The AirTAC Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X160SH is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 / VDMA 24562 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 160mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its standardized mounting interface makes it a drop-in replacement for other ISO 15552 cylinders in automation lines.
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.

Rod material: carbon steel (blank) / SUS420J2 (A) / SUS304 (B). Seals: TPU (blank) / FKM high-temp (H) / NBR (N). Thread: PT (blank) / G. Mounting: Basic, LB, FA, FB, CA, CB, CR, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2. Related SE-family variants: SED (double rod), SEJ (adjustable stroke), BSE (rod lock), BSED (double-rod rod lock).
Withstands 150 C ambient heat near molding presses to eject small plastic parts using 402 N of push force without seal degradation.
Cycles at high speeds up to 800 mm/s to close lightweight pouch-sealing jaws, relying on adjustable cushioning to soften end-stop impacts.
Handles 160 mm stroke indexing inside high-temperature laboratory drying ovens where standard NBR seals would prematurely fail.
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
At 0.5 MPa it provides 402 N push and 345 N pull. At 0.7 MPa push increases to 563 N, with a maximum push of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa, and the FKM seal extends the temperature range to 150 C.
Yes, the SE32X160SH is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 standards, matching standard mounting footprints and port sizes. It features a built-in magnet compatible with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors for seamless integration.
