The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X170S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 170mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC32X170S is a compact double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 170 mm stroke, pre-fitted with a built-in magnet for easy sensor mounting. At 0.5 MPa air pressure it produces 402 N of push force, making it a strong performer for its size in clamping and sorting tasks.
This model uses a 12 mm diameter piston rod with M10x1.25 threads and PT1/8 ports. The adjustable air cushion (21 mm length) decelerates the piston quietly, while the standard TPU seals support an operating temperature range of -20 to +70 °C. The body length A is 140 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 310 mm.

The 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa is ideal for fixturing and clamping small components during light machining or assembly, with the magnetic piston confirming jaw position via barrel-mounted sensors.
Use the 170 mm stroke to actuate diverter gates on compact packaging conveyors. The built-in magnet allows end-of-stroke sensing to sequence with upstream and downstream equipment.
The clean, tie-rod design and adjustable cushioning suit pick-and-place actuators in laboratory automation, where the -S magnet provides precise position feedback for sample handling.
Choose the SC32 bore for light pneumatic tasks up to 724 N at the maximum 0.9 MPa operating pressure. If your load exceeds this, step up to the SC40 bore which provides 628 N at 0.5 MPa. For strokes over 300 mm on a 12 mm rod, consider an external guide to prevent rod bending under side load.
To replace an existing cylinder, match these five points exactly: 32 mm bore, 170 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S suffix), and the basic (no bracket) mounting style. This ensures a drop-in fit for another AirTAC SC32 tie-rod unit.
Quick checklist
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the push force is 402 N and the pull force is 345 N. At 0.7 MPa, push force increases to 563 N, and at the maximum 0.9 MPa it reaches 724 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet on the piston. This allows you to clamp CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the barrel tie-rods to detect piston position without external brackets.
