About the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X55
The AirTAC SE32X55 is a double-acting single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for compact linear motion. It delivers a 402 N push at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a 12 mm rod and a PT1/8 port. This specific 55 mm stroke is a non-standard configuration, made-to-order to provide precise intermediate travel for tight machinery layouts.
Its square extruded aluminum barrel eliminates external tie rods, yielding a smooth, corrosion-resistant body that mounts flush in confined spaces. The integrated field-adjustable air cushioning at both ends allows technicians to tune end-of-stroke deceleration via a set screw, protecting payloads from hard impacts. Note this base SKU lacks a position-sensing magnet.

Where the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X55 Is Used
Lab Dispenser Gating
Actuates a 55 mm stroke diverter gate on automated analytical equipment, leveraging the 402 N push force to reliably route small fluid vials.
PCB Clamp Release
Provides precise 55 mm retraction for a circuit board edge-clamp, using its adjustable cushion to gently release delicate panels without shock.
Carton Flap Tucking
Drives a short-stroke folding mechanism on a compact packaging line, where the smooth tie-rod-free barrel prevents snagging on passing cardboard.
Is the Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X55 the Right Cylinder?
Choosing this 32 mm bore makes sense when you need exactly 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa within a 55 mm stroke envelope. If your application requires less force, the neighboring 32 mm bore is the smallest standard ISO 15552 option available, meaning you would step down to a non-ISO profile cylinder. If you need more power, stepping up to a 40 mm bore yields 628 N of push at 0.5 MPa.
As a true ISO 15552 cylinder, it serves as a drop-in replacement for any standard 32 mm bore profile cylinder, matching the exact mounting interface and PT1/8 port. Remember that the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end; it does not lock or hold the load. If your process requires position holding without live air pressure, you must integrate an external pilot-operated check valve or explore the BSE rod-lock variant.
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 SE32X55 FAQ
The SE32X55 delivers a push force of 402 N and a pull force of 345 N 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 operating speed ranges from 30-800 mm/s.
This specific SE32X55 SKU is configured without a built-in magnet, meaning it cannot host AirTAC CMSE or DMSE position sensors directly. If electronic or reed switch feedback is required, you must specify the -S option code when ordering to include the sensor magnet.
