About the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X255S
The AirTAC SE32X255S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for compact automation. It delivers a 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa across a 255 mm stroke, utilizing a 12 mm hard-chrome piston rod and an M10x1.25 thread. The square extruded aluminum barrel omits external tie rods, yielding a flush, corrosion-resistant body that mounts cleanly in tight machine envelopes.
Equipped with a built-in magnet (-S), this unit directly interfaces with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors for precise end-of-stroke detection. Field-adjustable pneumatic cushioning at both ends allows technicians to tune deceleration via a set screw, softening hard end stops during high-speed 30-800 mm/s cycling. This is a genuine AirTAC component, fully dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 standards.

Where the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X255S Is Used
PCB Router Gantry Positioning
Drives a light-load Z-axis gantry on a printed circuit board routing machine, where the 402 N push force reliably plunges the spindle and the flush profile barrel prevents dust accumulation in tight electronics enclosures.
Carton Flap Sealing Arm
Actuates a folding arm on a continuous-motion carton sealer, utilizing the 255 mm stroke to clear varying box widths while the -S magnet triggers DMSE electronic sensors for a timed glue application.
Lab Sample Dispenser
Moves a pipetting head across a 255 mm span in an automated liquid handling station, relying on the field-adjustable end cushions to prevent jarring stops that could disturb sensitive reagents during 30-800 mm/s travel.
Is the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X255S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting the SE32X255S is optimal when a 402 N extend force at 0.5 MPa fits your payload, but stepping up to the 50 mm bore yields 982 N for heavier clamps, while dropping to a smaller unit sacrifices thrust. Because this is a 255 mm stroke, the unsupported 12 mm rod carries an increased risk of bending under side loads; an external guide bearing is strongly recommended to prevent premature seal wear. As a standard double-acting cylinder, it does not hold position if air pressure is lost—if gravity or drift must be prevented, consider the BSE rod-lock variant. This model features a PT1/8 port and the -S magnet for sensor integration.
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 SE32X255S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore cylinder provides a 402 N push and 345 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 563 N, and the maximum push is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates at speeds of 30-800 mm/s and uses a PT1/8 port.
Yes, the SE32X255S is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 standards, meaning it shares the exact mounting footprint, pilot port locations, and rod-end thread (M10x1.25) of competing ISO 15552 profile cylinders for a direct drop-in retrofit.
