About the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X38S
The AirTAC SE32X38S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for compact pneumatic automation. It delivers a 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa alongside a 345 N pull force, utilizing a 12 mm hard-chrome piston rod and an M10x1.25 thread. The 38 mm stroke is a non-standard, made-to-order length, providing exact kinematic motion for specialized short-travel mechanisms.
This unit features a built-in magnet (-S) for seamless integration with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors. Its square extruded aluminum barrel completely eliminates external tie rods, yielding a flush, corrosion-resistant housing that mounts cleanly in tight machine envelopes. The field-adjustable air cushion at both ends allows technicians to fine-tune end-of-stroke deceleration, protecting internal components from impact during high-cycling operations.

Where the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X38S Is Used
PCB Pick-and-Place Z-Axis
Utilizes the 402 N push force and 38 mm stroke to drive vertical component placement heads in electronics assembly, relying on the compact profile barrel for tight multi-axis mounting.
Small Carton Flap Folding
Actuates short-travel folding arms on packaging lines, where the adjustable air cushion precisely halts the 38 mm stroke to prevent crushing lightweight cardboard.
Lab Dispenser Valve Actuation
Controls micro-dosing valves in chemical analysis equipment, using the built-in magnet to trigger DMSE electronic sensors for exact fluid metering cycles.
Is the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X38S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore actuator, evaluate stepping down to a bore that does not exist in the standard SE line, or stepping up to the SE40 bore, which provides a 628 N push at 0.5 MPa if your payload exceeds the 402 N capacity of this model. Because this is a double-acting cylinder, it relies on continuous air pressure to maintain position; if your application requires load holding during air loss, you must integrate an external pilot-operated check valve or select the BSE rod-lock variant. As a dimensionally interchangeable ISO 15552 cylinder, it serves as a drop-in replacement for any standard 32 mm profile cylinder, matching the PT1/8 port, 38 mm stroke, and standard mounting accessories.
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 SE32X38S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 402 N and the pull force is 345 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 563 N. The absolute maximum push capacity is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, it is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, serving as a drop-in replacement for other 32 mm profile cylinders. The field-adjustable air cushion at both ends allows you to tune the end-of-stroke deceleration via a set screw, softening hard stops without acting as a position lock.
