About the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X260
The AirTAC SE32X260 is a double-acting single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for compact actuation, delivering a 402 N push at 0.5 MPa. Its square extruded aluminum barrel omits external tie rods, yielding a smooth, corrosion-resistant body that mounts flush against machine frames while freeing up valuable space. This design is dimensionally interchangeable with other ISO 15552 cylinders, ensuring a seamless retrofit.
This 32 mm bore unit features a 12 mm hard-chrome rod and a 27 mm adjustable air cushion at both ends. The cushioning is field-tuned via a setscrew to soften hard end-stops at operating speeds up to 30-800 mm/s. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet suffix, it is not equipped for CMSE or DMSE electronic position sensing out of the box.

Where the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X260 Is Used
PCB Depaneling Router
Provides the precise 402 N linear feed to plunge a router bit into assembled printed circuit boards, cleanly separating panels without stressing delicate surface-mount components.
Small Bottle Capping
Drives a torque head down onto plastic beverage bottles, using its 260 mm stroke to accommodate varying container heights on a high-speed filling line.
Lab Sample Ejection
Ejects processed test tubes from centrifuge carousels, utilizing the smooth profile barrel for easy washdown and the adjustable cushion to prevent fragile glass from cracking at stroke end.
Is the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X260 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting the SE32X260 is ideal when your application requires 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, stepping down to the 32 mm bore's nearest neighbor is not an option as it is the smallest size, but you can step up to the 40 mm bore for 628 N if your load demands more authority. As a standard double-acting cylinder, it will drift if air pressure is lost or the valve centers; it cannot hold a load statically without live pressure, so consider a BSE rod lock variant if fail-safe holding is mandatory.
With a 260 mm stroke, the unsupported 12 mm rod is susceptible to bending under side loads. To prevent premature seal wear and rod-bearing fatigue, mount an external guide rail to absorb any lateral forces. This model uses a PT1/8 port and can be fitted with standard ISO 15552 mounting accessories like FA or LB brackets.
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 SE32X260 FAQ
