About the Airtac SE40 Standard Cylinder SE40BX260S
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.

Where the Airtac SE40 Standard Cylinder SE40BX260S Is Used
Bottle Rinser Grippers
Uses the 628 N extend force and SUS304 rod to grip and invert containers through a chemical washdown cycle without rusting.
Diverter Gate Actuation
Leverages the 260 mm stroke to swing sorting flaps on packaging lines, with adjustable cushions softening the gate impact at speed.
Film Roll Tensioning
Maintains precise tension on wrapping machinery, relying on the DMSE electronic sensor feedback for repeatable positioning.
Is the Airtac SE40 Standard Cylinder SE40BX260S the Right Cylinder?
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
- ✓ 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 SE40BX260S FAQ
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.
