About the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32BX160
The AirTAC SE32BX160 is a double-acting single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for compact pneumatic actuation. It delivers 402 N of push force and 345 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, peaking at 82 kgf maximum push at 1.0 MPa. The extruded aluminum barrel lacks external tie rods, yielding a flush, corrosion-resistant exterior that simplifies flush mounting in tight machine envelopes.
This specific configuration utilizes a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod (code B), making it highly suitable for corrosive environments or washdown duty. It features field-adjustable pneumatic cushioning at both ends to decelerate the payload smoothly near the stroke limits. Note that this SKU lacks a built-in magnet, meaning it is not wired for CMSE or DMSE position sensing out of the box.

Where the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32BX160 Is Used
Lab Diagnostic Equipment
The SUS304 rod withstands chemical wipe-downs, while the 402 N push force accurately positions sample trays in automated medical analyzers.
Small Pouch Sealing
Delivers precise 160 mm stroke actuation for sealing jaws, using its adjustable end cushions to prevent impact damage at high cycling speeds.
PCB Handling Gates
The tie-rod-free extruded profile mounts flush to conveyor frames, using 345 N pull force to pivot diverter arms for electronics assembly lines.
Is the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32BX160 the Right Cylinder?
Select this 32 mm bore when your application requires 402 N push at 0.5 MPa but space precludes larger units. If you need less force, step down is not available as this is the smallest standard SE bore. If your load demands more force, stepping up to the 40 mm bore provides 628 N push at 0.5 MPa. The 160 mm stroke is well within the 1000 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, keeping it a stock-compatible dimension.
Because this model has a 160 mm stroke, the 12 mm rod and M10x1.25 thread can handle moderate side loads, but any heavy off-center load still requires an external guide to prevent rod-bearing bending. Remember that a standard SE does not hold its position when air is lost or exhausted; the piston will drift. For load-holding requirements, consider the BSE rod-lock variant. As a true ISO 15552 cylinder, it is dimensionally interchangeable with other ISO 15552 profile cylinders, sharing standard mounting accessories like LB foot or FA front flange.
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 SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32BX160 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore cylinder provides 402 N push and 345 N pull. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 563 N, with a maximum push of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a PT1/8 port, a 12 mm rod, and an M10x1.25 rod-end thread.
This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot host CMSE or DMSE sensors without modification. Dimensionally, it is built to the ISO 15552 standard, meaning it serves as a direct replacement for other ISO 15552 profile cylinders and shares standard mounting footprints.
