About the Airtac SE50 Standard Cylinder SE50AX15S
The AirTAC SE50AX15S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for compact linear motion. It generates 982 N of push force and 825 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for medium-duty clamping and positioning tasks. The extruded aluminum barrel omits external tie rods, yielding a smooth, corrosion-resistant body that mounts flush against machine frames while freeing up three integrated sensor grooves for flexible switch placement.
This specific configuration features a SUS420J2 stainless steel piston rod (code A) for washdown and mildly corrosive environments, paired with a built-in magnet (code S) for non-contact position detection. The magnet is fully compatible with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors, allowing precise end-of-stroke signaling. Furthermore, the end caps house field-adjustable air cushioning at both stroke ends, enabling technicians to fine-tune deceleration and eliminate hard mechanical impacts during high-speed cycling.

Where the Airtac SE50 Standard Cylinder SE50AX15S Is Used
Flow Wrapper End-Sealing
Provides 982 N of clamping thrust at 0.5 MPa to actuate the rotary sealing jaw mechanism on continuous flow wrapping lines, with the SUS420J2 rod resisting washdown moisture.
Lab Dispense Head Positioning
Utilizes the 15 mm short stroke and built-in DMSE electronic sensor compatibility to precisely lower a fluid dispense nozzle onto microplate wells in automated analytical equipment.
Sheet Metal Press Braking
Applies 825 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa to retract a small hold-down finger guide on a press brake, ensuring flat material alignment before the upper punch descends.
Is the Airtac SE50 Standard Cylinder SE50AX15S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, evaluate your force requirements against its 982 N push at 0.5 MPa. If your application demands less thrust, stepping down to the 40 mm bore yields 628 N of push force, conserving compressed air. Conversely, scaling up to the 63 mm bore provides a substantial 1559 N of push force for heavier payloads. Remember that a standard SE cylinder does not hold its position if air pressure is lost; if your process requires static load holding during an air failure or valve centering, you must integrate an external pilot-operated check valve or transition to the AirTAC BSE rod-lock variant. Because this is a 15 mm stroke, side-load bending on the rod bearing is minimal, but always ensure the load is axially aligned to prevent premature seal wear. As a true ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it serves as a dimensionally interchangeable drop-in replacement for any standard ISO 15552 mounting footprint, utilizing the PT1/4 port and standardized mounting hardware.

- ✓ 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 SE50 Standard Cylinder SE50AX15S FAQ
The SE50AX15S delivers a push force of 982 N and a pull force of 825 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 1374 N, with a maximum push capacity of 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates on filtered air at 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa and a speed range of 30-800 mm/s.
Yes, the SE50AX15S is a true ISO 15552 / VDMA 24562 profile cylinder, meaning its mounting dimensions and PT1/4 port locations are standardized for direct drop-in interchangeability with other ISO 15552 cylinders. You can reuse existing mounting brackets and sensor setups, though the AirTAC unit uniquely features a corrosion-resistant SUS420J2 rod and an adjustable cushion screw at both ends for impact tuning.
