The AirTAC Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X235S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 235mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC32X235S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at 0.9 MPa). With a 12 mm piston rod and M10x1.25 rod thread, this 32 mm bore unit handles a 235 mm stroke within the standard stroke range, making it a reliable workhorse for light pneumatic positioning and clamping tasks.
A built-in magnet (-S suffix) is integrated into the piston, allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to mount directly on the barrel for contactless end-of-stroke detection. The adjustable air cushion (21 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly, reducing impact noise and extending seal life in high-cycle applications.

The 402 N force at 0.5 MPa is ideal for fixturing and clamping small components in CNC machining or assembly jigs, with sensor confirmation of clamp position.
Actuates lightweight diverter gates on packaging conveyors. The built-in magnet enables position feedback to the PLC, ensuring reliable sorting of small parcels.
Powers pick-and-place actuators in laboratory automation. The compact 32 mm bore and 235 mm stroke suit test tube handling and microplate positioning.
Choose the SC32 for applications needing up to 724 N of thrust at 0.9 MPa. If your load requires more force, step up to the SC40 bore, which provides 628 N at 0.5 MPa. For strokes of 300 mm or longer, consider an external guide or a guided cylinder to protect the 12 mm rod from bending under side loads.
To ensure a correct replacement, match five key points: 32 mm bore, 235 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility, and the basic mounting style. This model uses the standard TPU seals rated for -20 to +70 °C.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the push force is 563 N. The maximum push force at 0.9 MPa is 724 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet, making it fully compatible with AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG series sensors that clamp onto the barrel profile for non-contact position sensing.
