SE40BX160 is a double-acting single-rod profile cylinder built to ISO 15552 dimensions, delivering a 628 N push at 0.5 MPa. Its square extruded aluminum barrel removes external tie rods entirely, yielding a flush exterior that simplifies mounting and resists corrosion in tight machinery layouts.
This specific SKU utilizes a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod engineered for corrosive or washdown environments. Because it lacks the -S magnet code, it is not wired for CMSE or DMSE position sensing out of the box. Field-adjustable air cushioning at both ends allows you to tune end-of-stroke deceleration via a set screw, protecting payloads from hard impacts.

Where the Airtac SE40 Standard Cylinder SE40BX160 Is Used
Stainless Forming Press
Drives a 160 mm tooling stroke in a food-grade sheet metal former, utilizing the SUS304 rod to withstand daily caustic washdowns without pitting.
Marine Pouch Folding
Actuates a packaging flap folder on a coastal production line, where the 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa securely creases heavy barrier films.
Lab Sample Indexing
Pushes a reagent carousel 160 mm between test stations, relying on the adjustable pneumatic cushions to stop delicate glassware smoothly.
Is the Airtac SE40 Standard Cylinder SE40BX160 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 40 mm bore, stepping down to a 32 mm bore drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 402 N, while stepping up to a 50 mm bore increases it to 982 N. This SE40BX160 carries a 160 mm stroke and a PT1/4 port. As a dimensionally interchangeable ISO 15552 unit, it serves as a direct replacement for any standard 40 mm profile cylinder using existing FA or LB mounting hardware.
Because this unit lacks a rod lock, it cannot hold a load vertically if air pressure is lost; apply an external BSE rod lock for safety-critical holding. Additionally, the 160 mm stroke generates leverage on the M12x1.25 rod thread; if your payload imposes lateral stress rather than pure axial tension, support it with an external guide rail to prevent bearing 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.
Airtac SE40 Standard Cylinder SE40BX160 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 40 mm bore cylinder provides 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force reaches 879 N, with a maximum push capacity of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates on filtered air between 0.15 and 1.0 MPa at speeds of 30-800 mm/s.
Yes. The SE40BX160 adheres strictly to ISO 15552 / VDMA 24562 profile cylinder dimensions, meaning it shares the exact same mounting footprint and rod thread interface as comparable 40 mm bore cylinders from other manufacturers. You can swap it in using your existing mounting brackets without machining new plates.
