About the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X120
The AirTAC SE32X120 is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for compact pneumatics. It generates 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and features a 120 mm stroke. Because the square extruded aluminum barrel eliminates external tie rods, the body is highly corrosion-resistant and mounts flush against machine frames without protruding hardware.
This 32 mm bore unit includes field-adjustable pneumatic cushioning at both ends, allowing you to tune end-of-stroke deceleration via a screw rather than relying on a fixed bumper. Note that this specific SKU is supplied without a sensor magnet, so position detection is not supported out of the box.

Where the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X120 Is Used
PCB Router Gantry
Drives the Z-axis plunge on a desktop PCB routing machine, where 402 N push at 0.5 MPa is sufficient to cut isolation channels in FR4 fiberglass boards.
Carton Flap Folder
Actuates a mechanical arm to fold minor flaps on small pharmaceutical cartons, utilizing the 120 mm stroke to clear the product feed lane during retraction.
Lab Dispenser Valve
Opens and closes a precision dosing valve for reagent dispensing, benefiting from the tie-rod-free extruded barrel that prevents chemical pooling on the body.
Is the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X120 the Right Cylinder?
If 402 N push at 0.5 MPa is too much for your fixture, the next size down is the 25 mm bore class offering 246 N. If you need more power, stepping up to the 40 mm bore yields 628 N. This SE32X120 uses a PT1/8 port and a 12 mm hard-chrome plated rod. Because the stroke is 120 mm, side-load stress on the rod bearing is moderate, but always ensure the load is guided externally to prevent uneven wear.
As a true ISO 15552 cylinder, it is dimensionally interchangeable with other ISO 15552 profile cylinders, making it a drop-in retrofit for existing foot or flange mounting hardware. Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air is removed; if your application requires dead-stop holding, you must add an external rod lock like the BSE series.
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 SE32X120 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore cylinder provides 402 N of push force and 345 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 563 N. The absolute maximum push force is 82 kgf when operated at the 1.0 MPa pressure limit.
Yes, the SE32X120 is built to the ISO 15552 / VDMA 24562 dimensional standard, making it a drop-in replacement for any standard 32 mm bore ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It uses a PT1/8 port and M10x1.25 rod thread, but note this specific SKU lacks the internal magnet required for CMSE or DMSE position sensors.
