About the Airtac SE50 Standard Cylinder SE50BX500
The AirTAC SE50BX500 is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for a 500 mm stroke. It delivers a robust 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for demanding linear actuation tasks. This specific SKU features a SUS304 stainless steel rod (code B), directly targeting corrosive environments and washdown duty where standard carbon steel rods would fail.
Unlike traditional tie-rod designs, its extruded aluminum barrel lacks external tie rods, yielding a compact, flush-mounting profile that resists dirt buildup. The barrel integrates sensor grooves on three sides, though this specific unit ships without a magnet, meaning CMSE or DMSE electronic position sensors cannot be used without modification. Field-adjustable pneumatic cushioning at both ends allows you to tune end-of-stroke deceleration via a screw, softening hard mechanical stops during high-speed 30-800 mm/s cycles.

Where the Airtac SE50 Standard Cylinder SE50BX500 Is Used
Stainless Food Conveyor Divertor
Leveraging the SUS304 rod and 982 N push force, this cylinder reliably diverts packages on a washdown food-grade conveyor line over its 500 mm stroke.
Chemical Processing Gate Valve
The corrosion-resistant stainless steel rod actuates a 500 mm stroke gate valve in chemical plants, where exposure to caustic atmospheres would destroy standard rods.
Corrugated Box Flap Folder
Provides the precise 500 mm travel and 982 N force required to fold large corrugated cardboard flaps in high-speed automated packaging machinery.
Is the Airtac SE50 Standard Cylinder SE50BX500 the Right Cylinder?
At 0.5 MPa, this 50 mm bore provides 982 N of push force. If your load requires less force, stepping down to the 40 mm bore yields 628 N, whereas moving up to the 63 mm bore provides 1559 N for heavier payloads. Because this is a 500 mm stroke, the unsupported rod length increases susceptibility to bending under side loads; utilizing an external guide rail is strongly recommended to prevent premature rod-bearing wear.
For retrofitting, this cylinder is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, serving as a direct replacement for other ISO 15552 cylinders. Ensure you match the PT1/4 port, the M16x1.5 rod-end thread, and your required mounting accessory. Note that a plain SE cylinder does not hold its position if air pressure is lost; if your application requires static holding without live pressure, consider 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 SE50BX500 FAQ
The SE50BX500 delivers 982 N push and 825 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 1374 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operating speed range is 30-800 mm/s.
No, this specific SE50BX500 SKU does not include a built-in magnet. To use AirTAC CMSE (reed) or DMSE (electronic) position sensors, you would need the -S magnet option. The cylinder still features the standard ISO 15552 mounting interface and adjustable air cushions at both ends.
