The AirTAC Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X170 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 / VDMA 24562 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 170mm 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 SE32X170 is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for compact automation. Delivering a 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa, it utilizes a 32 mm bore and a 170 mm stroke to execute precise linear motion. The square extruded aluminum barrel eliminates external tie rods, yielding a flush, corrosion-resistant housing that simplifies bracket mounting in tight machine cells.
This specific SKU is configured without a position sensor magnet, relying on mechanical end-of-travel positioning. To protect the piston at cycle endpoints, field-adjustable pneumatic cushioning at both ends allows technicians to tune the exhaust bleed and soften the 27 mm cushion zone, preventing harsh impact at operating speeds up to 800 mm/s.

Drives a 402 N push to shuttle microplate carriages between reagent stations, capitalizing on the compact 32 mm profile to fit narrow diagnostic enclosures.
Extends 170 mm to fold and press lightweight packaging flaps, using the adjustable end cushions to prevent jarring stops on high-speed flow wrappers.
Actuates a diverter gate on a printed circuit board routing conveyor, where the tie-rod-free extruded body mounts flush to the machine frame without snagging wiring.
Selecting the SE32X170 is optimal when a 402 N extend force at 0.5 MPa is required within a compact footprint. If your application demands less power, stepping down is not an option as 32 mm is the smallest standard bore; conversely, if you need greater thrust, stepping up to the 40 mm bore provides a 628 N push. Because this unit lacks the -S magnet, it cannot host AirTAC CMSE or DMSE electronic switches; if your sequence requires positional feedback, specify an SE32X170S instead.
Operating on standard PT1/8 ports and an M10x1.25 rod thread, this cylinder is dimensionally interchangeable with any ISO 15552 cylinder, ensuring a drop-in retrofit for existing mounting hardware. Note that a plain SE cylinder cannot hold a load when air pressure is lost; if your 170 mm stroke application requires static holding during an exhaust or power failure, integrate an external pilot-operated check valve or transition to the AirTAC BSE rod-lock variant. Furthermore, while the 12 mm rod handles standard axial loads, any stroke exceeding 300 mm necessitates an external guide to prevent rod-bearing bending under side loads.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore cylinder provides a 402 N push and a 345 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push increases to 563 N, and the maximum rated push is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operational speed range is 30-800 mm/s.
Yes. The SE32X170 adheres strictly to the ISO 15552 / VDMA 24562 profile standard, making it dimensionally interchangeable with other ISO 15552 cylinders. It uses a PT1/8 port and shares standard mounting interfaces, allowing a drop-in retrofit without modifying the machine bed.
