About the Airtac SE50 Standard Cylinder SE50AX180S
The AirTAC SE50AX180S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for rigorous motion control. Operating at 0.5 MPa, it generates 982 N of push force and 825 N of pull force, scaling to 1374 N push at 0.7 MPa. The extruded aluminum barrel omits external tie rods, yielding a compact, flush-mounting body that naturally resists corrosion and simplifies fixture integration.
This specific configuration features a SUS420J2 stainless steel piston rod (code A) for superior performance in washdown or mildly corrosive environments. The built-in magnet (code S) enables seamless position detection using AirTAC CMSE reed or DMSE electronic sensors along the three-sided sensor grooves. Furthermore, the field-adjustable pneumatic cushioning at both stroke ends allows technicians to tune end-of-stroke deceleration via a set screw, softitting hard impacts during high-speed 30-800 mm/s cycling.

Where the Airtac SE50 Standard Cylinder SE50AX180S Is Used
Flow Wrapper End-Sealing
Drives the 180 mm stroke end-sealing jaw mechanism on continuous motion flow wrappers, applying 982 N of precise push force to crease and seal flexible film packaging.
Beverage Bottle Star-Wheel Diverting
Actuates the 50 mm bore indexing arm on stainless-steel bottle star-wheels, leveraging the SUS420J2 rod to withstand daily washdown chemistry in beverage lines.
Lab Centrifuge Lid Clamping
Secures high-speed laboratory centrifuge lids during rotor spin-up, using the DMSE electronic sensor signal to verify safe 180 mm extension before allowing motor start.
Is the Airtac SE50 Standard Cylinder SE50AX180S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, evaluate your force margins: if 982 N push at 0.5 MPa is excessive, step down to the 40 mm bore offering 628 N push; if your mechanism demands more thrust, step up to the 63 mm bore providing 1559 N push. The 180 mm stroke on this 50 mm bore utilizes a PT1/4 port and an M16x1.5 rod thread, matching standard ISO 15552 mounting dimensions for direct retrofits alongside LB foot or FA front flange accessories. Because the stroke exceeds 300 mm is not the case here, standard bearing loading applies, but always verify guide loads. Note that a standard SE cylinder drifts when air is removed; for position holding without live pressure, specify a BSE rod lock variant.
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 SE50AX180S FAQ
The SE50AX180S delivers a push force of 982 N and a pull force of 825 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 1374 N. The absolute maximum push capacity is 200 kgf when operated at the maximum rated pressure of 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the SE50AX180S is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 standards, allowing it to serve as a direct replacement for other ISO 15552 profile cylinders using the same 50 mm bore, 180 mm stroke, and PT1/4 port. The built-in magnet also ensures compatibility with standard CMSE and DMSE sensor tracks.
