About the Airtac SE50 Standard Cylinder SE50AX260
The AirTAC SE50AX260 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 50 mm bore and 260 mm stroke. It generates 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and 1374 N at 0.7 MPa. Equipped with a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod, this unit is purpose-built for corrosive environments and washdown duty, resisting rust where standard carbon steel rods fail.
The extruded aluminum barrel lacks external tie rods, yielding a compact footprint that mounts flush against machine frames while preventing dirt accumulation. Field-adjustable air cushions at both ends allow technicians to tune end-of-stroke deceleration, smoothly damping kinetic energy without relying on fixed rubber bumpers. Note this specific SKU omits the position-sensing magnet.

Where the Airtac SE50 Standard Cylinder SE50AX260 Is Used
Bottle Rinser Gripper
Utilizes the 982 N extend force and SUS420J2 stainless rod to grip and invert containers through a chemical washdown cycle without corroding.
Packaging Lane Diverter
Leverages the 260 mm stroke to push product cartons cleanly between sorting lanes at speeds up to 800 mm/s.
CNC Fixture Clamp
Provides repeatable 825 N retraction force to hold aluminum workpieces firmly in place during light machining operations.
Is the Airtac SE50 Standard Cylinder SE50AX260 the Right Cylinder?
This 50 mm bore delivers 982 N push at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less force, the 40 mm neighbor provides 628 N; if you need more power, stepping up to the 63 mm bore yields 1559 N. Because the stroke is 260 mm, the unsupported piston rod is subject to bending under lateral loads—always pair this cylinder with an external guide to prevent rod-bearing wear.
As a true ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it serves as a drop-in replacement for any standard ISO 15552 unit, sharing identical mounting interface dimensions and PT1/4 ports. Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve centers; if your process must hold a vertical load safely without live pressure, integrate an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
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 SE50AX260 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it provides 982 N push and 825 N pull. At 0.7 MPa the push force is 1374 N, and the maximum push is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The port size is PT1/4.
No. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not act as a brake. If position holding is required upon air loss, you must use an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
