About the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X500S
The AirTAC SE32X500S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for compact, high-speed automation. It delivers 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and operates efficiently across a 30-800 mm/s speed range. The square extruded aluminum barrel eliminates external tie rods, yielding a flush-mounting body that resists corrosion and simplifies fixture integration in tight machine envelopes.
Equipped with a built-in magnet (-S), this unit directly supports AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic position sensing for precise end-of-travel verification. Field-adjustable pneumatic cushioning at both ends allows you to tune end-stop deceleration, absorbing kinetic energy smoothly across the 500 mm stroke.

Where the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X500S Is Used
PCB Depanelling Router
Routes populated boards through a cutting spindle, using the 402 N push force to maintain positive feed over the 500 mm travel.
Carton Flap Folder
Actuates mechanical folding arms on continuous flow wrappers, relying on the 30-800 mm/s speed to match high-throughput lines.
Lab Sample Dispenser
Positions pipetting arrays over microplates, using the built-in S magnet with DMSE sensors for exact 500 mm traversal limits.
Is the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X500S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting the SE32X500S is optimal for applications needing 402 N push at 0.5 MPa within a 32 mm bore envelope. If your assembly requires less force, the 32 mm bore is the smallest standard ISO 15552 size available, so you would instead optimize by dropping the stroke length. Conversely, stepping up to the 40 mm bore provides 628 N push at 0.5 MPa for heavier payloads. Because this cylinder features a 500 mm stroke, the 12 mm rod and rod-bearing face bending moments under high side loads; an external guide rail is strongly recommended to prevent premature seal wear.
For retrofits, this cylinder is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, matching the 32 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, and standard mounting accessories. Note that the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end; it does not hold the load. If unpowered drift is unacceptable, specify a BSE rod lock.
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 SE32X500S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the SE32X500S delivers 402 N push and 345 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 563 N. The absolute maximum push force is 82 kgf when operated at the maximum rated pressure of 1.0 MPa.
No. The adjustable air cushion at both ends only decelerates the piston near the stroke limits; it is not a mechanical brake. If the air supply is lost or exhausted, the piston will drift. For position holding, use a BSE series rod lock or an external pilot-operated check valve.
