About the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32BX160S
The AirTAC SE32BX160S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for compact automation. It features a 32 mm bore and a 160 mm stroke, generating 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminum barrel design omits external tie rods, yielding a smooth, corrosion-resistant body that mounts flush in tight spaces. This specific configuration includes a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior resistance in washdown or corrosive settings, alongside a built-in magnet for non-contact position sensing.
Field-adjustable air cushions at both ends allow you to tune end-of-stroke deceleration via a set screw, preventing hard impacts when cycling at speeds up to 800 mm/s. The integrated magnet directly supports AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors, which seat neatly into the sensor grooves machined on three sides of the body. This cylinder is a dimensionally interchangeable direct replacement for any ISO 15552 cylinder, streamlining retrofits without altering mounting footprints.

Where the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32BX160S Is Used
PCB Depaneling Saw
Drives the linear cutting blade of an electronic PCB depaneling machine, utilizing the 160 mm stroke and SUS304 rod to resist flux residue while delivering 402 N of precise push force.
Pouch Sealing Jaws
Actuates the sealing jaws on a vertical form-fill-seal pouch machine, where the compact tie-rod-free profile fits into the narrow frame and the adjustable cushion softens the 800 mm/s cycle stop.
Lab Sample Dispenser
Moves a pipetting head across a laboratory diagnostic carousel, relying on the DMSE electronic sensor signal and the corrosion-proof stainless rod to withstand daily chemical washdowns.
Is the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32BX160S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore model, evaluate your force margins: the smaller bore sizes are not available, but stepping up to the 40 mm bore increases your 0.5 MPa push force to 628 N. The SE32BX160S provides 402 N push and 345 N pull at 0.5 MPa, peaking at 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because this is a single-rod double-acting cylinder, it will not hold a load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered—the piston will drift. For position holding without live pressure, consider the BSE rod-lock variant. For this 160 mm stroke, the 12 mm rod and M10x1.25 thread handle moderate side loads, but if your mounting creates a long lever arm, an external guide is recommended to prevent rod-bearing bending.
To match this cylinder for an ISO 15552 retrofit, specify the 32 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, and the -S magnet option. The SUS304 rod material (code B) is ideal for food processing or chemical exposure, while the adjustable cushioning ensures smooth operation across varying payloads.
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 SE32BX160S FAQ
