About the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X100SFA
The SC32X100SFA is a compact tie-rod cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at 0.9 MPa) from its 32 mm bore. With a 100 mm stroke and a 12 mm diameter piston rod, it suits short-to-medium linear moves where space is tight but reliable double-acting power is required.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S) so CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors can be clamped directly onto the barrel for rod-position feedback. The FA front rectangular flange (F-SC32FA) bolts the cylinder rigidly to a panel or machine frame from the rod end, keeping the barrel free. Seals are standard TPU for a -20 to +70 °C working range, and ports are PT1/8.

Where the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X100SFA Is Used
Small-part clamping & fixturing
The 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa is ideal for holding light workpieces on CNC jigs or assembly pallets. The built-in magnet lets a CMSG sensor confirm clamp closure before the cycle starts.
Diverter gates on compact conveyors
At 100 mm stroke, the SC32X100SFA can swing a small diverter gate or flipper on a packaging line. The front flange mount secures the cylinder directly to the conveyor side frame.
Lab automation & test fixtures
Clean, oil-free air operation and a compact 32 mm bore suit laboratory linear actuators. The magnetic piston enables end-of-stroke sensing for precise cycle counting in automated test rigs.
Is the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X100SFA the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC32 bore when your application needs up to 402 N at 0.5 MPa plant air. If you need more force, step up to the SC40 (628 N at 0.5 MPa). For strokes above 300 mm on this 12 mm rod, consider an external guide or a guided cylinder to protect the rod bearing from side load.
When replacing an existing unit, match five points: 32 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, FA front-flange mounting, and the -S magnet for sensor compatibility. The SC is a tie-rod design, not an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to another AirTAC SC of the same configuration.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for 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 (FA/FB/CA/CB/LB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X100SFA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the cylinder pushes with 402 N and pulls with 345 N. At 0.7 MPa push rises to 563 N, and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa it reaches 724 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix means a magnet is built into the piston, so AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors clip directly onto the barrel's sensor groove. Without the -S option, magnetic sensors cannot detect the piston position.
