The AirTAC SE40 Standard Cylinder SE40BX600SH is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 / VDMA 24562 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 600mm 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 SE40BX600SH is a double-acting single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for rigorous washdown and high-temperature environments. It generates 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and features a SUS304 stainless steel rod paired with a Viton (FKM) seal, expanding the operating temperature range up to 150 C. The square extruded aluminum barrel omits external tie rods, yielding a compact, corrosion-resistant body that mounts flush against machine frames.
This 40 mm bore unit includes a built-in magnet for non-contact position sensing using AirTAC CMSE reed or DMSE electronic switches. Field-adjustable pneumatic cushioning at both ends allows technicians to tune end-of-stroke deceleration via a set screw, softening hard impacts when cycling heavy loads at speed. The integrated sensor grooves on three sides of the profile simplify switch placement without adding external brackets.

Actuates a high-temperature diverter gate on a beverage bottle filling line, utilizing the Viton seal and SUS304 rod to withstand daily caustic washdowns without degrading.
Pushes empty pallets laterally across a 600 mm transfer zone, relying on the adjustable pneumatic cushion to soften the end stop and protect the 628 N payload from shock.
Maintains precise tensioning on a packaging film unwind stand, where the built-in magnet triggers DMSE electronic sensors to regulate feed speed over the long stroke.
Selecting the SE40BX600SH bridges the gap between lighter and heavier actuation classes. If 628 N of push at 0.5 MPa is insufficient, stepping up to the 50 mm bore yields 982 N; conversely, dropping down to the 32 mm bore reduces the footprint and output to 402 N. This 600 mm stroke variant utilizes a PT1/4 port and an M12x1.25 rod thread, but because it exceeds 300 mm of travel, the unsupported piston rod is susceptible to bending under side loads—always pair it with an external guide rail to prevent premature rod-bearing wear.
As a standard ISO 15552 profile cylinder, this model serves as a dimensionally interchangeable direct replacement for competing ISO 15552 cylinders, sharing identical mounting interface dimensions for foot, flange, and trunnion hardware. Note that the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end; it is not a locking mechanism. If your process requires the cylinder to hold a vertical load without live air pressure, integrate an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
The 40 mm bore generates a push force of 628 N and a pull force of 528 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 879 N, with a maximum push capacity of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates at speeds of 30-800 mm/s, uses a PT1/4 port, and features a 16 mm SUS304 rod with M12x1.25 threading.
Yes, its standardized ISO 15552 mounting interface makes it dimensionally interchangeable with other profile cylinders of the same bore. However, it is a double-acting air cylinder and cannot hold a load if air pressure is lost; the adjustable cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end and does not function as a mechanical brake.
