About the Airtac SE50 Standard Cylinder SE50AX160S
The AirTAC SE50AX160S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered to deliver a 982 N push at 0.5 MPa. The square extruded aluminum barrel omits external tie rods, yielding a compact, corrosion-resistant body that mounts flush against machine frames while protecting internal mechanics.
This specific configuration features a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (code A) for corrosive or washdown environments, and includes a built-in magnet (code S) for position tracking. The magnet interfaces directly with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors, while field-adjustable air cushions at both ends let you fine-tune end-of-stroke deceleration to prevent hard impacts.

Where the Airtac SE50 Standard Cylinder SE50AX160S Is Used
Flow Wrapper Film Sealing
Drives the end-seal jaw on a continuous flow wrapper, using the 982 N push force to cut and seal packaging film cleanly while operating at speeds up to 800 mm/s.
Lab Washdown Dispenser
Actuates a chemical dispensing valve in a washdown lab environment, relying on the SUS420J2 stainless rod to resist moisture corrosion and the DMSE sensor for precise fluid metering.
CNC Lathe Bar Feeder
Pushes raw bar stock into the spindle of a CNC lathe, utilizing the 160 mm stroke and adjustable end cushions to prevent mechanical shock when feeding heavy stock.
Is the Airtac SE50 Standard Cylinder SE50AX160S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 50 mm bore actuator, evaluate your force margins: stepping down to the 40 mm bore drops the 0.5 MPa push to 628 N, while stepping up to the 63 mm bore increases it to 1559 N. If your process must hold a vertical load without live air pressure, note that a standard SE cylinder will drift when air is lost—you must integrate a BSE rod lock or an external pilot-operated check valve.
Because this model carries a 160 mm stroke, the unsupported piston rod is subject to bending forces under heavy lateral loads; utilize an external guide to prevent rod-bearing wear. As a dimensionally interchangeable ISO 15552 cylinder, it serves as a drop-in replacement sharing standardized mounting hardware and PT1/4 ports with other ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
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 SE50 Standard Cylinder SE50AX160S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 50 mm bore cylinder provides 982 N of push force and 825 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 1374 N. The maximum rated push force is 200 kgf (approx. 1961 N) at the 1.0 MPa operating pressure limit.
Yes, the SE50AX160S is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 standards. It shares the exact mounting interface and PT1/4 port locations of other ISO 15552 profile cylinders, allowing a direct drop-in retrofit without modifying your existing machine plates.
