Airtac SE63 Standard Cylinder SE63X980S
The AirTAC Airtac SE63 Standard Cylinder SE63X980S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 / VDMA 24562 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 980mm stroke, PT3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its standardized mounting interface makes it a drop-in replacement for other ISO 15552 cylinders in automation lines.

About the Airtac SE63 Standard Cylinder SE63X980S
The AirTAC SE63X980S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for long-stroke actuation. It delivers a robust 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a 63 mm bore and a 980 mm stroke. Because this stroke exceeds the standard 1500 mm maximum catalogue length for this bore, it is supplied as a non-standard, made-to-order configuration.
The extruded aluminum barrel omits external tie rods, yielding a compact, flush-mounting body that resists corrosion and simplifies bracket installation. Equipped with a built-in magnet (S option), the cylinder is fully compatible with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors for precise end-of-stroke detection. Field-adjustable air cushions at both ends allow technicians to tune deceleration and eliminate hard end-stop impacts.

Where the Airtac SE63 Standard Cylinder SE63X980S Is Used
Pallet Transfer Pusher
Pushes heavy loaded pallets between roller conveyor lanes using its 980 mm stroke and 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa.
Vertical Lift Gate
Actuates a 1-meter high security gate on a packaging line, using the built-in magnet to trigger DMSE electronic sensors at the open and closed positions.
Textile Beam Indexer
Shifts large textile warp beams laterally across a creel, relying on the adjustable air cushions to decelerate the heavy load smoothly at stroke end.
Is the Airtac SE63 Standard Cylinder SE63X980S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting the SE63X980S makes sense when your mechanism requires a 980 mm reach paired with mid-range thrust. If you need less force, stepping down to the 50 mm bore drops the 0.5 MPa push to 982 N, while stepping up to the 80 mm bore increases it to 2513 N. Because the 980 mm stroke is non-standard, expect a made-to-order lead time. The PT3/8 port and M16x1.5 rod thread match the standard 63 mm architecture.
At 980 mm, the unsupported rod mass introduces a significant bending moment on the front bearing. To prevent premature seal wear and rod deflection, you must use an external guide rail to support the load. Note that this cylinder relies on air pressure to move and hold; if air is lost, the piston will drift. For positive load holding, pair it with a BSE rod lock or an external pilot-operated check valve. It is dimensionally interchangeable with any ISO 15552 cylinder, ensuring a direct retrofit for existing mounting footprints.
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 SE63 Standard Cylinder SE63X980S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 63 mm bore cylinder provides 1559 N of push force and 1402 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 2182 N. The maximum push force is 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operational speed range is 30-800 mm/s.
No. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of the stroke; it does not lock the rod. If air pressure is lost, the piston will drift. For positive load holding, you need a BSE series rod lock cylinder or an external pilot-operated check valve.
