About the Airtac SE50 Standard Cylinder SE50BX160S
The AirTAC SE50BX160S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. It features a 50 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, and a SUS304 stainless steel rod (code B) engineered for corrosive or washdown environments. The extruded aluminum barrel omits external tie rods, yielding a compact footprint that mounts flush against machine frames while resisting surface corrosion.
Field-adjustable pneumatic cushioning at both ends allows technicians to tune end-of-stroke deceleration via a set screw, protecting tooling from hard impacts. Because this unit includes the -S magnet code, it is fully wired for AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic position sensing. The standard PT1/4 port and M16x1.5 rod thread ensure seamless integration into existing ISO 15552 dimensional layouts.

Where the Airtac SE50 Standard Cylinder SE50BX160S Is Used
Stainless Flow Wrapper
Drives the end-seal jaw on a continuous-motion flow wrapper, using the 982 N push force and SUS304 rod to withstand daily high-pressure chemical washdowns in food packaging.
CNC Pallet Clamp
Actuates a secondary pneumatic vise on a machining center, relying on the 160 mm stroke and DMSE electronic sensors to confirm jaw closure before the spindle starts.
Bottle Divert Gate
Pivots a routing gate on a high-speed bottling conveyor, where the adjustable end cushions soften the 160 mm stroke reversal to prevent glass bottle tipping.
Is the Airtac SE50 Standard Cylinder SE50BX160S the Right Cylinder?
Generating 982 N push at 0.5 MPa, this 50 mm bore fits squarely between the 40 mm bore (628 N push) and the 63 mm bore (1559 N push). If your payload drops below 600 N, step down to the 40 mm to save space; if it exceeds 1200 N, step up to the 63 mm bore. This SE50BX160S uses a SUS304 rod for washdown duty, but note that a plain double-acting cylinder cannot hold a load if air pressure drops or the valve centers—the piston will drift. For dead-stop holding, pair it with a BSE rod lock or an external pilot-operated check valve. At 160 mm stroke, side loading is moderate, but always verify the rod bearing load and use an external guide if the mechanism twists. To retrofit, match the 50 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, and your specific mounting accessory (like FA or TC) for a direct replacement.
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 SE50BX160S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 50 mm bore cylinder provides 982 N push and 825 pull force. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 1374 N. The maximum rated push is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating speed ranges from 30-800 mm/s.
Yes. The SE50BX160S is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 standards. You can drop it into existing mounting hardware matching the 50 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, and PT1/4 port. The included -S magnet also allows direct fitting of AirTAC CMSE reed or DMSE electronic sensors.
