About the Airtac SE50 Standard Cylinder SE50AX170
The AirTAC SE50AX170 is a double-acting single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered to deliver a 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa. Driven by filtered air, it operates reliably within a 0.15-1.0 MPa pressure range and reaches speeds up to 800 mm/s. The extruded aluminum barrel omits external tie rods, yielding a compact footprint that mounts flush against frames while resisting corrosion.
This specific SKU features a SUS420J2 stainless steel piston rod (code A) for corrosive or washdown environments. It lacks a built-in magnet, meaning position sensing is not available on this unit without modification. Field-adjustable pneumatic cushioning at both stroke ends allows you to tune deceleration, softening hard impacts during high-speed cycling.

Where the Airtac SE50 Standard Cylinder SE50AX170 Is Used
Flow Wrapper Sealing Jaw
Cycles the sealing jaw on horizontal flow wrappers for baked goods, using the 982 N push force to maintain consistent seam pressure across packaging film.
Bottling Line Diverter Gate
Actuates routing gates on beverage conveyor lines, where the SUS420J2 stainless rod withstands daily washdowns and the 170 mm stroke clears the product path.
CNC Lathe Bar Feeder Pusher
Advances bar stock into CNC turning centers, relying on adjustable end cushions to soften the 800 mm/s stroke impacts and prevent workpiece chatter.
Is the Airtac SE50 Standard Cylinder SE50AX170 the Right Cylinder?
Delivering 982 N of push at 0.5 MPa, this 50 mm bore is a solid middle-ground actuator. If your load is lighter, the 40 mm bore offers 628 N push, whereas stepping up to the 63 mm bore provides 1559 N for heavier mechanisms. Because this is a standard double-acting cylinder, it will drift if air pressure is lost or a valve centers; applications requiring true position holding without live pressure must integrate an external pilot-operated check valve or use a BSE rod-lock variant.
With a 170 mm stroke, the Ø20 mm rod and M16x1.5 thread handle moderate side loads, but for any stroke exceeding 300 mm you must incorporate an external guide to prevent rod-bearing bending. This unit's PT1/4 ports and ISO 15552 mounting interface make it dimensionally interchangeable with other ISO 15552 profile cylinders, simplifying retrofits.
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 SE50AX170 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 increases to 1374 N. The maximum push force is 200 kgf when operating at the maximum rated pressure of 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the SE50AX170 shares the exact ISO 15552 / VDMA 24562 mounting interface and dimensions, making it a drop-in replacement for other ISO 15552 profile cylinders. It uses PT1/4 ports and features a SUS420J2 stainless rod for washdown environments, but note it lacks a built-in magnet for CMSE/DMSE position sensors.
