The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X100S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 100mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC32X100S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 12 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion make it a reliable workhorse for short-to-medium linear moves in compact automation cells.
This -S variant includes a factory-installed magnet, allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to clamp directly onto the barrel for non-contact position sensing. The 100 mm stroke sits well within the 1000 mm maximum standard stroke for the 32 mm bore, keeping lead times short.

The 100 mm stroke and sensor-ready magnet make this cylinder ideal for compact pick-and-place units where end-of-stroke confirmation is required by the PLC.
With 402 N of push force at standard line pressure, the SC32X100S reliably actuates small diverter gates on packaging and sortation conveyors.
The clean, tie-rod design and sensor compatibility suit liquid handling and test-tube transfer mechanisms in laboratory automation workstations.
For applications needing more force, stepping up to the SC40 bore provides 628 N at 0.5 MPa. When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 32 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and any mounting accessory. The SC is a tie-rod design and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the cylinder pushes with 402 N and pulls with 345 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force reaches 724 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix designates a built-in magnet, so AirTAC CMSG (reed) and DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors can be clamped onto the barrel to detect piston position without additional brackets.
