About the Airtac SE50 Standard Cylinder SE50AX170S
The AirTAC SE50AX170S is a double-acting single-rod profile cylinder built to the ISO 15552 / VDMA 24562 dimensional standard, delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. It features a 50 mm bore, a 170 mm stroke, and a PT1/4 port. The extruded aluminum barrel lacks external tie rods, yielding a compact, corrosion-resistant body that mounts flush against frames, while the integrated SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (code A) directly resists washdown and corrosive moisture.
Equipped with a built-in magnet (code S), this unit supports AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors for precise end-of-stroke detection without external hardware. The field-adjustable air cushioning at both ends utilizes a 30 mm cushion length and can be tuned via a set screw to soften hard end stops during high-speed 30-800 mm/s cycling.

Where the Airtac SE50 Standard Cylinder SE50AX170S Is Used
Flow Wrapper End-Seal Jaws
Drives the sealing jaws on continuous motion flow wrappers, utilizing the 982 N push force to cleanly crimp film packaging at high cyclic speeds.
Bottle Rinser Gripper
Actuates container gripper arms in a rotary bottle rinsing station, where the SUS420J2 stainless rod endures constant washdown and moisture exposure.
CNC Lathe Bar Feeder
Pushes raw bar stock into the collet of an automatic lathe, relying on the 170 mm stroke and adjustable pneumatic cushions to prevent hard mechanical jerks.
Is the Airtac SE50 Standard Cylinder SE50AX170S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 50 mm bore provides 982 N push at 0.5 MPa; if your fixture requires less force, stepping down to the 40 mm bore yields 628 N push, while moving up to the 63 mm bore provides 1559 N push. As a standard double-acting cylinder, the SE50AX170S does not hold its load when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, so suspended loads require a BSE rod lock or external pilot-operated check valve. For ISO 15552 dimensional interchangeability, match the 50 mm bore, 170 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, and your required mounting accessory, ensuring you specify the -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE sensor tracking.
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 SE50AX170S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the SE50AX170S delivers 982 N of push force and 825 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 1374 N. The maximum push force is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the SE50AX170S is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, meaning it shares the same mounting interface and footprint as other standard profile cylinders. The built-in -S magnet also allows you to drop in AirTAC CMSE reed or DMSE electronic sensors for position detection.
