About the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X160SCB
The AirTAC SE32X160SCB is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for compact actuation. Delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it integrates a built-in magnet for non-contact position sensing. The square extruded aluminum barrel eliminates external tie rods, yielding a flush, corrosion-resistant housing that mounts seamlessly in tight machine envelopes.
Equipped with a CB double clevis mounting interface, this 32 mm bore unit accommodates pivoting loads. Field-adjustable pneumatic cushioning at both ends allows you to tune end-of-stroke deceleration via a set screw, protecting internal mechanics during high-speed 30-800 mm/s operations.

Where the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X160SCB Is Used
Textile Loom Tensioning
Drives the pivoting guide arms on a weaving loom, utilizing the CB double clevis mount to absorb angular misalignment while applying 402 N of precise thread tensioning force.
Carton Flap Folding
Actuates the mechanical folder plates on a case erecting machine, relying on the built-in magnet and DMSE electronic sensors to verify the 160 mm stroke completion before adhesive application.
Small Component Indexing
Pushes lightweight plastic parts into a machining fixture, using the adjustable pneumatic cushions to softly decelerate the 30-800 mm/s cycle and prevent part ejection.
Is the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X160SCB the Right Cylinder?
Selecting the SE32X160SCB is optimal when your application requires 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa within a 160 mm stroke. If you need less output, stepping down is not an option as 32 mm is the smallest standard bore. If your mechanism demands greater thrust, consider stepping up to the 40 mm bore, which provides 628 N of push at 0.5 MPa. Because this 160 mm stroke exceeds the 300 mm threshold, it is crucial to evaluate rod-bearing bending; an external guide is recommended to prevent excessive side-loading on the 12 mm piston rod.
This model is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 standards, serving as a drop-in replacement for other ISO 15552 cylinders without altering your mounting footprint. The CB double clevis accessory is ideal for articulating linkages. Note that a plain SE cylinder does not hold its position or load when air is lost or the valve is centered; the piston will drift. For load-holding safety, explore 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 SE32X160SCB FAQ
The 32 mm bore generates 402 N of push and 345 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, 563 N of push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates at speeds between 30 and 800 mm/s.
No. The SE32X160SCB is a standard double-acting cylinder and the piston will drift if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not act as a brake or lock. For true load holding, use the BSE rod lock variant.
