About the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X160SH
The AirTAC SE32X160SH is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for demanding environments. It generates 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa while utilizing a high-temperature FKM seal rated for continuous operation up to 150 C. The square extruded aluminum barrel omits external tie rods, yielding a compact footprint that mounts flush against machine frames while resisting corrosion.
Equipped with a built-in magnet (-S), this unit directly supports AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic position sensors without requiring external hardware. Field-adjustable pneumatic cushioning at both stroke ends allows you to dial out harsh end-stop impacts via a simple screw, extending service life in fast-cycling assemblies.

Where the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X160SH Is Used
Injection Mold Extraction
Withstands 150 C ambient heat near molding presses to eject small plastic parts using 402 N of push force without seal degradation.
Sealing Jaw Actuation
Cycles at high speeds up to 800 mm/s to close lightweight pouch-sealing jaws, relying on adjustable cushioning to soften end-stop impacts.
Lab Oven Conveyance
Handles 160 mm stroke indexing inside high-temperature laboratory drying ovens where standard NBR seals would prematurely fail.
Is the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X160SH the Right Cylinder?
If your assembly requires less push force, stepping down is not an option as 32 mm is the smallest standard SE bore. Conversely, if your load demands greater thrust, the next size up is the 40 mm bore, which provides 628 N of push at 0.5 MPa. Remember that a standard SE cylinder relies on live air pressure to hold its load; if the air supply drops or the valve centers, the piston will drift. For position-holding safety, consider the BSE rod-lock variant. Because this is a true ISO 15552 cylinder, it serves as a drop-in dimensional replacement for other ISO 15552 profile cylinders, utilizing the same mounting accessories and a PT1/8 port. With a 160 mm stroke, the unsupported rod length increases; for heavy offset loads, incorporate an external guide to prevent rod-bearing bending.
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.
