About the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X280
The AirTAC SE32X280 is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered to deliver 402 N of push force and 345 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. Driven by filtered air through a PT1/8 port, it operates efficiently within a 30-800 mm/s speed range. Its square extruded aluminum barrel omits external tie rods, yielding a compact, corrosion-resistant body that mounts flush against machine frames, simplifying spatial constraints in tight assemblies.
This 32 mm bore unit incorporates a field-adjustable pneumatic cushion at both ends, allowing technicians to tune end-of-stroke deceleration via a screw rather than relying on a fixed bumper. Because this specific SKU lacks the built-in magnet option, it does not support direct CMSE or DMSE position sensing without modification. It remains a robust actuator for standard pneumatic motion, offering a 27 mm cushion length to smooth out high-speed transitions.

Where the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X280 Is Used
Carton Erector Flaps
Drives the folding mechanism on packaging lines, using the 280 mm stroke to open and close carton flaps where 402 N of push force is sufficient.
Sorting Diverter Arms
Actuates lightweight diverter gates on conveyor belts to redirect small product flows, benefiting from the tie-rod-free profile for flush mounting.
Small Part Ejectors
Pushes machined small parts out of CNC workholding fixtures, utilizing the 345 N retract force to quickly reset the ejection arm.
Is the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X280 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, evaluate stepping down or up based on your force requirements. If 402 N of push at 0.5 MPa is excessive for your load, consider smaller alternatives; conversely, if you need greater thrust, stepping up to the 40 mm bore yields 628 N push, while the 50 mm bore provides 982 N. Keep in mind that a standard SE cylinder will drift and cannot hold a load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, requiring a BSE rod lock for fail-safe positioning.
With a 280 mm stroke, the 12 mm rod and M10x1.25 thread handle moderate side loads, but long unsupported strokes invite rod-bearing bending. For optimal longevity, integrate an external guide to absorb radial stresses. As a dimensionally interchangeable ISO 15552 component, it serves as a drop-in replacement for other ISO 15552 cylinders, sharing standard mounting accessories like FA front flanges or LB foot 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 SE32X280 FAQ
The SE32X280 generates 402 N push and 345 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 563 N push at 0.7 MPa. It reaches a maximum push force of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
Yes, it is dimensionally interchangeable with other ISO 15552 profile cylinders and shares standard mounting dimensions. This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it does not support CMSE or DMSE electronic position sensors out of the box.
