The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X1200S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 1200mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC32X1200S is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder with a 32 mm bore and an extended 1200 mm stroke, which exceeds the standard maximum of 1000 mm for this bore size, making it a non-standard, made-to-order configuration. It delivers a push force of 402 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 724 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, driven by a 12 mm diameter piston rod with an M10x1.25 knuckle thread.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix) along the barrel, allowing direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors for precise, non-contact position feedback. The cylinder body length A is 140 mm, and with the 1200 mm stroke, the total extended length reaches 1340 mm. It uses PT1/8 ports and operates with filtered air within a standard temperature range of -20 to +70 °C.

The 1200 mm stroke on this 32 mm bore cylinder is ideal for transferring lightweight parts between distant conveyor lines or workstations where a compact body is needed.
With its built-in magnet for sensor feedback, the SC32X1200S precisely controls long-travel sorting gates, confirming open and closed positions for automated material handling systems.
The clean, oil-free operation and precise position sensing make this cylinder suitable for extending probes or handling trays in laboratory automation where long reach is essential.
For applications needing less force, stepping down to a 25 mm bore is not available in the SC series; the 32 mm bore is the smallest. If more force is required, the SC40 bore provides 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. With a 1200 mm stroke, the slender 12 mm rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads; an external linear guide or a guided cylinder is strongly recommended to prevent rod bearing damage and ensure reliable operation.
To replace an existing cylinder, you must match five key points: the 32 mm bore, the 1200 mm stroke, the PT1/8 port thread, the basic mounting style (no integrated bracket), and the presence of a built-in magnet for sensor compatibility. This SC model is a tie-rod design and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
Quick checklist
The theoretical push force is 402 N at 0.5 MPa, 563 N at 0.7 MPa, and 724 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. The pull force on the retract stroke is 345 N at 0.5 MPa due to the area of the 12 mm rod.
No, the 1200 mm stroke exceeds the standard maximum of 1000 mm for a 32 mm bore, making this a non-standard order. For such a long stroke with a 12 mm rod, you must use an external guide or a guided cylinder to prevent the rod from bending under any side load.
