About the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32BX500S
The AirTAC SE32BX500S is a double-acting single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 32mm bore and 500mm stroke. It provides a 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance in washdown or chemically harsh environments. The square extruded aluminum barrel omits external tie rods, yielding a compact footprint that mounts flush against machine frames while preventing external corrosion traps.
Equipped with a built-in magnet (-S), this unit seamlessly integrates with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors for precise end-of-stroke detection. The field-adjustable air cushioning at both ends allows technicians to tune the end-of-stroke deceleration via a screw, softening hard impacts when cycling at speeds up to 800 mm/s.

Where the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32BX500S Is Used
Laboratory Washdown Station
The SUS304 stainless rod withstands daily chemical washdowns, while the 402 N push force reliably actuates spray nozzles and shield doors in sterile testing environments.
Flow Wrapper Film Gate
With a 500mm stroke and CMSE sensor compatibility, this cylinder precisely opens and closes packaging film gates on continuous flow wrappers operating at up to 800 mm/s.
Bottle Sorting Diverter
The compact tie-rod-free extruded profile mounts flush to conveyor frames, using its 345 N retract force to smoothly divert small bottles between packaging lanes.
Is the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32BX500S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, evaluate your force requirements carefully: stepping down is not an option as 32mm is the smallest standard SE bore, but stepping up to the 40mm bore yields a higher 628 N push at 0.5 MPa if your payload demands it. Because this is a double-acting cylinder, it relies on continuous air pressure to move and hold the load; if air is lost or the valve is centered, the piston will drift and cannot maintain position. For secure load holding without live pressure, consider the BSE rod-lock variant or an external pilot-operated check valve.
At a 500mm stroke, the 12mm rod and rod-bearing face an increased bending moment under side loads. To prevent premature seal wear and bearing failure, guide the load externally and avoid using the cylinder itself to absorb lateral thrust. As a dimensionally interchangeable ISO 15552 cylinder, this model serves as a direct replacement for other ISO 15552 profile cylinders, matching the PT1/8 port, 500mm stroke, and standard mounting interface.

- ✓ 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 SE32BX500S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 32mm bore cylinder provides 402 N of push force and 345 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 563 N. The maximum push force is 82 kgf when operated at the 1.0 MPa pressure limit.
Yes, the cylinder features field-adjustable air cushioning at both ends. A screw mechanism lets you tune the exhaust restriction to decelerate the piston smoothly near the stroke ends, preventing hard impacts when cycling at high speeds.
