The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X1150S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 1150mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC32X1150S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 32 mm bore and a non-standard stroke of 1150 mm, exceeding the standard maximum of 1000 mm for this bore size. It delivers a theoretical push force of 402 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 724 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, making it suitable for light-duty linear tasks requiring an extended reach.
This model features a 12 mm diameter piston rod with an M10x1.25 thread and PT1/8 ports. The built-in magnet (suffix -S) allows direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors along the barrel for precise end-of-stroke or intermediate position detection. The adjustable pneumatic cushion decelerates the piston over the final 21 mm of travel to reduce impact noise and vibration.

The long 1150 mm stroke and sensor-ready design make it ideal for actuating sweep arms or rejection gates on wide conveyor lines, where end-of-stroke confirmation is critical for cycle speed.
Provides extended linear travel for glue heads or dispensers across large workpieces. The built-in magnet allows multi-position sensing to verify the application path.
Suitable for light-duty pick-and-place mechanisms that need to extend deep into racks or bins. The adjustable cushion protects the assembly from shock at the end of the extended reach.
For applications needing slightly more force, consider stepping up to the 40 mm bore SC40 series, which provides 628 N of push at 0.5 MPa. Due to the long 1150 mm stroke, the 12 mm rod is susceptible to bending under side loads; an external linear guide or a guided cylinder variant is strongly recommended to prevent rod bearing damage and ensure reliable operation.
When replacing an existing cylinder, ensure a 5-point match: 32 mm bore, 1150 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, the built-in magnet for sensor compatibility, and the basic mounting configuration. This tie-rod cylinder is dimensionally shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder and is not a drop-in replacement for that standard.
Quick checklist
The theoretical force at 0.5 MPa is 402 N pushing and 345 N pulling. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 724 N. For precise dynamic sizing, consider friction and load factors.
No. The SC32X1150S is a double-acting cylinder and will drift or drop its load if air pressure is exhausted or the directional valve is centered. To hold a position without live pressure, you must add a pilot-operated check valve or an external mechanical rod lock.
