About the Airtac SE50 Standard Cylinder SE50AX5S
The AirTAC SE50AX5S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for demanding washdown and corrosive environments. Featuring a 50mm bore and a 5mm stroke, it generates 982N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The cylinder utilizes a SUS420J2 stainless steel piston rod (material code A) to resist rust in food processing or chemical washdown settings, while the extruded aluminum barrel eliminates external tie rods for a compact, flush-mounting footprint.
This unit includes a built-in magnet (code S) designed to interface seamlessly with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic position sensors. The field-adjustable air cushioning at both stroke ends allows technicians to fine-tune end-of-stroke deceleration via a set screw, softening hard mechanical stops during high-speed 30-800 mm/s operations. It operates reliably between 0.15-1.0 MPa and features a PT1/4 port and M16x1.5 rod-end thread.

Where the Airtac SE50 Standard Cylinder SE50AX5S Is Used
Lab Dispensing Valve
Provides precise 982N actuation to open and close a 5mm stroke dispensing nozzle in chemical analytical equipment, leveraging the SUS420J2 rod for corrosion resistance.
Pouch Sealing Jaw
Drives a short-stroke heat sealing jaw in a packaging line, using the integrated magnet with DMSE sensors to confirm jaw closure and the adjustable cushion to protect the seal bar.
PCB Clamping Fixture
Applies controlled holding force on a printed circuit board during automated testing, where the compact tie-rod-free profile allows dense multi-actuator mounting.
Is the Airtac SE50 Standard Cylinder SE50AX5S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, note that the 50mm bore provides 982N push at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less force, stepping down to the 40mm bore yields 628N push, whereas moving up to the 63mm bore provides 1559N push for heavier loads. Because the 5mm stroke is extremely short, the rigid M16x1.5 rod thread handles side loading well without requiring an external guide. Remember that the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of travel; it does not hold a load if air pressure is lost. For position holding, consider a BSE rod lock variant. As a true ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it serves as a dimensionally interchangeable direct replacement sharing standardized mounting interface dimensions.
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.
