About the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X500
The AirTAC SE32X500 is a double-acting single-rod profile cylinder built to the ISO 15552 standard, delivering a push force of 402 N at 0.5 MPa and a maximum output of 82 kgf. Its square extruded aluminum barrel eliminates external tie rods, yielding a compact, corrosion-resistant body that mounts flush against machine frames.
This 32 mm bore unit features a PT1/8 port and a 12 mm hard-chrome plated rod. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet suffix, it does not support direct CMSE or DMSE position sensing without modification. Field-adjustable air cushioning at both ends allows technicians to tune end-of-stroke deceleration, preventing hard mechanical impacts during rapid 500 mm traverses.

Where the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X500 Is Used
Diverting Small Packages
Actuates routing gates on 24V DC conveyor lines, using the 402 N push force to pivot lightweight cardboard cartons without overpowering the mechanical stops.
Lab Sample Ejection
Extends 500 mm to push tested specimen trays out of analytical instruments, relying on adjustable pneumatic cushions to ensure a soft, vibration-free handoff.
Film Roll Web Guide
Trims the position of packaging material webs on form-fill-seal machines, where the compact tie-rod-free profile allows tight mounting inside narrow guarding.
Is the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X500 the Right Cylinder?
Choosing this 32 mm bore makes sense when your application requires the 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, there is no smaller standard ISO 15552 bore in this series, but stepping up to the 40 mm bore yields 628 N of push force for heavier loads. As a true ISO 15552 profile cylinder, the SE32X500 serves as a drop-in replacement for any standard 32 mm bore, 500 mm stroke cylinder with a PT1/8 port and basic mounting interface.
With a 500 mm stroke, the 12 mm rod is highly susceptible to side-load bending and rod-bearing wear if the load is not guided externally. Furthermore, a plain double-acting cylinder does not hold position pneumatically—if air pressure is lost or the valve centers, the piston will drift; for positive load holding, 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 SE32X500 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore cylinder provides 402 N of push force and 345 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 563 N. The maximum push force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa, and the operational speed range is 30-800 mm/s.
Yes, the SE32X500 is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552. You can use it as a drop-in replacement for other 32 mm bore, 500 mm stroke profile cylinders, retaining existing mounting hardware and PT1/8 port connections.
