About the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X180S
The AirTAC SC32X180S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 180 mm stroke, providing a push force of 402 N at 0.5 MPa (724 N at the 0.9 MPa max operating pressure). Its 12 mm diameter piston rod and 21 mm adjustable air cushion ensure smooth end-of-stroke deceleration for light to medium automation tasks.
This model features a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG reed or solid-state sensors on the barrel for non-contact position sensing. The compact body length of 140 mm plus the 180 mm stroke results in a total extended length of approximately 320 mm, making it suitable for space-constrained installations requiring reliable feedback.

Where the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X180S Is Used
Small Part Ejection
The 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa is ideal for ejecting lightweight plastic or metal components from injection molds or stamping dies, with the magnetic piston enabling precise end-of-stroke confirmation.
Diverter Gate Actuation
Operates small diverter gates on packaging conveyors. The 180 mm stroke provides sufficient travel for sorting cartons, while the built-in magnet allows for reliable open/closed position sensing via barrel-mounted sensors.
Laboratory Automation
Suited for test tube handling or pipette tip loading mechanisms in lab automation equipment. The compact 32 mm bore and 180 mm stroke fit easily into benchtop instruments, with sensor feedback ensuring accurate cycle completion.
Is the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X180S the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing slightly more force, consider stepping up to the SC40 bore, which provides 628 N of push at 0.5 MPa. The SC32X180S is a standard stroke model within the 1000 mm maximum limit for this bore. When replacing an existing cylinder, ensure a 5-point match: 32 mm bore, 180 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, basic (no mounting accessory), and the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — consider a guided cylinder
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (FA/FB/CA/CB/LB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X180S FAQ
At the standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, the cylinder delivers 402 N pushing force and 345 N pulling force. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the pushing force increases to 724 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix in the model code SC32X180S indicates a built-in magnet in the piston. This allows you to clamp AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the cylinder barrel to detect piston position without any modification.
