About the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X120S
The AirTAC SE32X120S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for compact pneumatic tasks. Delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it features a 32 mm bore and a 120 mm stroke. The square extruded aluminum barrel eliminates external tie rods, yielding a corrosion-resistant body that mounts flush against machine frames while freeing up valuable space.
This specific unit includes a built-in magnet (-S) for non-contact position sensing with AirTAC CMSE reed or DMSE electronic switches. To protect internal components during rapid cycling, it relies on field-adjustable air cushioning at both ends, allowing technicians to fine-tune end-of-stroke deceleration rather than absorbing harsh impacts with a fixed bumper.

Where the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X120S Is Used
PCB Drill Press Gating
Actuates the pneumatic gating valve on a PCB drilling line, using its 402 N thrust and 120 mm stroke to divert boards at 30-800 mm/s.
Carton Flap Folder
Folds small corrugated carton flaps prior to sealing, where the 345 N retract force and integrated CMSE sensor confirm the fold cycle.
Lab Sample Ejector
Pushes processed test tubes out of a centrifuge carousel, relying on the tie-rod-free profile to fit within the tight machine envelope.
Is the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X120S the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 32 mm bore when an application requires 402 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa. If your assembly needs less force, the smaller 32 mm profile is the starting point; stepping up to the 40 mm bore increases thrust to 628 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping down is not an option as this is the smallest standardized SE size. Since the 120 mm stroke exceeds 300 mm? No, at 120 mm the side-load risk is minimal, but always ensure the load is axially aligned to prevent rod-bearing wear.
As a dimensionally interchangeable ISO 15552 cylinder, it serves as a drop-in replacement for other standard profile cylinders. To match this exact configuration, specify the 32 mm bore, 120 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, and the -S magnet option. Remember that a standard SE does not hold a load if air pressure is lost; for critical position holding, consider the BSE rod lock variant.
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 SE32X120S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 402 N and the pull force is 345 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 563 N. The maximum push force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, a standard SE cylinder drifts when air is exhausted or pressure drops. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke ends and does not act as a brake. For position holding, use a BSE rod lock variant.
