The AirTAC SE40 Standard Cylinder SE40BX260S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 / VDMA 24562 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 260mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its standardized mounting interface makes it interchangeable with other ISO 15552 cylinders at the mounting interface.
The AirTAC SE40BX260S is a double-acting single-rod profile cylinder built to ISO 15552 standards, delivering 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Its square extruded aluminum barrel eliminates external tie rods, yielding a compact footprint that mounts flush against machine frames while resisting corrosion. Equipped with a SUS304 stainless steel rod, this unit is specifically configured for washdown and corrosive environments.
This 40 mm bore model features a built-in magnet for non-contact position sensing using AirTAC CMSE reed or DMSE electronic switches. The field-adjustable air cushioning at both ends allows technicians to tune end-of-stroke deceleration via a set screw, softening hard impacts during high-speed cycling without relying on fixed rubber bumpers.

Uses the 628 N extend force and SUS304 rod to grip and invert containers through a chemical washdown cycle without rusting.
Leverages the 260 mm stroke to swing sorting flaps on packaging lines, with adjustable cushions softening the gate impact at speed.
Maintains precise tension on wrapping machinery, relying on the DMSE electronic sensor feedback for repeatable positioning.
Selecting this 40 mm bore makes sense when your application requires the 628 N push at 0.5 MPa; if you need less force, stepping down to the 32 mm bore yields 402 N, while moving up to the 50 mm bore provides 982 N. Because this SE40BX260S features a 260 mm stroke, the extended piston rod is subject to bending forces under heavy lateral loads—an external guide bearing is recommended to prevent rod-bearing wear. As a dimensionally interchangeable ISO 15552 cylinder, it serves as a direct replacement for other standard profile cylinders, utilizing the existing PT1/4 port and standard mounting accessories. Note that the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end; it does not lock or hold the load if air pressure is lost.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 628 N and the pull force is 528 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 879 N. The maximum push force is 128 kgf at the 1.0 MPa operating pressure limit.
Yes, the built-in magnet (-S) is compatible with AirTAC CMSE reed switches and DMSE solid-state electronic sensors, which drop directly into the sensor grooves on the extruded barrel.
