About the Airtac SE40 Standard Cylinder SE40X260
The AirTAC SE40X260 is a double-acting single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered to deliver 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.
This 260 mm stroke unit features field-adjustable pneumatic cushioning at both ends to soften end-of-stroke impacts. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet code, it is not equipped for CMSE or DMSE electronic position sensing without modification.

Where the Airtac SE40 Standard Cylinder SE40X260 Is Used
Bottling Line Diverter
Sorts plastic containers on a packaging conveyor using 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, absorbing kinetic energy via its adjustable end cushions.
Carton Flap Folder
Actuates folding mechanisms on a corrugated box erector over 260 mm of travel, relying on the flush aluminum profile to fit tight transfer clearances.
PCB Tray Loader
Pushes empty electronics trays into a testing station, where the ISO 15552 mounting interface allows seamless integration with existing fixture plates.
Is the Airtac SE40 Standard Cylinder SE40X260 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; conversely, moving up to the 50 mm bore provides 982 N. This SE40X260 uses a PT1/4 port and a 16 mm rod, making it dimensionally interchangeable with other ISO 15552 cylinders for straightforward retrofits.
At 260 mm of stroke, the 16 mm piston rod experiences higher bending moments under side loads, so an external guide rail is recommended to prevent premature rod-bearing wear. Note that the adjustable air cushion decelerates the piston near stroke end but does not lock the load; if air pressure drops, the rod will drift.
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 SE40X260 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 increases to 879 N, with a maximum push capacity of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operational speed range is 30-800 mm/s.
Yes, the SE40X260 shares the standardized ISO 15552 / VDMA 24562 mounting dimensions, allowing it to serve as a drop-in replacement for other 40 mm profile cylinders. It uses a PT1/4 port and an M12x1.25 rod thread, though you should verify overall stroke length clearance.
