The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X15S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 15mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC32X15S is a compact double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at 0.9 MPa). With a 15 mm stroke and a 12 mm diameter piston rod, it is built for short, precise linear movements in automated assembly fixtures.
This model includes the -S suffix, indicating a built-in magnet embedded in the piston. This allows direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors on the barrel for reliable end-of-stroke detection without external brackets.

Short 15 mm stroke ejects small components from injection molds or stamping dies, with the built-in magnet providing cycle confirmation to the PLC.
Actuates miniature diverter gates on conveyor lines. The compact 140 mm body length plus stroke fits easily into tight packaging machine layouts.
Pipette tip loading or vial capping in laboratory automation where a clean, short-throw actuator with sensor feedback is required.
For applications requiring more force, consider stepping up to the 40 mm bore SC40 series, which provides 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The SC32X15S is a standard-stroke model well within the 1000 mm maximum for this bore size. When replacing an existing cylinder, match the 32 mm bore, 15 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, and ensure the replacement also carries the -S magnet option for sensor compatibility.
Quick checklist
At the standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, the push force is 402 N and the pull force is 345 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force increases to 724 N.
Yes. The -S suffix denotes a built-in magnet, making this cylinder fully compatible with AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG series solid-state and reed sensors that clamp directly onto the tie-rod barrel.
