The AirTAC Airtac SE32 Standard Cylinder SE32X980S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 / VDMA 24562 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 980mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its standardized mounting interface makes it a drop-in replacement for other ISO 15552 cylinders in automation lines.
The AirTAC SE32X980S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for compact pneumatics, delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Because it uses a square extruded aluminum barrel without external tie rods, it mounts flush against machine frames and resists corrosion in tight machinery spaces.
This specific unit includes a built-in magnet (-S) for non-contact position sensing using AirTAC CMSE reed or DMSE electronic switches. The 980 mm stroke is a non-standard, made-to-order length that maximizes travel within the 32 mm bore class, while field-adjustable air cushions at both ends absorb kinetic energy to protect your tooling.

Drives a lightweight sorting flap on a packaging conveyor, using the 980 mm stroke to reach across the belt and the -S magnet to confirm gate position.
Extracts long-travel sample trays from laboratory testing ovens, where the 402 N push force is sufficient to overcome tray friction and the compact profile saves space.
Positions a cutting carriage on a flexible film web line, relying on the adjustable end cushions to stop the 980 mm stroke smoothly without tearing the material.
At 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore generates 402 N of push force. If your application requires less force, there is no smaller standard ISO 15552 bore in the AirTAC line, so you must look at compact cylinder series instead. If you need to step up to the next size, the 40 mm bore yields 628 N of push at 0.5 MPa. Remember that a plain SE cylinder does not hold its position if air pressure drops or the valve centers; the piston will drift. Use a BSE rod lock for fail-safe holding.
Because the 980 mm stroke exceeds the 1000 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, it is made-to-order. At this extended length, the 12 mm rod is highly susceptible to side-load bending and sagging. You must use an external guide rail to prevent rod-bearing damage and stick-slip chatter.
Quick checklist
The SE32X980S generates 402 N of push force and 345 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 563 N. The maximum allowable push force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the SE32X980S is dimensionally interchangeable with other ISO 15552 profile cylinders and shares standard mounting hardware. It features a PT1/8 port and a built-in magnet compatible with AirTAC CMSE and DMSE sensors.
