About the Airtac SE40 Standard Cylinder SE40BX160S
The AirTAC SE40BX160S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for a 40mm bore and 160mm stroke. It generates 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and 879 N at 0.7 MPa, making it a robust choice for mid-range actuation. The extruded aluminum barrel omits external tie rods, yielding a compact, flush-mounting body that naturally resists corrosion and simplifies the addition of mounting brackets.
Equipped with a SUS304 stainless steel rod (code B), this specific configuration excels in washdown or corrosive manufacturing environments. The integrated -S magnet enables precise end-of-stroke detection using AirTAC CMSE reed or DMSE electronic sensors. Furthermore, the field-adjustable pneumatic cushioning at both ends allows you to tune end-stop deceleration, absorbing kinetic energy smoothly rather than relying on a fixed rubber bumper.

Where the Airtac SE40 Standard Cylinder SE40BX160S Is Used
Flow Wrapper End-Sealing
Drives the sealing jaw on continuous motion flow wrappers, using the 628 N push force to cleanly crimp packaging film on food products.
Lab Sample Centrifuge Loader
Leverages the SUS304 stainless rod and -S magnet for position feedback to safely insert and extract corrosive biological samples.
Bottle Sorting Gate Pivot
Actuates diverter gates on high-speed bottling lines, where the adjustable cushion softens the 160mm stroke impact to prevent glass breakage.
Is the Airtac SE40 Standard Cylinder SE40BX160S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 40mm bore model, consider stepping down to the 32mm bore if your load requires only 402 N of push at 0.5 MPa, or moving up to the 50mm bore for a substantial increase to 982 N. Because this cylinder features a 160mm stroke, the 16mm rod and M12x1.25 thread provide a sturdy interface, but long unsupported strokes invite rod-bearing bending; always utilize an external guide to prevent side-load damage. Remember that a standard SE cylinder relies on live air pressure to move—if air is lost or the valve is centered, the piston drifts and cannot hold a load. For dimensionally interchangeable ISO 15552 retrofits, match the 40mm bore, 160mm stroke, PT1/4 port, and -S magnet requirement.
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 SE40BX160S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the SE40BX160S provides 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 879 N. The maximum push force is 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa, and the operational speed range is 30-800 mm/s.
Yes, it is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 standards, allowing a direct retrofit for other profile cylinders using standard mounting hardware. However, it is a double-acting cylinder, not a lock; if air pressure is lost, the piston will drift and cannot hold a load vertically.
