The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X175S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 175mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC32X175S is a compact double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, scaling to 724 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. Its 175 mm stroke suits medium-reach clamping and sorting tasks, while the 12 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion provide smooth end-of-stroke deceleration.
This model includes the factory-installed -S magnet, allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to mount directly onto the barrel for non-contact position sensing. The body length A is 140 mm, and the total extended length is approximately 315 mm, making it a space-efficient choice for automation cells.

The built-in magnet on the SC32X175S pairs with barrel-mounted sensors to confirm full extension and retraction, making it ideal for automated part ejection systems where cycle verification is critical.
With 563 N of push force at 0.7 MPa, this cylinder reliably actuates diverter gates on small-package conveyor lines. The 175 mm stroke provides ample travel for lane switching.
The compact 32 mm bore and clean, filtered-air operation suit benchtop automation for test-tube pick-and-place. Sensor feedback ensures precise, repeatable positioning of delicate samples.
Select the SC32 bore when your application needs up to 724 N of thrust at 0.9 MPa and a lightweight, compact actuator. If your load exceeds this, step up to the SC40 bore, which provides 879 N at 0.7 MPa. For strokes of 175 mm, ensure the rod is not subjected to significant side loading; if lateral forces are present, add an external linear guide to protect the rod bearing and seals.
For drop-in replacement, match five key points: 32 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S suffix), and the basic mounting configuration. This cylinder is not an ISO 15552 profile unit; it is a genuine AirTAC tie-rod design and will only directly interchange with another AirTAC SC32 of the same specification.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa (5 bar), the push force is 402 N and the pull force is 345 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 724 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter overall body length than an ISO 15552 cylinder. The mounting dimensions and body profile are not interchangeable. You must replace it with another AirTAC SC32 tie-rod cylinder matching the same bore, stroke, port, and magnet configuration.
