About the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X160
The AirTAC SE32X160 is a double-acting single-rod profile cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Built to the ISO 15552 standard, its square extruded aluminum barrel omits external tie rods, yielding a compact footprint that mounts flush against machine frames while resisting corrosion.
This 32 mm bore unit features a 160 mm stroke and a PT1/8 port. Field-adjustable air cushioning at both end caps lets technicians dial in the deceleration of the 12 mm rod via a set screw, softening hard end stops without relying on fixed rubber bumpers. This SKU ships without a sensor magnet, so position detection is not natively integrated out of the box.

Where the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X160 Is Used
PCB Depaneling Gate
Actuates a routing gate on an electronics assembly line, where the 402 N push force securely parts printed circuit boards without stressing the 160 mm stroke path.
Carton Flap Folder
Drives a compact folding arm on a packaging conveyor, utilizing the 160 mm stroke to tuck corrugated flaps at high cycling speeds within tight machine envelopes.
Lab Sample Ejector
Pushes prepared test tubes out of a centrifuge carousel, where the smooth extruded profile barrel prevents particulate buildup in clean laboratory environments.
Is the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X160 the Right Cylinder?
Stepping down from this 402 N push output is not an option within the SE range, as 32 mm is the smallest available bore. If your fixture requires more thrust, moving up to the 40 mm bore yields 628 N of push at 0.5 MPa. Because the 160 mm stroke is substantial for a 32 mm bore, the unsupported piston rod is susceptible to bending under side loads; utilizing an external guide rail prevents premature rod-bearing wear.
As a true ISO 15552 profile cylinder, this unit is dimensionally interchangeable with other ISO 15552 cylinders, allowing you to reuse existing mounting hardware like LB foot brackets or FA front flanges without drilling new holes. Note that an unmodified SE cylinder will drift and cannot hold a load if air pressure is lost; apply a BSE rod lock for fail-safe positioning.
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 SE32X160 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, with a maximum push capacity of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operational speed range is 30-800 mm/s.
Yes, the SE32X160 is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, meaning it shares the exact same mounting footprint, port size (PT1/8), and rod thread (M10x1.25) as other standard ISO 15552 profile cylinders. You can drop it directly into existing setups.
