The AirTAC SE63 Standard Cylinder SE63AX160S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 / VDMA 24562 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 160mm stroke, PT3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its standardized mounting interface makes it interchangeable with other ISO 15552 cylinders at the mounting interface.
The AirTAC SE63AX160S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder delivering 1559 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and 2182 N at 0.7 MPa. It features a 63 mm bore, a 160 mm stroke, and a Ø20 mm piston rod. The code "A" designates a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod, making this unit highly suitable for corrosive or washdown environments where a standard carbon steel rod would degrade.
Built to the VDMA 24562 standard, this cylinder uses a square extruded aluminum barrel without external tie rods, keeping the body compact and corrosion-resistant while allowing flush mounting. The "S" suffix indicates a built-in magnet for non-contact position sensing using CMSE reed or DMSE electronic switches. Field-adjustable air cushioning at both ends allows you to tune end-of-stroke deceleration, minimizing impact wear in high-speed cycles.

Rod material: carbon steel (blank) / SUS420J2 (A) / SUS304 (B). Seals: TPU (blank) / FKM high-temp (H) / NBR (N). Thread: PT (blank) / G. Mounting: Basic, LB, FA, FB, CA, CB, CR, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2. Related SE-family variants: SED (double rod), SEJ (adjustable stroke), BSE (rod lock), BSED (double-rod rod lock).
Provides 1559 N of push at 0.5 MPa to close sealing jaws on continuous flow wrappers, with the SUS420J2 rod resisting washdown moisture during sanitation cycles.
Actuates a 160 mm routing gate on a packaging conveyor, using the built-in magnet and DMSE sensor to confirm gate position for the safety controller.
Drives a 160 mm stroke plunger to seat sample carousels in laboratory centrifuges, where the stainless rod prevents corrosion from chemical spills.
If your application requires less force, stepping down to the 50 mm bore yields 982 N of push at 0.5 MPa. For heavier loads, stepping up to the 80 mm bore provides 2513 N. This 160 mm stroke falls well within the 1500 mm maximum, keeping the package compact. The PT3/8 port and M16x1.5 rod thread match the standard 63 mm ISO 15552 interface.
Because this is a double-acting cylinder, it relies on continuous air pressure to hold a load; if air is lost or the valve is centered, the piston will drift. For applications requiring true position holding without live pressure, consider the BSE series rod lock. Additionally, the SUS420J2 rod handles side loads well, but any stroke over 300 mm should use an external guide to prevent rod-bearing bending.
Quick checklist
The SE63AX160S delivers 1559 N push and 1402 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 2182 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a PT3/8 port.
Yes, the SE63AX160S is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 / VDMA 24562 standards. You can drop it in as a replacement for other ISO 15552 profile cylinders using your existing mounting hardware, provided the 63 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, and PT3/8 port match your current footprint.
