About the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32BX400SH
The AirTAC SE32BX400SH is a double-acting single-rod profile cylinder built to the ISO 15552 standard, featuring a 32 mm bore and a 400 mm stroke. It delivers a push force of 402 N at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for lighter-duty linear actuation tasks. This specific configuration pairs a SUS304 stainless steel rod with a high-temperature FKM seal, expanding the operating temperature range from -20 to +150 C for corrosive or washdown environments.
The extruded aluminum barrel design omits external tie rods, yielding a compact footprint that mounts flush against machine frames while resisting corrosion. Integrated sensor grooves on three sides of the body accept CMSE reed or DMSE electronic switches, leveraging the built-in -S magnet for precise end-of-stroke detection. Furthermore, the field-adjustable pneumatic cushioning at both ends allows technicians to tune the end-of-stroke deceleration via a set screw, softening impacts when cycling at speed.

Where the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32BX400SH Is Used
Lab Sample Dispensing
Ideal for pushing sample racks in diagnostic equipment, leveraging the 402 N push force and SUS304 rod to withstand chemical washdowns.
Film Roll Tensioning
Maintains precise tension on packaging webs across a 400 mm travel distance, using the FKM seal to resist heat from adjacent sealing jaws.
Small Parts Diversion
Actuates lightweight routing gates on conveyor lines, where the compact tie-rod-free profile mounts flush and the -S magnet confirms stroke endpoints.
Is the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32BX400SH the Right Cylinder?
Selecting the SE32BX400SH is ideal when a 400 mm stroke requires a compact 32 mm bore, but sizing must account for lateral forces. Stepping down is not an option as 32 mm is the smallest standard SE bore. If your application needs more thrust, stepping up to the 50 mm bore yields a 982 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 40 mm bore provides a 628 N push at 0.5 MPa as a middle ground. Because this model utilizes a 400 mm stroke, the 12 mm rod and internal bearing face increased bending moments under side loads; an external guide rail should be installed to prevent premature seal wear and rod deflection.
As a true ISO 15552 profile cylinder, this unit is dimensionally interchangeable with other ISO 15552 cylinders, allowing direct retrofits using existing mounting hardware like LB foot brackets or FA front flanges without machining. Note that while the adjustable air cushion decelerates the piston near stroke end, it does not function as a locking device; the piston will drift if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered. If the application demands positive load holding without live pressure, consider the BSE rod-lock variant or an external pilot-operated check valve.
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 SE32BX400SH FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore cylinder provides a push force of 402 N and a pull force of 345 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 563 N, with a maximum push capacity of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The FKM seal allows operation from -20 to +150 C, and the speed range is 30-800 mm/s.
Yes, it is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 and will drop in to existing mounting footprints using the standard PT1/8 port. However, it cannot hold a vertical load when air is removed; the adjustable cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and does not act as a brake. For position holding, you would need a BSE rod lock variant.
