About the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X160S
The AirTAC SE32X160S is a double-acting single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for compact automation, delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Its square extruded aluminum barrel eliminates external tie rods, yielding a flush, corrosion-resistant body that mounts cleanly in tight machine envelopes. The integrated -S magnet enables direct position tracking with CMSE reed or DMSE electronic sensors.
Field-adjustable pneumatic cushioning at both ends allows technicians to tune end-of-stroke deceleration via a set screw, softening hard impacts when cycling at speeds up to 30-800 mm/s. With a 12 mm hard-chrome rod and M10x1.25 thread, this 32 mm bore unit provides robust actuation for lighter-duty machinery without the bulk of larger bores.

Where the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X160S Is Used
PCB Depaneling Router
Provides the 402 N push stroke to clamp circuit boards firmly during automated routing and depaneling processes without damaging delicate substrates.
Small Carton Flap Folder
Extends 160 mm to fold minor flaps on small packaging lines, using adjustable cushioning to prevent harsh slapping at high cycle rates.
Lab Sample Dispenser
Utilizes the built-in magnet with DMSE electronic sensors to verify exact piston position for precise fluid dispensing in laboratory automation.
Is the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X160S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting the SE32X160S is ideal when your application requires around 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa within a 160 mm stroke. If you need less force and a smaller footprint, the neighbouring 32 mm bore is the smallest available option, meaning you would step up to the 40 mm bore for heavier loads, which provides 628 N push at 0.5 MPa. Because this is a double-acting cylinder, it relies on continuous air pressure to move; it will not hold a load if air is lost or the valve is centered, so a BSE rod lock variant is required for strict position holding.
For retrofitting, this model is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, meaning it drops directly into existing footprints using standard mounting hardware and PT1/8 ports. At 160 mm of travel, the 12 mm rod handles the stroke easily, though any long-stroke setup pushing heavy lateral loads should still incorporate an external guide to protect the rod bearing.
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 SE32X160S FAQ
The 32 mm bore provides a push force of 402 N and a pull force of 345 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 563 N. The maximum push force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
Yes, the SE32X160S is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552. It shares the standardized mounting interface and PT1/8 port size, allowing it to serve as a drop-in replacement for other ISO 15552 profile cylinders using existing mounting brackets.
