About the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X260S
The AirTAC SE32X260S is a double-acting single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for compact pneumatics. It delivers 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and utilizes a 12 mm hard-chrome rod with an M10x1.25 thread. The square extruded aluminum barrel eliminates external tie rods, yielding a flush-mount body that resists corrosion and fits neatly into tight machine envelopes.
Equipped with a built-in magnet (-S), this unit supports AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors for precise end-of-stroke detection. The field-adjustable pneumatic cushioning at both ends allows you to dial out hard end-stop impacts at operating speeds up to 800 mm/s. This is a genuine deceleration cushion, not a static bumper.

Where the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X260S Is Used
PCB Drill Bit Changer
Drives the linear tool-swapping carousel in a CNC PCB router, using the 260 mm stroke to clear the spindle during automated bit changes.
Lab Sample Dispenser
Actuates a multi-port rotary valve in an automated blood analyzer, relying on the 402 N push force to seat the ceramic valve rotor tightly.
Small Part Ejector
Pushes rejected surface-mount components off a reflow oven conveyor belt, utilizing the integrated magnet for DMSE position confirmation.
Is the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X260S the Right Cylinder?
At 402 N push (0.5 MPa), the 32 mm bore is ideal for lighter loads, but if your assembly requires more thrust, stepping up to the 50 mm bore yields 982 N. Conversely, dropping down is not an option as 32 mm is the smallest standard SE footprint. Because this is a 260 mm stroke, the unsupported 12 mm rod is susceptible to bending under lateral loads; always pair it with an external guide rail to prevent premature seal wear.
As a dimensionally interchangeable ISO 15552 cylinder, it serves as a drop-in replacement for other standard profile cylinders. The base mounting matches the standard footprint, the port is PT1/8, and the -S magnet is already integrated for your CMSE or DMSE switches. Remember that a standard SE does not hold position unpowered—use a BSE rod lock if your application requires fail-safe load holding.
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 SE32X260S FAQ
The SE32X260S provides 402 N push and 345 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 563 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum push of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operating speed ranges from 30-800 mm/s.
No, the standard SE cylinder does not hold position when air is lost or the valve is centered; the piston will drift. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end and is not a brake. For fail-safe load holding, consider the AirTAC BSE rod lock variant.
