The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X185S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 185mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC32X185S is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, ideal for light-duty clamping and sorting tasks. Its 185 mm stroke is well within the 1000 mm maximum standard stroke for the 32 mm bore, ensuring standard lead times.
This model features a built-in magnet, allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to clamp directly onto the tie-rod barrel for reliable end-of-stroke detection. The 12 mm diameter piston rod and M10x1.25 rod thread provide a compact interface, while the 21 mm adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates the piston smoothly, reducing noise and impact energy.

The built-in magnet enables CMSG/DMSG sensors to confirm full extension and retraction, making this cylinder suitable for automated part ejection gates where position verification is critical for cycle integrity.
With 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, the SC32X185S can actuate small diverter flaps on conveyor lines, sorting packages or components by weight class with a compact 185 mm stroke.
The clean, oil-free air operation and sensor feedback suit this cylinder for positioning sample trays or actuating wash-station arms in benchtop analytical equipment.
Choose the SC32X185S when your application needs a compact cylinder with sensor-ready position feedback. The 32 mm bore generates 402 N at 0.5 MPa; if your load is marginal, stepping up to the SC40 bore provides 628 N at the same pressure, while a step down is not available in this tie-rod family.
For replacement, match five key points: 32 mm bore, 185 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S suffix), and the basic mounting style. This cylinder is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders; it is a shorter tie-rod design.
Quick checklist
At 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, the push force reaches 724 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet, so AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors can be clamped onto the tie-rod barrel to detect piston position without external brackets or flags.
