About the Airtac SE50 Standard Cylinder SE50AX160SFTC
The AirTAC SE50AX160SFTC is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for rigorous duty. It generates 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and 1374 N at 0.7 MPa, driven through a PT1/4 port. The SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (code A) provides essential corrosion resistance for washdown or chemically exposed settings.
This model features a built-in magnet (code S) for seamless positioning feedback via AirTAC CMSE reed or DMSE electronic sensors. The extruded aluminum barrel omits external tie rods, yielding a smooth, flush-mounting exterior that resists debris accumulation. Field-adjustable pneumatic cushioning at both ends allows you to fine-tune end-of-stroke deceleration, protecting payloads from harsh mechanical impacts.

Where the Airtac SE50 Standard Cylinder SE50AX160SFTC Is Used
Pouch Filling Heads
Raises and lowers stainless-steel filling nozzles on rotary pouch machines, using the 982 N push force and SUS420J2 rod to withstand daily washdown cycles.
Bottle Diverters
Actuates lane-changing arms on stainless-steel conveyor tables, where the FTC trunnion mount accommodates the arc of the pivoting guide rail.
Lab Sample Handlers
Positions fluidic analysis probes with 160 mm stroke, relying on the integrated S magnet to trigger DMSE solid-state sensors for precise handoff timing.
Is the Airtac SE50 Standard Cylinder SE50AX160SFTC the Right Cylinder?
Delivering 982 N push at 0.5 MPa, this 50 mm bore is a mid-range workhorse. If your payload is lighter, stepping down to the 40 mm bore yields 628 N push, while upgrading to the 63 mm bore provides 1559 N for heavier demands. The included FTC center trunnion mount is ideal for pivot applications requiring lateral rotation.
With a 160 mm stroke, the 20 mm rod and M16x1.5 thread handle moderate side loads, but an external guide is recommended if the load is not axially rigid. Remember that the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end; it is not a locking device. If the assembly must hold a load safely during air loss, use a BSE rod lock or external pilot-operated check valve.
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.
