About the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X160H
The AirTAC SE32X160H is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for high-temperature pneumatics. Equipped with a Viton (FKM) seal, it withstands operating environments up to 150 C, far exceeding the standard 70 C limit. Generating 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore unit is built for compact, heat-sensitive machinery.
Its square extruded aluminum barrel eliminates external tie rods, yielding a flush, corrosion-resistant profile that simplifies flush mounting and sensor placement. The field-adjustable pneumatic cushioning at both ends allows technicians to tune end-of-stroke deceleration via a set screw, softening hard impacts without relying on a fixed rubber bumper. This specific SKU lacks a built-in magnet, so it is not equipped for CMSE or DMSE position sensing out of the box.

Where the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X160H Is Used
Injection Mold Ejection
Suitable for ejecting hot plastic parts from injection molds where ambient heat degrades standard rubber seals, utilizing the 150 C FKM Viton compound and 402 N push force.
Lab Drying Ovens
Automates door handling and sample tray indexing inside industrial drying ovens, operating reliably at elevated temperatures where standard NBR cylinders would fail.
Heat Shrink Wrapper
Actuates film cutting and sealing jaws on shrink-wrap machinery, handling the 160 mm stroke and localized radiant heat without seal degradation.
Is the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X160H the Right Cylinder?
Stepping down to the next smaller standard ISO bore is not an option for this series, but stepping up to a 40 mm bore raises the 0.5 MPa push force to 628 N if your 160 mm stroke application requires greater thrust. Keep in mind that a standard SE cylinder does not hold its position when air is exhausted or a valve centers; the piston will drift, so a BSE rod lock is required for fail-safe load holding.
Because this model features a 160 mm stroke, the 12 mm rod and its M10x1.25 thread experience increased leverage forces during extension. For side-loaded applications, utilizing an external guide rail is recommended to prevent rod-bearing bending and premature seal wear. It serves as a dimensionally interchangeable drop-in replacement for any ISO 15552 cylinder, utilizing a PT1/8 port and standard mounting hardware.
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 SE32X160H FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder generates 402 N push and 345 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because it uses a Viton (FKM) seal, its operating temperature ranges from -20 C to 150 C.
Yes, the SE32X160H is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 standards, meaning it shares the exact mounting footprint, port locations, and rod thread size for a direct drop-in retrofit.
