About the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X480S
The AirTAC SE32X480S is a double-acting, single-rod profile cylinder built to the ISO 15552 standard. It features a square extruded aluminum barrel without external tie rods, yielding a compact, corrosion-resistant body that mounts flush in tight spaces. Delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it is engineered for precise, lower-force pneumatic tasks.
This 32 mm bore unit travels a 480 mm stroke and includes a built-in magnet (-S) for direct integration with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors. The field-adjustable air cushioning at both ends lets you tune end-of-stroke deceleration to prevent hard impacts, while the standardized ISO 15552 mounting interface ensures seamless dimensional interchangeability for retrofits.

Where the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X480S Is Used
PCB Drill Spindle Loader
Handles the 480 mm extension to position PCB drilling spindles, using the 402 N push force to accurately lower tooling without lateral deviation.
Package Sorting Diverter
Pushes lightweight cardboard cartons at 30-800 mm/s onto secondary packaging lines, relying on the adjustable cushion to soften end stops.
Lab Sample Tube Ejection
Extends 480 mm to eject test tube racks from centrifuge chambers, utilizing the built-in magnet for DMSE electronic position confirmation.
Is the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X480S the Right Cylinder?
Providing 402 N of push at 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore is the smallest standard size in the SE range. If your application demands less force, you would need to step out of the SE series, but if you require more power, stepping up to the 40 mm bore yields 628 N of push at 0.5 MPa. Because the 480 mm stroke is well over 300 mm, the 12 mm rod and rod-bearing face bending under side loads; an external guide is strongly recommended to prevent premature wear.
For a drop-in ISO 15552 replacement, match the 32 mm bore, 480 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, and your required mounting accessory. Note that a plain SE cylinder does not hold its load when air is exhausted or a valve is centered; the piston will drift. If your machine needs static position holding without live pressure, consider the BSE rod-lock variant or an external pilot-operated check valve.
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 SE32X480S FAQ
The SE32X480S generates 402 N of push force and 345 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 563 N, with a maximum push capacity of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operational speed range is 30-800 mm/s.
Yes, it is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, allowing it to serve as a drop-in replacement for other standard profile cylinders using the same mounting interface. However, it does not hold a load when air is lost; the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end and acts as a brake.
