The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X230S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 230mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC32X230S is a compact 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 230 mm stroke, making it a reliable actuator for light automation tasks.
A built-in magnet (suffix -S) allows CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to clamp directly onto the tie-rod barrel for non-contact position sensing. The PT1/8 ports and M10x1.25 rod thread keep connections simple, while the 140 mm body length A results in a total extended length of approximately 370 mm.

| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | — |
| Max (approx.) | 82 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

The 230 mm stroke and sensor-ready design suit light pick-and-place heads where end-of-stroke confirmation is required for cycle start.
Operates diverter gates on narrow conveyors. The built-in magnet lets a single DMSG sensor verify gate position without external brackets.
Provides consistent linear motion for reagent dispensing arms. The 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa is well-matched to low-resistance syringe plungers.
For applications needing more force, step up to the 40 mm bore SC40 series which provides 628 N at 0.5 MPa. If a shorter overall length is required, consider a 32 mm bore with a stroke below 200 mm. This cylinder is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC32 tie-rod unit matching the 230 mm stroke, PT1/8 ports, basic mounting, and the -S magnet option.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the push force is 402 N and pull force is 345 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 724 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet. You can clamp AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the tie-rod barrel to detect piston position without additional mounting hardware.
