About the Airtac SE40 Standard Cylinder SE40BX180S
The AirTAC SE40BX180S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for a 40 mm bore and 180 mm stroke. It provides 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and features a SUS304 stainless steel rod, making it highly suitable for corrosive or washdown environments. The extruded aluminum barrel lacks external tie rods, yielding a compact, flush-mounting body that resists corrosion and simplifies sensor placement along its three integrated grooves.
Equipped with a built-in magnet (-S), this unit seamlessly interfaces with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors for precise end-of-stroke detection. The field-adjustable pneumatic cushioning at both ends allows technicians to tune end-stop deceleration via a screw, softening impacts during high-speed 30-800 mm/s cycles. With a PT1/4 port and an M12x1.25 rod thread, it offers robust performance for demanding automation tasks.

Where the Airtac SE40 Standard Cylinder SE40BX180S Is Used
Lab Washdown Dispensing
The SUS304 stainless rod handles moisture exposure in liquid bottling lines, using 628 N of push to actuate dispensing valves reliably.
Flow Wrapper Sealing
Adjustable end cushions soften the impact of 30-800 mm/s cycling on a flow wrapper, ensuring crisp 180 mm stroke sealing jaw movements.
PCB Conveyor Diverting
The compact tie-rod-free profile mounts flush to conveyor framing, using the built-in magnet for DMSE sensor feedback to index boards.
Is the Airtac SE40 Standard Cylinder SE40BX180S the Right Cylinder?
If your application requires less force, stepping down to the 32 mm bore yields 402 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas upgrading to the 50 mm bore provides 982 N for heavier loads. Because the 180 mm stroke exceeds the 300 mm threshold, the unsupported piston rod is susceptible to bending under lateral loads; integrating an external guide rail prevents side-load damage to the rod bearing. As a dimensionally interchangeable ISO 15552 cylinder, it serves as a direct replacement for other standard profile cylinders, matching the 40 mm bore, 180 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, and standard mounting footprint. Note that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end; it does not hold a load if air pressure is lost.
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 SE40BX180S 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 is 879 N, and it reaches a maximum push of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the SE40BX180S is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 standards. It matches the standard 40 mm bore, 180 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, and M12x1.25 rod thread, allowing it to drop into existing ISO 15552 mounting hardware.
