The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X165S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 165mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC32X165S is a double-acting pneumatic 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 provide smooth deceleration across the 165 mm stroke.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to be clamped directly onto the tie-rod barrel for reliable end-of-stroke detection. The compact body length A of 140 mm keeps the overall extended length to just 305 mm.

The 165 mm stroke and integrated magnetic piston allow precise position sensing for diverting lightweight components on a conveyor line.
Operates a small gate or stop in packaging machinery, with sensor feedback confirming the open or closed state at each cycle.
Provides clean, oil-free actuation for test-tube handling or sample transfer in automated laboratory workstations.
For applications needing more force, the SC40 series offers 628 N of push force at the same 0.5 MPa pressure. When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 32 mm bore, 165 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, the built-in magnet for sensor compatibility, and the basic mounting style. Always ensure the rod is not subjected to side loads, as the 12 mm rod is designed for axial force only.
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 increases to 724 N.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet, making it compatible with AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG series sensors that mount externally on the tie-rods.
