About the Airtac SE50 Standard Cylinder SE50AX180
The AirTAC SE50AX180 is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder delivering a 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa. Engineered with a 50 mm bore and 180 mm stroke, it features a square extruded aluminum barrel without external tie rods, keeping the body compact and highly resistant to corrosion while allowing flush mounting on machinery.
This specific configuration uses a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (code A) for superior performance in washdown or corrosive environments. The barrel integrates sensor grooves on three sides, though this SKU ships without a magnet, meaning position sensing is not natively enabled out of the box.

Where the Airtac SE50 Standard Cylinder SE50AX180 Is Used
Flow Wrapper Infeed
Drives the infeed pusher on a food-grade flow wrapper, utilizing the 982 N push force and SUS420J2 stainless rod to withstand frequent washdown cycles.
Bottling Line Diverter
Actuates a routing gate on a beverage conveyor, relying on the 180 mm stroke to shift containers smoothly between processing lanes.
Lab Sample Dispenser
Precisely meters liquid reagents in an automated lab dispenser, benefiting from the compact tie-rod-free profile and corrosion-resistant rod material.
Is the Airtac SE50 Standard Cylinder SE50AX180 the Right Cylinder?
If your application requires less force, stepping down to the 40 mm bore yields a 628 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas scaling up to the 63 mm bore provides a 1559 N push. As a standard ISO 15552 cylinder, this model offers a drop-in replacement footprint for other ISO 15552 cylinders, sharing standard mounting accessories, a PT1/4 port, and an M16x1.5 rod thread.
Because the stroke is 180 mm, side loading is moderate, but always verify rod-bearing bending loads and use an external guide if the mechanism lacks rigid support. Note that this plain SE cylinder does not hold its position or load when air is lost or the valve is centered, as the piston will drift. The field-adjustable air cushion at both ends only decelerates the piston near stroke end and is not a locking mechanism.
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 SE50AX180 FAQ
The SE50AX180 provides a push force of 982 N and a pull force of 825 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 1374 N, with a maximum push of 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operational speed range is 30-800 mm/s.
This specific SKU does not include a built-in magnet (-S), so it cannot natively support AirTAC CMSE or DMSE position sensors without modification. If sensing is required, select an SE50 model with the S option code.
