About the Airtac SE50 Standard Cylinder SE50AX230
The AirTAC SE50AX230 is a double-acting single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for a 50 mm bore and a 230 mm stroke. It delivers a robust 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for mid-range automation tasks. This specific SKU features a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (code A), providing enhanced resistance to corrosion and moisture for washdown or chemically aggressive environments.
The extruded aluminum barrel design omits external tie rods, yielding a compact footprint that mounts flush against machine frames while maintaining the standardized ISO 15552 mounting interface. Adjustable pneumatic cushioning at both ends allows technicians to fine-tune end-of-stroke deceleration via a set screw, minimizing mechanical shock when cycling loads at speed. Note that this particular configuration ships without a sensor magnet.

Where the Airtac SE50 Standard Cylinder SE50AX230 Is Used
Bottling Line Diverters
Utilizes the 982 N push force and SUS420J2 stainless rod to reliably pivot guide rails in wet beverage bottling lines, resisting washdown chemicals while handling 230 mm stroke transitions.
Corrugated Box Flap Folding
Drives the mechanical arms that fold large corrugated carton flaps at 30-800 mm/s, relying on the field-adjustable air cushions to soften impacts at the end of the 230 mm extension.
Pallet Stopper Gates
Acts as a rising stop barrier on outbound logistics conveyors, where the no-tie-rod profile allows flush mounting into tight framework and the 200 kgf maximum capacity halts heavy wooden pallets.
Is the Airtac SE50 Standard Cylinder SE50AX230 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, consider stepping down to a 40 mm bore if your application only requires 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, or scaling up to a 63 mm bore if you need the 1559 N output to move heavier payloads. This SE50AX230 is dimensionally interchangeable with other ISO 15552 cylinders, allowing a direct retrofit using existing mounting hardware like FA front flanges or TC center trunnions alongside its PT1/4 port. Because the 230 mm stroke creates an extended lever arm on the M16x1.5 rod thread during side-loaded movements, integrating an external guide rail is recommended to prevent rod-bearing bending and premature seal wear. Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost; if your process demands strict position holding without live pressure, explore the 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 SE50AX230 FAQ
The 50 mm bore generates 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, with an absolute maximum push capacity of 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operational speed range is 30-800 mm/s.
This specific SE50AX230 SKU does not include a built-in magnet, so it cannot support AirTAC CMSE reed or DMSE electronic sensors out of the box. If position detection is required, you would need the SE50X230-S variant (with the magnet) or utilize external limit switches.
