About the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X42S
The AirTAC SE32X42S is a double-acting single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for compact pneumatics. It generates 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and operates at speeds from 30-800 mm/s. Because it uses an extruded aluminum barrel without external tie rods, the body is highly corrosion-resistant and mounts flush against machine frames, saving valuable space in tight assemblies.
This specific 32 mm bore unit includes a built-in magnet (S option) for CMSE reed and DMSE electronic position sensing. The 42 mm stroke is a non-standard, made-to-order length, allowing you to dial in the exact travel required for a specific mechanism. It also features field-adjustable air cushioning at both ends, letting technicians fine-tune the end-of-stroke deceleration to eliminate hard mechanical impacts.

Where the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X42S Is Used
PCB Router Z-Axis
Drives the vertical plunge of a light-duty PCB depaneling router, using the 42 mm stroke to clear the tooling. The 402 N push force is sufficient to overcome cutting friction while the S magnet tracks position.
Lab Dispenser Valve
Actuates a precision pneumatic dispensing valve for epoxy, where the non-standard 42 mm stroke sets the exact nozzle height. The flush profile barrel prevents reagent buildup on the body.
Carton Flap Folder
Tucks the minor flaps of small pharmaceutical cartons on a continuous motion line. The adjustable cushioning ensures the tucking arm retracts smoothly without denting the cardboard.
Is the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X42S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting the SE32X42S makes sense when a 42 mm travel is strictly required and you need the compact 32 mm bore footprint. If you need less force, stepping down is not an option as 32 mm is the smallest ISO 15552 bore in this series. If your application demands more power, stepping up to the 40 mm bore yields 628 N of push at 0.5 MPa. Keep in mind that this cylinder is double-acting; it cannot hold a load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, so a BSE rod lock is required for fail-safe position holding.
This model uses a PT1/8 port and an M10x1.25 rod thread. Because it is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, it serves as a drop-in replacement for other ISO 15552 cylinders, sharing standard mounting accessories like FA front flanges or LB foot brackets. The integrated -S magnet works seamlessly with AirTAC CMSE and DMSE sensors for end-of-stroke confirmation.
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 SE32X42S FAQ
