The AirTAC SE50 Standard Cylinder SE50BX400 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 / VDMA 24562 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 400mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its standardized mounting interface makes it interchangeable with other ISO 15552 cylinders at the mounting interface.
The AirTAC SE50BX400 is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for a 400 mm stroke. It features a robust square extruded aluminum barrel that entirely eliminates external tie rods, yielding a compact, corrosion-resistant body that mounts flush against machine frames. Equipped with a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod (material code B), this unit is purpose-built for corrosive environments and washdown duty.
Delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and 1374 N at 0.7 MPa, it integrates field-adjustable pneumatic cushioning at both ends. This allows technicians to fine-tune the end-of-stroke deceleration via a set screw, effectively softening hard mechanical impacts during high-speed 30-800 mm/s operations. Note that this specific SKU lacks a built-in magnet, meaning it is not ready out-of-the-box for CMSE or DMSE position sensing.

Drives the product pusher infeed on a stainless food packaging line, utilizing the 982 N thrust and SUS304 rod to withstand daily high-pressure washdowns.
Actuates the lane diverter gate over a 400 mm travel distance, using adjustable cushioning to softly stop the high-speed diverting arm without jarring the conveyor frame.
Moves delicate fluid dispensing heads across testing stations, where the corrosion-resistant SUS304 rod prevents contamination from chemical reagents.
When sizing this actuator, consider stepping down to the 40 mm bore if your load requires only 628 N of push at 0.5 MPa, or moving up to the 63 mm bore if you need a substantially higher 1559 N thrust. Because this is a 400 mm stroke, the unsupported rod length increases the risk of side-load bending at the rod bearing; integrating an external guide rail is highly recommended to prevent premature seal wear. As a dimensionally interchangeable ISO 15552 cylinder, it serves as a direct replacement for other ISO 15552 profile cylinders, utilizing the standard PT1/4 port and standard mounting hardware. Remember that the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end and will not hold a load if air pressure is lost.
Quick checklist
The SE50BX400 generates 982 N of push force and 825 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 1374 N, with a maximum push capacity of 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a PT1/4 port and a 20 mm rod with an M16x1.5 thread.
Yes, the SE50BX400 is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 standards. You can drop it in as a retrofit for other ISO 15552 profile cylinders using the same mounting accessories and footprint, without needing to drill new holes.
